Not enough being said about Henderson kicking directly to the opposition on 3 occassions resulting in 2.1 to Hawthorns score.

Plus the game winner for Essendon* last week.

As I see it, Hendersons turnovers have now lost two games. Which is a shame because he does so many other good things.

This is getting ridiculous.

Luke Hodge bump on Marc Murphy in the spirit of the game

WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????
I was at the came so didn't see that rubbish....only confirms what I was saying on the last page.
Thanks Bondi for backing it up....
Sorry so sound like a " conspiracy theorist " but there was something weird going on last night (and a few other games)
just saw the MM presser....he knew too.

Gerriatric.....we couldn't get into the game in the second half...really?... We opened with a goal, no possession from the hawks meant the umps couldn't blow the whistle....any contest and the whistle would go against us....simple.
Caz couldn't take a mark in the second half...have a look at how often he was shepherded out long before the ball got there....watching on telly doesn't REALLY show whets happening.
Two marks ..Walks and Garlett last quarter. ...punched arms and head missed ball...play on....yes, we didn't look like getting a goal in the second half....btw Garlett's was front on contact also...

As I said before....it was SUS from the first bounce....just seemed to get worse second half. Ump nearly twisted a testicle running in to get a review when it looked like a point would be awarded?..and the footage was soooo conclusive.

Wake up AFL.... Looks like the Morans are guiding the umps and not the Geesh

Ah i get mixed up because my middle name is actually spelt the wrong way. My dad was an idiot.

I've looked at his kick against Essendon* a dozen times. It's a tough one to analyse, but I give him the benefit of the doubt. I reckon Yarran was pathetic in that contest and 8 out of 10 players would have marked that in Yarran's position.

Are you of Irish background? Pretty sure the traditional Irish spelling is Micheal.

This is getting ridiculous.

Luke Hodge bump on Marc Murphy in the spirit of the game

I don't think so Vet. I made this point earlier and now someone who actually knows something about the game has said the same thing.

And former Adelaide strongman Mark Ricciuto concurred, even questioning Murphy's "bad technique" in physical clashes.
"He had his head hanging out (when) you need to get more side-on, exactly what Hodge did," Ricciuto said.

My point is that the next time it happens I want Murphy to be the one causing the damage.

Hodges intent was to injure pure and simple.

and Hird can’t wait for the truth to come out.

FMD you guys freak me out some times.

Hodges intent was to injure pure and simple.
He knew the ascendency needed to be addressed and as a good leader took the initiative.
He didn’t even try and pick up the ball, quite evident in his body position.
A good player knows when what to do and when to do it, that’s why he is a captain and a leader of a top four side.

Strange game though. Our captain had a choice to pick up the ball and have his jaw broken or pull back and be questioned for the rest of his life. He went for the pickup the ball/ broken jaw option and he is the one getting bagged in the media while the other dudes option was to clean up the opposition captain and break his jaw or try and contest the ball in a non reckless way and he is the king in the media.

What the #$%& are we doing following this game !
