[Lightning McQueen]

There was a lot of Russel Coightness in Longmire's presser

[mots02]

How good!
The Carlton of old would have lost that.
Bring on Melbourne

the Carlton of old would have already been two weeks into their end of season trip.

So Maynard goes to the tribunal for an accident which could get a 3 game penalty but an intentional elbow to the face gets 1 game.
Footy is fugged if Maynard gets a game much less 3.

McStay played out the rest of the game, Brayshaw got knocked out cold & was stretchered off.

But what action is worse?
Jumping for a smother or raising an elbow to the head

You describe it poorly but definitely the first one.
You can't contact with a player after they get rid of the ball but you can contest a loose ball.
Players are at their most vulnerable just after kicking the ball and should be protected (and are by the rules).
It's even a penalty in union and league where the incidental contact of the 2nd incident would be play on.
There's a reason for it.
The 2 incidents are pretty straight forward
Van Rooyen 1 week. Careless/ high/ medium impact
Maynard 3 weeks + Careless/high/severe impact

What about Martin, cited yet?

[Wedgie]

Do the Saints normally have collars on their guernseys?

Do the chickens have large talons?

Depends on your opinion of large but either way ptilopody would be a better way of describing them.
Come on Vamos, you know I'm always interested in the big issues in footy/life.

[Wedgie]

Bloody entertaining first quarter, go the Orange Tsunami!

No sound at the pub but we were confused as it was always a point.

[mighty_tiger_79]

I thought diving was an Olympic sport

[Wedgie]

Well there's a big, big sound, from west of the town!
Wouldn't want to be playing them next week!
