It's one that has been brewing for some time. Under current rules it should be ok. And thats not ok given how sacrosanct the head is otherwise. If we are going to legislate ruck contest blocks we should apply same rules for feet to head in marking fuels. And if your foot causes injury, and the action unjustifiable it should be suspendable.

Look out....let's see how many dogs players we can bag before the night is done.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Wallis & Libba are on my tradable list. How many mid speed, inside mids can we collect? Dunkley seems to be the future, Clay Smith has another year. We are trying to make Webb into one too.

I might be on my own here but I think we will lift in the last quarter

Please fight this one out dogs. I don't want to GWS players rubbing our noses in it with a runaway last quarter.

I don't believe you should be able to stick the studs into an opponent in any situation regardless.

My preference wouldn't be to trade him, but if we got a Matthew Guy style offer we couldn't refuse, we should take it.
His potential is great but his output for 24 months is nowhere near his reputation. Severely overrated and his body language is again awful.

Hyperbole maybe, but in my opinion irrespective of whether we make the 8, we are not a premiership threat.
Our one huge strength last year has been nullified and that has meant our deficiency in the forward 50 is now terminally exposed.

Nothing more than a good, ordinary footballer I'm afraid.

Agreed.
Wouldn't be in the side if we had options.

I get you can put your foot up to protect yourself in a marking contest.....but receiving a handball in open play?

Fair enough.
Everything is rosy and we don't have players underperforming.

Is it about bagging though AR? Or is it deeper than that? We've tried to bring our pressure game; and not only has that beem5found wanting but our inability to capitalise on opportunities is still a thorn in our side.
So the one area we had ascendancy in last year is not up to scratch and we've not addressed our deficiency in regards to our forward 50 play.
We need to ask hard questions of our personnel at the very least.
