Essendon* cheated, simple as that

Question:

Should Cory Enright be cited for causing Warnock's concussion?

Reckless or negligent head high contact?

I have to confess that I felt sick in the stomach when I heard this on ABC radio today. And I regret having such an angry whack at him last night straight after the game. I hereby promise never to post a negative comment when I am angry - cardinal rule is to hold off putting anything to paper in the heat of the moment. I am sorry I didn't apply this rule last night - but I still think he should have kicked it.

For what it is worth in the cold light of day - my overall view is that we really are premiership contenders and like Gerard Whateley (ABC) we will only get better as the season progresses. And when we get kruz, hendo and curnow to name but three - No.17 is ours.

The boys are hard and committed and play for the team (though didn't like duigan bawling out armfield over the hawkins goal on half-time cos duigan was closer.)

Just need experience.

And to those who had a go at "tasmanians" - especially lonni blue - chewy on your boot!. But i still love youse cos we all love the blues.

At the moment Carlton needs Gibbs to be 1 of 22 good players week in week out. It would obviously be nice if he is Judd Mark II but he isn't.

If every Carlton supporter knew each week that the oppositions best player would be well held by Gibbs and he would still set us up off HB then they would gratefully except it. If we can get someone else good enough to take that role and free Gibbs up then it would be a huge bonus but we don't have anyone at this staged.

Bang on all you like about him not being elite but anyone who can subdue a fit Goodes, Goddard and Steve J is going okay in my book. Those 3 roles alone certainly helped CFC win 2 of 3 games and it should have been 3 from 3.

Well said BB.
Yes we all say things in the heat of the moment which we later see was a tad excessive.
By the way my reference to Tasmanians was just a bit of the old North/South rivalry which you would of course be aware of down there. Thats where the "Lonny" part of my usename comes from. I might be wrong but I think Verbsy may also have lived in the North as well.
Having all sorts of trouble getting this gum off my boot any suggestions?

We do have a few in TalkingAFL, but go nuts in this thread.

Bravo, Blue Beatle. Many never apologise for irrational bad internet behaviour. Good on ya for doing so. It puts you up many levels in my estimation.

And by the way, I would never have a go at you for being a weak-as-p155 map of tasmania........

Essendon* cheated, simple as that

Yes Judd would have been on the line punching it through

Pretty sure that similar incidents have been looked at before, but the senior Cats are almost untouchable when it comes to the MRP.

Where else can you puch someone with enough force to send them to hosipital for an extended stay and have the MRP say that is OK. His hands must have been a good 3 feet above his face. That was a reckless challenge and I would at least like to see Enright answer for rampant negligence.

What really annoys me though is when you hear the ball being bounced whilst being shown yet
another picture of the coaches watching the game.

Only slightly less annoying than the VFL telecast (on channel 2) where we missed the play in order to receive lingering footage of the Werribee doctor! On two occasions!

Yes, add me to the complaints, Ch 7 really need to smarten up. I couldn't care less if i never see another shot of a coach in the box. Maybe the director who switches camera shots is in love with em.
