    I agree.

    It seemed to me Fev had a 'WTF have I done' look about it and was instantly remorseful.

    If it was a complete accident, I doubt that Fev would have even known he had kicked him in the head, he would have just stood up and walked back to take the kick.

        Well I was wondering if anyone else was going to be as ungenerous as myself, so didn't say anything. But I did wonder if he hurt Bolts considerably more than he meant to. Anyway even if the act wasn't in the best of spirit, at least the apology was.

            The same thought crossed my mind at the time.

                I think Fev meant to 'kick' Bolton, but not in the head. Like defenders on forwards, he was taking an opportunity to rough him up - a heavy leg coming down on Bolton's back would have hurt him a little and maybe slowed him down. A boot to the head almost certainly wasn't what he meant.

                        Absolutely, just as laid back as ever. But there were four ribs broken, and two of them twice. ..... I feel sick.

                            With Tedwood being out for the rest of the season, what are the chances of Murphy coming in? He is being groomed as a defender. No better chance than this week against Melbourne.

                                He was on FSN last night. Looked very pale! He is a tough bugger.

                                    OMG. Four ribs!!

                                    Fev should have been up before the MRP for that.
                                    Disgusting that he's not.

                                    If you put someone in hospital, it should be an automatic suspension.

                                    "Accident" or not.

                                        The reply was " you owe me a beer".

                                            Sorry Annie disagree entirely - he was going for a contested mark, in the way you are taught to do.

                                            If little Adie reads your comment then we could expect contested marking to be taken out of the game.

                                                Contested mark or not. That's far too much damage to go unreported.

                                                    They were all going for the ball, Ted knew what was coming, Fev did nothing that any other forward would have done.
