Swans v Giants Elimination Final 2021

[Agent 86]

So it's up to the umpire to move to avoid contact? Mmm...I think not. No force....I don't think that matters does it? Added to that the fact that he didn't 'deviate from his line' means it was intentional contact. It would set a dangerous precedent for him not to be suspended.

Frankly, I don’t give a rats if he gets suspended or not. I do hope GWS beat the cats, tho’. With or without the little @@@@@@.

I just watched the last quarter again. As a team, we failed badly. GWs were shot. We were 10.7 with 15 minutes to go, and finished 10.13. 5 behinds in 15 minutes!

Yeah.We know.

Doesn’t matter what happens to Toby .
It’ll be a

Doubt that. Contracted until 2023 I think.

Gould is out of contract this year, but doubt very much that he will be delisted. Tom Harley spoke favourably about him in a recent interview, may it was on SEN. He also backed in Stephens, but didn't say he would be re-signed.

[goswannies]

Bumping the umpire was a disgraceful act.

I do want to pose a question however for all those talking about Greene being a thug.

What is the difference in how Barry Hall and Toby Greene played the game?

Because Toby Green commits dirty acts like this

Yep. 1st v 2nd in the Grand Final. And Melbourne to win.

The thing that irks me is when people say bring on 2022.... fact is we had a chace in 2021 to go deep and who knows maybe pinch one.... no guarentees on 2022, chances are rare, need to take them...

I get what you're saying but some would call that moping....look forward, not back. I'd prefer to move on and enjoy the off season and the hope....no, promise of more chances to come.

[stevoswan]

Correct. And given by the umpire that he intimidated at 3Q time.

Yeah, that just revealed Stevic's true mission in footy...that being 'screw the Swans for recruiting Buddy'.

[Bexl]

Yeah.We know.

well at least a few things are giving me a laugh.

[stevoswan]

I reckon losing this week rather than next week will open the eyes of the selectors. If we would have gone into next week , some of our deficiencies would have been glossed over.
We lack the same players we have been talking over the last year.
Inside mid and tall back
We were always going to lose this one after losing three good players before thr bounce and as a result losing all structure.

I agree we need a decent KPD but those three outs pretty much cover for the players 'we lack'.....so rather than deficiencies, we had injuries. Our luck ran out on that score and we played poorly for half the game. Today's line up would have won had we played well for four quarters.

Apparently theres someone else so good we had to give games to instead

FFS, stop it....please!

Toby will get a week, then lawyers involved to get it a fine.
He didn't deviate from his line and there was no force.

Um, what? Isn't that the problem? He saw an umpire standing in front of him and chose to walk through him rather than show the appropriate respect by deviating from his path? The fact that he didn't deviate magnifies the offence rather than diminishing it.

[Velour&Ruffles]

Luke Hodge defending Toby Greene reminds me he committed one of the worst acts I’d seen on a footy field - when he tried to break Chad Wingard’s neck. So lucky for Wingard he didn’t, and Hodges legacy would be very different if he had.

Hodge was an absolutely filthy sniper of the worst kind. I don't pay heed to anything he says.

Toby Greene:
"It was just in the moment and I certainly would never touch him."

Leon Cameron:
“Clearly it's a talking point but all I know is it wouldn't have been intentional."

We really are living in a golden age of bull@@@@.

It's incredible isn't it how basically lying is seemingly accepted as 'fair cop' these days. Carl Sagen once said that the world will one day celebrate ignorance....that time has well and truly arrived.

No we must listen to the oracle as he is just about the only one ( well he does have that one offsider ) that truly understands the nuances of the game. The rest of us should really give up trying to explain what we see and think as it is pointless when compared to the superior insights offered by this pundit.
We are lucky that he chose here on RWO just a short 18 months ago as the place where he would share his wisdom.

[stevoswan]

Heard Gould does not have the engine to play out a full game. His endurance levels will need some work in the off season.

Yeah, a third pre-season should do it!
