Round 10: the other games. Festival of the Boot (part 2).

Yep, both free kicks were definitely there. Perhaps Papley's thinking was along the lines of 'My word, Eleni sure has missed a lot of frees for us today. Better make sure she sees this one.'

I was thinking the exact same thing. We weren't receiving many frees so when he felt the push he exaggerated the impact.

Cal copped a fair whack, it was definitely a free kick.

Both Papley and Ward were free kicks for me.

Papley also copped a $500 fine but nothing for Ward. Assume the thought process was that Papley had already had a warning about this behaviour from Clarkson, Ward had not been cautioned before his performance.

But the thing is there was no staging in the incident in the Hawthorn game. Clarkson was wrong and it's frustrating that his comments have led to Papley being fined.

.....and as far as we know, Tom received no death threats and that was probably only because we lost. So, the AFL didn't want to add to poor Cal's misery after the supposed death threats? Weak IMO....

Supposed? . Really?

Nik Nat's tap work is sublime.....I agree, he is definitely up there with Polly in that regard.????

When fit he is just completely dominant. He is fun to watch.
