    Mumford

    There is a suggestion in the Age that Mumford could be in front of the tribunal for the head high on McEvoy and because of 93.5 carry over points even a reprimand would see him suspended.

    If he gets any points for that then we have seriously lost the plot as a so called body contact sport.

        There really was nothing in it at all, if Mummy gets anything for that I cannot say how immensely frustrated with the AFL I will be.

        I daresay that young Ben would be a little ashamed of his performance after the knock when he watches a replay- he looked more like an actress playing a society dame that was fainting in a silent film than a young ruckman playing in the AFL finals.
        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                Just watched the 4th quarter again. In normal speed you don't even notice the contact...you have to see slow mo to even see the contact. He was going straight for the ball - eyes on the footy. McEvoy was acting big time - but only to get a 50. No chance of that as contact was in the contest...just would have been a free if he didn't take the mark (which he did).

                  I thought it was Dal Santo but they look alike.

                  Robbo on Game Day mentioned it and said that it was a tad late but didn't think there would be more to come out of it. Mummy is more on sling tackle watch.

                    MRP will take a look at it, grade it "accidental" after three seconds and move on.

                      Actually, it was a mark - ump didn't even bother paying 50m. Truly not reportable stuff (I hope).

                        FFS these journos love to create controversy, if that is even looked at then that is a disgrace.

                          I'm going to award McEvoy 9.25 for his half twist. What a faker!

                            I didn't IQ the match.

                            Haven't breathed since I read the article.

                            Wot's the word on Fanta Pants & Hanny?

                              Serves you right for not IQing.

                              Red and Hanners.....don't know yet, but red may have young man's syndrome....knee tired, and you never know with Hanners....kind of a Kel type, never really know how injured they actually get.

                              And yes, you were right....can't remember who pointed it out.....ump just paid the mark...no free. The way they were giving away frees for anything it would seem they didn't rate it either.
