Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
This should be in the changes to next week, but I wanted to reply here because I have been wondering about M Wood since he was recruited.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Tue 12 Apr 2022 10:50pm
Paddy is a big loss, but the mids will need to win the ball or turn it over anyway.
Play Hayes and Higgins, expose Witts around the ground and lets see if they can out run and outscore us.
They will struggle to stop our forward line.
I'd rest Wood, take the leash of Hayes and King to lead right up the ground and isolate Marshall and Higgins. They will drop one back, maybe 2.
I’m starting to warm to him. We tried introducing a tall and agile utility type with Jonathon Marsh and he never quite settled into the team. Wood seems super fit and he’s working his butt off. His disposal is improving with each match I see him and he is definitely a step up on Marsh. He’s dangerous to opposition teams when he goes forward, but he’s been very good defensively as well.
I think Mason is earning his keep at the moment and I wouldn’t drop him. We seem to have quite a few lefties in the team and this probably shouldn’t be brought up here…maybe it’s a strength of ours that other teams haven’t worked out…Seb, DMac, Cal Wilkie, Jimmy Webster and Mason Wood are all left footers.
Just back on topic: Not sure if the Paddy suspension is a blessing in disguise and we won’t know until later in the year, but the games he’ll be missing will be both off 6 day breaks. Maybe…just maybe…it’ll be to the teams benefit that Paddy’s work load has been reduced and he’ll be cherry ripe come September

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
Well it is good to know that Newtons 2nd law of physics is no longer true and that the AFL MRP obviously know better.
I was always taught the Force = mass x acceleration .... from what I can see Paddy was stationary so how in the hell can he generate force ?????
Dead set joke.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
I'm surprised that Ryder's defence wasn't built around the fact that Day suddenly changed direction after kicking the ball.
If Day didn't suddenly change direction, Ryder would have caught him side on - instead Day inexplicably turned his body (swivelled left) and made it a front-on collision.
Were we allowed to plead this defence, or did the AFL MRP take this (defence) away from us?
That was and should have been the crux of the matter - I don't get it.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
I dont’t agree with the new interpretation of what constitutes a fair bump, but now I can’t wait for Hawkins or some other star from a “big club” to become victim of it.
I’m sure a lot of fans will make sure that not one instance is missed and make enough noise that it is prosecuted to the full extent.
If it is good enough to make an example of an icon of the game in Paddy, it should be good enough from any player from any club.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
I wonder what the Hunter Clark broken jaw verdict would have been under the new concussion interpretation?
Seems benefit of the doubt is out the window.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
Hi all I apologise for my rant last night but I'm just fed up with us being the AFL's whipping boy . I prepared to move on & hope our boys take this decision as a motivational tool & do it for Paddy.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
Yep, I agree. do it for Paddy saints.
A cautionary note though. When all the tipsters are unanimous in picking us, we usually lose.
So heads up boys and be f****** careful not to just presume you are going to win.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
Seems you can get away with a lot so long as there is no concussion. I’m still fuming over that decision. Ryder was absolutely crucified purely for standing his ground.bangaulegend wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022 9:54pmYeah mate just a f--king joke 1 rule for us and another for the rest of the competition just so fu--ing typical of the AFL judicial system .Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022 9:24pm Meanwhile Lewis Young gets ZERO weeks for this:

Maybe Marshall wouldn’t have got injured and played on Saturday night.
I understand that the outcome was different but the system is still a total joke.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
This
However
Maybe at some stage we can stop being the TEST CASE!!!
St Kilda should ask for a please explain from the AFL - you know - for education purposes.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
hang on - it should not have even been a free kick. Shepherding a chasing opponent is permitted, if we end up adjudicating that any forceful action is unduly rough then the game is irrevocably changed. That he got off simply reflects the fact that the ump's decision was wrong. Are we surprised that some umpires are not up to the job?
the invisible and the non existent look very much alike

Young should have got zero weeks from the outset .... didn't get Zurhaar in the head
AFL going with the forceful front on contact says that they are trying to eliminate a legal BUMP

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
Will be interesting this week to see whether Cripps’ tackle on Lachlan Murphy goes unremarked.
Bloke was subbed out with a head/neck injury. Does the outcome make it a dangerous tackle?
In Paddy’s case, it was all about the outcome.
I don’t want to see good players rubbed out for fair play, but if there is no action on this the club should ask the league for clarification of the rules in the light of what happened to Ryder.

They don’t care so long as the victim doesn’t get subbed out with concussion
