A wise man once said objectivity is boring.

I thought he ran off the square and cleaned him up when he couldve tackled. Pre meditated snipe and he's got form. Fair enough if that's the intent you cop your whack and move on. But you'd have to be blind to miss a guy flying across the ground and laying out one of your All Australians.
I expect the fact he is pretty damn tough made it seem less than it was.
I'm surprised with the one week, it may get upgraded. Oh but he wasn't apparently injured ; aha I remember the rules now :cool:
Yes I'm still annoyed ! Bloody aints.
Long has failed in his challenge and will miss Friday. What a dickhead.
Long appeal failed too.
He had the stink of a dickhead going into those contests early, a bit like his reckless dickhead uncle did in 2000. Deserves his break.
I watched with my brother and just before the bounce he asked me 'do you think Long will line anyone up?' and I said 'nah, you'd hope not, given our history and the fact we gave him his shot at Footscray'.
Lol.
It was a cheap shot fully deserving of a suspension (lucky to only get 1 week) but I don't mind the fact that St Kilda chose to 'shop early' in their first final for 9 years. I wished we showed the same physical commitment to make the opposition feel like they were in a cut-throat final.
