A.F.L. Thread II

[benchmark00]

Its funny, but truth is normal service wouldn't have us getting 5 goals ahead of a top 4 contender at home.

Still, ridiculous collapse from Richmond. Terribly disappointing.

Porps third quarter was amazing, and Tippett had a strong second half.

Honestly Taylor Walker is one of the biggest scum bags in the game. Week after week he proves he is an out and out dog. Good player obviously, but he's not tough in the Beau Waters mould. He's tough in the cheap shot prick mode.

So the Jake King mould?

Congrats to Benchy and SKD. Huge win for North today. Great game of footy.

Bet the Saints fans wish they had Lyon's defensive side of the game back now.

I think walker is suffering a bit from overcompensation. He was constantly dropped and criticized in the paper for being useless once the ball was out of his hands. In his 4 years in SANFL he has always been a ball player and good enough to be lazy and kick 5+ a week and not put on defensive pressure. He needs to tone it down.

Needs a mentor made of the same stuff as this guy:

They use the same barber which is a good start.

Looking angry and dropping the ball. The Weidermann special.

Great call. Been very good this year. Pretty much the barometer of your team. If he's playing well you're winning games.

Weeeeeeeeed!

Be interesting to see what Walker gets. What would he get if he were playing rugby league and did the same thing?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I expect Adelaide will take the 3 on Walker. Actually moderately harsh IMO given that it didn't cause any kind of injury, would have thought 1-2, but poor record hurts a lot in this case of course.

 

[Jono]

Morris got scans on his neck Faaip.

 

[benchmark00]

No idea how you can say it's harsh. Picked a bloke up, put him into a helpless position, Walker had the duty of care, then just dumped him hard on or near his head.

 

[Jono]

Lol at Van Berlo saying the players are confused and Sanderson coming out and saying for the good of the game he should be let off (said it before the MRP verdict).

Ridiculous. Pretty sure its quite clear that you can't piledrive a bloke.

Two awesome countries to visit either way.

It happens incredibly quickly though, and he landed on his shoulder. I just think three weeks is absolutely huge.
