Money: Razor Ray... Baffling decisions, he should hand back his paycheck

Oh yeah, bitofbite, I was totally confused today with some of the decisions too!

So for me,
Spoilers - I think Shaggy looked out of sorts today (along with a few others I could name!)

Guns - thank you god for Matty Boyd!

Money - Hall - for not totally losing it when those louts tried to stir him up after his accidental knock on one of those other players, can't remember who! (This is because I mostly only see red, white and blue out of these eyes!)

Re: Spoilers, Guns and Money - R1

Spoiler - Ryan Hargrave - allowed their mid sized forwards to dominate
Guns - Boyd, Murphy, Higgins - kept us in it
Money - Daniel Cross knocking the ball to advantage in contested situations

Spoiler - The Flu. It took out Dale Morris on the day that Hargrave, Harbrow and Williams turned in shockers.

Guns - Murphy was excellent. Hudson was great in the ruck. Boyd at least worked hard all day.

Money - Johnson playing on in the 2nd quarter and nailing a pass to Hall with his left foot.

Re: Spoilers, Guns and Money - R1

Spoilers = Williams, fumble almost everything that came his way.
Guns = Murphy, Boyd(without these two we would have been flogged) and no one else stood out enough to be mention here
Money =Our effort in the second quarter to close the gap, but unfortunately we couldn't keep it going all match.

Re: Spoilers, Guns and Money - R1

Spoiler: Williams looked like a guy still learning the game
Guns:
Murphy was clearly our best
Cooney is super-important to us
Hahn is better than last year

Money: Boyd was simply unstoppable in the first half, 21 touches and a goal. He may have actually improved following his B&F last year

This was an interesting, tense, scary, exciting moment. My hairs stood on end, I broke into a cold sweat, and time seemed to stand still or at least go into slow motion as I watched the Pies descend on Bazza, and he just fronted up. He certainly looked on the edge of exploding. If this happens every match my heart won't be able to take it.

On a positive note for the Dogs, teams used to just park a guy in the hole and pluck off our forward 50 forays with impunity because they knew that we didn't have anyone big enough or fast enough (sorry, Hahn) to cause any damage. At least now everyone knows that you stand in the hole against the Dogs at your peril, at risk of concussion, or worse. Sam Gilbert, you have been warned.

On a negative, I didn't think Bazz needed to go up to the kid lying on the ground to taunt him. I thought initially that Bazz was going over to check on the kid, which would have been a lovely gesture, but I guess he was pissed off that his mark was spoiled by a moment of reckless impudence. Love the agro, but Bazz really needs to pull his head in that little bit more to last through the season.

I don't know about this. Its AFL footy, its heated and unforgiving. I have no problem with Bazza giving him the message that if he stands in the hole - thats whats going to happen. Hopefully it sent the message to a few other teams defenders out there.

Agree with the need for the message -- if you re-read my post you will see that, but I feel that the message was already given, by the very fact that what happened happened. He should have just let the incident speak for itself. Would have kept the focus on the hit itself and not so much on his volatility, and with his history, he really doesn't need to get involved in any flare-ups.

A silent assassin is far more frightening than a posturing, or worse, suspended, one.

Sums it up for me... I thought all hell was gonna break loose.
