Oh wow why haven't I thought of that yet.

Get one of your underlings to do it xD

You're an idiot watching it in slo-mo all the time.

Clique much. You two are the same person right

You're in the clique you goose. Stop fighting it.

Mind you, everyone on woof is in our little cabal if you ask me.

It's true, also that's insulting to geese.

One of us! One of us! One of us! (me to new members).

Interesting to hear Luke Hodge this morning on the incident. He said Lynch is very lucky to get away with smashing into Alex.

Confirms it was the right decision !

Geelong decided not to appeal the Gary Rohan suspension. They must have thought, meh, it's only Rohan

Also Will Day's appeal dismissed.

Brayshaw free to play after the collision that concussed Libba.

MRO's explanation:

The incident involving the Fremantle?s Andrew Brayshaw and the Western Bulldogs? Tom Liberatore from the fourth quarter of Friday night's match was assessed. The ball bounces out of a stoppage away from Fremantle?s Michael Walters and Liberatore, and towards Brayshaw. As both Brayshaw and Liberatore approach the ball, Walters applies considerable pressure to Liberatore?s back as Brayshaw lowers to contest the ball and high contact is made. It is the view of the MRO that it was reasonable for Brayshaw to contest the ball in the way that he did and that contact was caused by circumstances outside the control of Brayshaw. No further action was taken.

As much as it sucks that Libba misses next week I think this is a fair decision and an adequate explanation.

I'd be filthy if Brayshaw played for us and was suspended for that incident.

Interestingly, Liam Jones 1st quarter bump didn't even warrant a mention by the MRO. Not that there was anything in it, in spite of BTs efforts to make something of it.

A cursory re-watch of it afterwards had me confident Jones wouldn't have to worry. The Freo player flung himself back to try and milk a free.

The Brayshaw one was interesting. My initial thoughts were he led with the leg and hip to a vulnerable player who was coming front on at him, but if they think Libba was pushed perhaps that's enough to get him off.

Surely Duncan gets at minimum 4 weeks

Does he?

Fox runs post the ball (granted inadvertently) and is on the way down when impact occurs. I can see this being handled similarly to Brayshaw's. I'm not sure what else Duncan can do there.

The Ward tackle on Lachie Neale was weird. It looked as though Neale was going out of his way to make sure his head hit the ground. There's hardly any force on Ward's part and the tackle looked perfectly reasonable to me.
