    No. What about good sportmanship and playing the ball not the man.

    We need more aggression in Sydney and should try to sign up Michel and Scott.

    Michael and Scott are loathesome scum and deserve to be rubbed out (legally of course).

    I'm still somewhere between 'fair game' and 'what about sportsmanship', although I voted for the latter.

    It's something that I would shake my head at but accept if it happened to a Swan... but it's something I would hate to see the Swans themselves do.
    We hate Anthony Rocca
    We hate Shannon Grant too
    We hate scumbag Gaspar
    But Leo WE LOVE YOU!

      Fair Game, if he is not getting off the ground quickly.

        One of the players (Mal or Scott) were bumping his arm deliberately to 'test' it. What stupidity. I would love to know the charges they face. It was sad and all but now I'm just going to drop it.

            Come again? I read in the paper on Saturday on the way to work saying that they'd face charges. Why no charges? It's a pretty big thing when less happens and a visit to the Tribunal is always ahead of them.

                    Like Dunkley never did it to Carey when he had that heavily strapped shoulder? Like Matthews didn't towel up Chance at least three times this weekend after a high hit? Like Maxfield didn't smash Bowden last year and cause a ball spillage?

                    No player is 100% at any time. And if people dont think they get niggled and worked over as a result its just because they dont see it. Osbourne got two weeks up-front for rough-play on Schneids, but I cant remember the incident.

                    The whole thing has been blown way out of proportion, and its time to let go. It was a fair knock considering no-one knew that it was a broken collarbone, and the fact that the players and coaches of both sides, as well as the match review committe, agree should put it all to rest.

                    Truth is, I think we've all been taken on a big ride by Eddie thanks to his passionate hatred of Brisbane
