Re: Bont still a Brownlow chance after quirk of MRO timing
The fact that they came out and complained is evidence that they wanted Bont to miss the final. Utterly ordinary and a blatant attempt to sabotage us.

Lets not talk like we've made the finals.
Re: Bont still a Brownlow chance after quirk of MRO timing
GWS can go *!*!*!*! themselves and Campbell can stick his medical report where the sun don't shine. Wayne Campbell is a *!*!*!*! wit of the highest order. Excuse the french but that is an absolute disgraceful act to try get Bontempelli suspended for such an un malicious bump. I thought the club should've contested the $2000 fine as I thought it was unjust. A free kick was warranted and that's it.
Michael Christian can jam it too while I'm on a rant. Jack Ziebal has been doing worst than what Bontempelli did for years and has no case to answer.
What a load of rubbish the AFEL has become.

Exactly. It’s going to be the biggest let down of all time if we lose.

Im nervous as *!*!*!*!, big game everything on the line and the opponent is the Crows who we've choked a fair few times before .
Re: Bont still a Brownlow chance after quirk of MRO timing
The fine was an absolute joke. Marcus DID NOT choose to bump - the collision was unavoidable so he stopped his momentum and braced to minimize impact. He then lowered his body to avoid head contact.
To say the contact was high is a fail anatomically - contact was to the upper chest which is where the base of the larynx is located.
If Marcus had have been suspended for that, that would be it for me as far as the AFL is concerned.

I wonder if this could be another Collins moment re Chris Grant.
Re: Bont still a Brownlow chance after quirk of MRO timing
So he couldn't breathe properly but played the entire second half in a game they got flogged. Shouldn't there be questions on the giants medical staff if they are allowing a player back on the field that is having difficulty breathing?
I think i'll wait until week 1 of the finals & see if Haynes is playing or not before i believe that medical report. Something tells me he will be playing though.

If that is GWS' own medical assessment then he shouldn't be allowed to play for as long as their own medical diagnosis says he is unfit.

The medical staff should be asked to take lie detector. How can you ask a player to come back on when they have breathing difficulty ? It makes no sense .
Ziebell deliberately charged cloke and broke his ribs with full intent , and gets off with nothing other than “fair “ bump
MRO hate us and will try to go out of their way to suspend or fine our players
Aka redpath
Screw the MRO what a farce .

Well it’s worked in our favour this time.

They are still hurting over 2016, bless their cotton socks.

This is a beaut post
I like Haynes and hope he is ok. No way does Bont deserve a suspension. Hate those orange campaigners even more.

Agreed. It would actually be very Bulldogs of old to lose this.
