There defence will be that he slipped and it forced the action. But he definately flung his leg out, hit him on the shin with enough force he has to get a week. Not a dog act, it was a reflex action but reckless. Still a week.

Typical of Foxtel our replay not on till 730am. Collingwood's was 2 hours after they played.

Agree wholeheartedly. It's absolutely unacceptable to expect Collingwood fans to wait 2 hours.

Stevens not meeting the ball, were costly errors in the end.

I thought Goodes took a big risk at that stage of the game. He should not have switched back to the corridor but instead gone down the wing.

Marcus Picken and Jake Dahlhaus featuring in Scott Frawleys and Max Russell's Foxtel call fantastic professional effort.

That's good for them.

Was it Healy who continuously called Matthew Boyd Brad?

Yep think so. The fact that they are more like special comments is laughable.

Re: Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle

No, because kicking someone like the way he did is a dangerous dog act and the tribunal needs to show that you just can't do that. A fine is not enough.

I like Fyfe, but wasn't it a similar trip by leg from Paul Deer that effectively ended Foster's career?
It's a dangerous act

We can add De Jong to that.

Goodes took the correct option, but

1/ The ball took a little too long to reach the target allowing Mayne to spoil.

2/ Stevens didn't attack the ball or protect the ball drop.

We needed to continue to take risks at this point in the game.

I tend to agree. Right option, less than perfect execution.

On the three or four times in the game that stationary kickers left the ball up in the air too long, Freo made us pay nearly every time. Another example was when Roughead left the ball in the air too long on one occasion at half back, and Jong was jogging to it and was spoiled.

Such a game of inches, particularly in those situations at half back when players are kicking 45 degrees, that you need the kicker and receiver to be doing things as close to perfectly as they can. More often than not, we have been. Boyd, Roughie, Talia, obviously Murphy, and usually Roberts and Wood - have been kicking the ball well this year. But the rare mistake comes at a huge cost.

I thought at the time Jong may have been protecting his injury by not taking this one in the hands.

Re: Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle

It seemed to me that yesterday as per the examples above we waited for the ball to reach us more than usual. Interesting contrast with someone like Fyfe, who would constantly accelerate his body towards the footy to make his mark unspoilable.

Re: Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle

He needs to go for it. He doesn't need to be hung drawn etc. etc., but he needs to get at least a week or so.

He would most likely have gotten a week for it last year but the changes in tripping laws in 2015 will most likely see him get a fine this year. I don't get all the gnashing of teeth over this - Dustin Fletcher has done something similar at least half a dozen times over his career and never got more than a week at a time. Tripping by foot happens at least a handful of times every season and it is never referred to as kicking, nor it is ever given serious treatment.

The Paul Dear incident on Fozzie was far worse, and it is folly to be using this as a direct comparison to yesterday.
