If a guy deliberately ducks in a tackle and gets taken high why isn't it just holding the ball?
It's like they're being encouraged to duck when they get rewarded for it.

An interesting one for me ...

- AFL supposedly wants to prevent head high contact for "litigation" purposes and suspends players for causing it ...
- However, when a player deliberately plays for a free kick by placing themselves in danger ... crickets ...

Well said Tails it's a real double standard, maybe the offending player should be reported for putting their own head in danger? LOL Imagine that.

Hawks only outside of the 8 on percentage. :love:

Yeah, I know that likely won't be the case after they have their bye, or probably even by the end of the round, but I'll enjoy it while I can.

Yep, another great win!!

The crowd is getting restless and not liking the thought of more Hawks success, cracking into our legendary small fwds at the moment ;):sneaky:

D'Ambrosio one of the few bright sparks for my team in recent weeks. Averaging around 102 the past 5 games with roughly $125k increase in value. Really don't want to be trading him next round but I may have no choice with my playing numbers being so low!

Grundy VC, Heeney, Gulden, Dowling and... Rankine (!) in this for me.

Couldn't see who to trade him out to and had other problems to deal with so just held for the 3 weeks. See how that goes, it hasn't worked with Rozee so far :confused:
