In that case I wouldn't be surprised if he DID get reported. The incident I saw (and referred to in my last post) also invloved Smith...and the book definately came out.
Funny really, at half time in the crowd we were discussing which Sturt player was most likely to be the first to get thumped behind the play by Gowans at the restart (cos we know they are both such sore losers)
The trouble is "Purch" if your team over the last 10 years had players like the Gowans you might have a few more premierships on the shelfs at Unley because there is NO and i repeat NO players of ANY other team in the last decade that we would swap them for.
As for discussing who they would hit behind play,i think you will find they do it behind in front to the side of play and if his brother had not been injured you would probably get good money on Chris hitting James.
Come finals time they will be there and you all know what that means,number 8 coming up!!!
Be that as it may Sturt were way to good today and even though we had players injured early i dont believe that would have made to much difference today as Sturt were on song,we were beaten in the ruck and had no forwards to speak of i cant think of one position we actually won on the day.We have these sort of games every year (Eagles/North) last year but we are always up and about when it counts.
The biggest issue for Sturt is the ability to back up this win the following week which as shown by the Eagles is not easy to do.
