#AFL Finals week 2 weekly discussion thread

2 man pile-ons are very common. Its a tactic to force a ball-up used by all teams. Nothing unusual about being 1.5 seconds late to tackle.

He has form of pulling hair and rough conduct from the bulldogs game. Anything more is baseless speculation. And his intent is unknown. I think the Giants will argue he was feeling around for the ball. He is unsighted.

And the extend of the breach of rules is a penalty against (in game).

Gold medal.

Yeah no.
Are you a swans fan, or just a GW$ troll?

Yeah no.

This discussion and topic has nothing to do with the swans.

Being a Swans fan does not imply you hate GWS.

Gold medal.

I can understand your view since you are product (and avid consumer) of the por-victorian media.
But ignoring the media, and just using the data of TV vision, Bontempelli/Neale comments, and AFL tribinal findings, the above is true.

It should.

Melbourne based Swans fans should be aware that some of us up here in the centre of the known universe find it difficult to accept that the
fortunes of our team appear to be heavily influenced by the goings on in this funny little place made up of tiny laneways and a strange looking
brown "river" to our south. It's quite challenging.

Well, yeah, but a persecution complex is a bridge too far...

Making assumptions at Olympic level too. We'll make a decathlete of you yet.

When one of your primary tourist attractions is "good coffee", you know you're struggling.

Will be barracking for GWS against Collingwood. Hope Greene plays and there is a trace of a witch hunt here but why on earth would be put himself in this position by putting his hands anywhere near Neale's face? Giants defending him as playing on the edge but he can't seem to help himself. Hawkins in same boat with the swinging arm.

Yep, neither of these blokes can help themselves. It's unfortunate for their teams. Neither need distractions going into a prelim.
I'd let them both off, but I understand that is a minority opinion and it's partly because I'd like to see a GWS/Geelong GF.
Both teams play 8 games at their own home ground and so the MCG will be a vaguely neutral venue for both of them.

[AnnieH]

It's really hard... don't know who I hate more... colliwobbles or GW$.
Either way, I won't be adding to the ratings points.

That sounds like "reverse fairness" to me. Or have I got that wrong?

And When resident of your own city are moving in droves to a city that has “ good coffee” as a primary tourist attraction, thats when you know you are really struggling.

Or they just really enjoy a good coffee

I can't understand why the tribunal is always in Melbourne. It's made up of a few random ex players and a couple of lawyers. They could find those in Sydney, or even fly the key ones up.
It's far more descriptive to the player to travel than the lawyer.
Just another 'relative fairness' which isn't fair at all to certain clubs.
