Jay Schultz is going to get weeks because of the outcome of a tackle that wasn't a sling tackle.

[Remi Moses]

Oh Joy .
One million Bryce Gibbs references

[westdog54]

Jay Schultz is going to get weeks because of the outcome of a tackle that wasn't a sling tackle.

Still picked him up in the tackle. Lifted him of his feet, slung him and his head hit the ground. He's gone.

[Remi Moses]

Well that's season over for Port.
Two down on the pine, and typical of Sydney they find a way.
Josh Kennedy prolific.
Port are playing on their own terms, and their ball movement has been stymied.
Can no longer find the corridor either.
Big lesson for our club ,in that it doesn't just happen automatically

Was at the SCG tonight. Port's disposal by hand and foot was truly hideous. They could have won that.

For the Swans, Sam Reid was surprisingly good. Kennedy, Parker and Hannebury excellent.

Port were very disappointing, buggered if I know what has happened to them.

[SonofScray]

The Gibbs penalty has set the tone now. If you perform a skill of the game, and the opposition is injured as a result of it, you're gone. Its a bullshit standard to have, but one that so many of us are prepared to accept because of the "head is sacrosanct" campaign.

Here's the thing though. I've never regarded picking up a player in the tackle as a "Skill of the game". I'll say it again and again. Libba is the historical benchmark when it comes to tackling and he never, ever had to pick up a player in this manner to get the job done.

The primary aim of a tackle should NEVER be to injure the player, but to win a free kick for your team. That is done by not allowing a player to dispose of the football, and you don't need to sling him into the ground to do it.

[comrade]

I've heard that the Gibbs one was a perfect tackle and what all kids are taught.

Pretty easy way to look at it: if the Gibbs/Schulz tackle is an example of a perfect tackle and a skill of the game, would we be happy every week to see players get knocked out as a result?

No, we wouldn't. Therefore, it's not a perfect example of a skill of the game.

[Murphy'sLore]

Surely the Adelaide/Geelong game will have to be cancelled now. What happens next? Is there any precedent for this kind of situation?

[comrade]

Surely the Adelaide/Geelong game will have to be cancelled now. What happens next? Is there any precedent for this kind of situation?

Pretty much unprecedented in elite sport in this country.

I guess you can look at the Phil Hughes tragedy. The Test match wasn't cancelled but postponed by a week. I think we could see this match pushed back until later in the year - perhaps a midweek fixture.

The horrible irony is that this match is vital to both teams finals chances, though that will be furtherest from Crows minds right now.

Very difficult with the overall schedule. In past seasons they have had a round spread over 2 weekends, which might have made it easier, but that is not there this year.

It would seem unlikely that they would defer the finals by a week, so if they don't play it may just need to be treated as an official draw with 2 points awarded to each team.

[Ozza]

I don't see where they could schedule the game later in the year.
My first thought was match abandoned, split the points.

I can see it happening this way. Whilst Adelaide players might want to play in Walsh's memory, I don't see that as being all that fair given the high stakes of the game.

2 Premiership Points each, 100 points to each in the F/A column for percentage purposes. A halfway poing might be to play the match but as an exhibition game, not for premiership points.

[comrade]

On local radio in Ballarat, Dan Lonergan is a pushing for the round to be cancelled.

Can't see the networks accepting that.

[Ozza]

There isn't a right answer for it really. For every 'we should cancel the round' opinion, there will be a 'he would have wanted the game to go on' (G.Cornes already this morning)...neither is right or wrong - but I hope there isn't hysteria about the decision either way.

[Bulldog4life]

Whether right or wrong I feel the match the will go on.

[soupman]

Surely the round will continue, with the possible exception of the Geelong Adelaide clash.

Can't see the AFL/networks/grounds/sponsors (pretty anyone with a financial interest in the sport) being happy with 8 games getting cancelled.

[boydogs]

Make Geelong v Adelaide a draw IMO

[comrade]

Sunday's game called off, points split.

Rest of the games to be played.

[Twodogs]

Sunday's game called off, points split.

Fairly sound decision making from the AFL, for a change. Credit to Geelong for accepting it as well.

[bornadog]

Can't see the networks accepting that.

Peter Gordon said this morning if the Swans and Port game wasn't on last night then the round should have been cancelled.

What has transpired is the right decision.

[LostDoggy]

Fairly sound decision making from the AFL, for a change. Credit to Geelong for accepting it as well.
Geelong would have been hard-pressed to play too. I mean, who'd want to beat a team in those circumstances?

[comrade]

Back to the footy...

Lake is getting absolutely torched tonight. Some of the worst work I've seen from him. Getting out bodied, out jumped.

Perhaps another year would be one too far.

[azabob]

Even with Collingwood's millions of $$ they cant buy a goal in the 3rd.

Agree Lakey can't seem to get off the ground now

[1eyedog]

If I hear remarkable player or brilliant player about a Collingwood player one more time tonight I'll spew up.

[1eyedog]

Well that was pretty cool...

[bulldogtragic]

Well that was pretty cool...

I hope we do the same.

[Remi Moses]

Collingwood blew that game .
Jesse White's costly miss for the second week, and Cloke still gets the yips.
Rioli's desperation in the middle nearly sent Bruce into orgasim.
Hawthorn's senior blokes were pivotal in the last 10 minutes.
Classy end

[Maddog37]

Does Bwian look heavy again?

[Bulldog Joe]

Thought Brian Lake was very ordinary in qtr 2 and 3 but he did some good stuff in qtr 4.

Hawks usage of the ball was below standard a few times.

Excellent effort by all concerned coming together after the game for their own moment of respectful silence.

[westdog54]

About right.

We had this talk, didn't we?

Logistically, there was just no other way that was fair to both teams.

[westdog54]

I hope we do the same.

I wonder if each pair of teams will do something slightly different.

Bar set very high though. One of the greatest things I've seen on a football field.

The Pies are developing a very good team. Need a good KP forward to replace White.

And it looks like Buckley can coach...

I can think of another team that seems to have benefited from moving on senior players.

[Bulldog4life]

Cameron copying Bevo with Boyd and playing Griffin off half back with success

[Flamethrower]

Giants were robbed in the last quarter. Tigers got some lucky free kicks, and then Miles gets caught, spun around twice & drops the ball only for the umpire to call play on - ball spills to Richmond who then kick match sealing goal through Edwards.

GWS have a relatively easy run home and could still yet challenge for a finals berth.

I watched the last ten minutes and couldn't believe GWS not getting the free, especially after Heath was pinged for 1 second and they got the free. The round the neck in the goal square was probably there, but yeah GWS very unlucky.

[bornadog]

Big loss coming up for North the pretenders

[GVGjr]

Huge turnaround from the Suns

[bulldogtragic]

North just being North. How do the media keep hyping them or picking them to finish top 4? This team is far too fragile to achieve anything of note.

Anyone catch Toby Greene's latest dog act?

Spitting in the direction of a Richmond player.

I'm not a fighter as a rule, but would love to see someone take him out.

He is an absolute grub. Would love to see him and his ilk out of the game. By whatever means.

James Hird's coaching career may have only a few more hours in it, judging by this.

[Remi Moses]

#standbyhird
I'm sure his media adviser at news limited will go into bat for him

[Twodogs]

We did, we were way ahead of the AFL. Well you were actually, I was saying the game had to be deferred.

[Greystache]

His boom recruit Cooney has just been subbed 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter... and cracked the shits. Maybe they'll be at Centrelink together next year.

[bulldogtragic]

Oh boy wow wee. #standdownhird

[Bulldog4life]

Let's go for a 100 point win for Jimmy

[Remi Moses]

Oh dear !
Someone's been hit by the karma bus

[Webby]

One more goal will bring the biggest EVER defeat by the Aints for the Bombers...

They've only been playing each other for 140 odd years!

Paul Little's a ruthless man who has been waiting for a opening to move on Hird. Tonight's the night, I think..

[macca]

The essendon players body language looks terrible. Could be good opportunity to raid a few players this year in the draft who want to leave. Jobe Watson looks exhausted mentally. A few more 100pts thrashing, saints finished wooden spoon last year. 110 points up 2 mins to go. Steinberg on list 4 years 5 games , nominate him eker territory.

[jeemak]

They are close to turning the corner because the players love and support Hird.

[westdog54]

Ouch. That's a train wreck.

BT is onto something here: #standdownhird

[Greystache]

Please do

No really, please do Essendon!

[comrade]

Same team we kept to 7 goals last week.

Our defensive zone is standing up well but wish we could hit up targets in the 50 like the saints. Though, I guess it's not hard to hit targets when you're up against a witches hat.

[Remi Moses]

What a surprise That Lloydy has backed Hirdy .
He apparently has the support of the players
Looking forward to Mark Robinson's support, and calling everyone " Hird Haters"

[Dancin' Douggy]

[ledge]

Please don't sack him until after we play them.

[LostDoggy]

If I won the $10 million Powerball I'd pay Hirds contract to see him stay as long as possible.

[Sedat]

Anyone out there questioning whether or not Hird can coach, didn't you see his patented "move Cale Hooker forward" move?

It's so much fun seeing the emperor with no clothes on, now that Bomber Thompson is no longer there pulling all the coaching strings. Really hope that we can enjoy the train wreck for another 18 months at least.

With two names on it. He also has a phone with no reception and a netbook with no internet access.

[Roscoe_G]

Wow! Our visitor on here will not be happy.

Mr Moses,

Indeed I was suitably unimpressed! What a debacle!!! An utterly disgraceful display from a team that really belongs in the bottom quartile. With Brad Scott no doubt imminently returning to the fold, it can only get worse. We may actually not have not hit our nadir.

Do North have a similar site?

[Remi Moses]

Real worry is North's age demographic .
Reminds me of where the Dogs were after 2011.
Mind you losing Ward and Harbrow exhasabated ( spell check no love) the situation

What about this nonsense Robinson keeps churning out about everyone " hating Hird ", and just waiting for him to fail.
The facts are he recruited for a top 4 tilt, and he's failed miserably with his team being embarrassed!
So naturally the footy spotlight goes on the bloke who leads the club .
But then again Hird does like to runaway from responsibility !!

One issue at North is at the selection table. Scott is very reluctant to drop players with a reputation and bring in some young players.

Bevo is not afraid to send players back to the VFL no matter what they have done in the past.

Finally a good decision from the MRP re: Shulz. A shame it comes a week after the Gibbs decision, who I feel has every right to be confused.

[LostDoggy]

But what about Shaun Higgins? Had a pretty good preseason, gotta be happy with his output??

Scott is a coach who can ill afford to get those players with a reputation offside. I always expect the gutting of senior players when a coach first arrives as its bloody hard to do after the first season or two.

[Twodogs]

Surely you jest?

Nope. Deadset, ridgey didge. It was between 11-12 with KB and Martin Flanigan. I nearly drive my car off the road laughing.

I had to jump out of the car and head into a meeting but thought he was saying they've really fluffed it by putting all their eggs in one basket. Suggested that Essendon and North had really fluffed it. It was either Plough with KB, or on the morning show with whoever is filling in for them.

Plough definitely said that they should top up while Boomer Harvey and a few others (Can't remember who) are still playing. I think his point was they are gonna fall hard anyway when the time comes to rebuild so they may as well give it a really big shake next year.

Shaun Higgins - in the inimitable words of a certain Kevin Sheedy - would be the "pink marshmallow?"

Thanks Twodogs. I can only surmise that the Grinter hit is still taking its toll. Given the inanity of the suggestion, TW is probably now a walk up start to the coaching gig.

It hadn't occurred to me that Plough might be hunting the North coaching gig but knowing him he'd be ready to step into the breach. I remember that Grinter hit. It broke Terry's Jaw in a few places but he was back in the middle of the ground the next time the umpire bounced the bal.

Gold! Shaun can tear up good to ordinary opposition, but against the heavy hitters he let's you down.
Wondering what on earth happened to Aaron Black?

[Remi Moses]

Nope. Deadset, ridgey didge. It was between 11-12 with KB and Martin Flanigan. I nearly drive my car off the road laughing.
Was it with Martin Blake? Usually don't mind Terry's contributions now, but that's bizarre.
It will be interesting what turn they take now. I heard Robinson say that Essendon will be trotting out the " rebuild" shortly.
It's actually enjoyable watching the young players come through, and the no fear confident attitude.
North have a couple of flags in the cabinet that weren't in the horse and carriage era .The issue is that membership of us small clubs gets smashed .

North seem to play either BBrown or Daw ahead of him.
It would be worth asking the question - Black can play a mobile lead up role and could well be that tall(ish) player we're looking for to complement Toyd.

Great call Remi regarding membership and small clubs. Most serious North fans that I know have actually given up hope. I would not be depending on them emptying their pockets to watch this current lot.

Brayshaw can go too .... perhaps Eugene Arocca had it spot on a few years back. The article below and its critique of North's performances on and off field could have been written today, sans Arocca. The fact it was written in 2012 says it all really.
