dal flying the flag

[bigcarl]

just watching the replay and it was good to see dal santo take issue with mal michael after he blatantly whacked riewoldt over the back of the head in a marking contest.

michael came off second best, too.

dal is too smart to throw a punch but he certainly let michael know what he thought. should be more of it

[Spinner]

Yep.

Mal is a dog...Absolute Dog.

Its disappointing time and time again, that only Baker and Hayes fly the flag to protect their team mates.

milney attempted to but got shot down by ox
If koz was out there he would have let him have it.
lets not forget there's a bit of history between the saints and mal michael.. roo and michael in particular..we had every right to give it to him.

i know, but you don't want him reported.

need someone like rix to make himself useful and really fix the bloke up in cases like that

[Huzzad]

Yep.

I think big Frase has had everyone's backs. Watching the odd melee over the years, Frase is usually first in the fray, and I remember one year he ran from FF to the backline just for some argy bargy after an aweful strike on one of our players.

gone for it a few times as well. that's where you need a lesser light to make a name for himself.

... only in retaliation and to show that we won't tolerate it. we could have a designated "hitter" as it were

[Armoooo]

Now was it my imagination or did I see Michael throw a definite punch that connected with Dal's chin?

i thought i saw something like that, too. let's hope the MRP is on the ball

[vacuous space]

Dal has been in some excellent form over the preseason. Lets hope he carries it through to round one, because Sydney has been a bit of a bogey team for him.

[bigcarl]

he's becoming the match-winning champion i always thought he would be.

just watching him out there on friday night he oozed leadership and is obviously highly-respected among the players.

has anyone else noticed how he's started kicking important goals at key moments, the sign of a star coming into his prime as a footballer.

the first time i saw it was against west coast in harvs' 350ths game last year when he kicked the sealer with minutes to go.

i predict this will become a feature of his game from now on.

At first glance I thought the same so I rewinded to have a second look (I'm from Syd and the game was on at 1 in the morn so I taped it) Michael was lashing out to knock away Milne'a arms but Milne had pulled away just beforehand which made it look like Michael was trying to hit Dal. Nothing in it. Unfortunately........

Nah, it would probably be in our interest for incidents stemming from the match to not be looked at too closely.

Yep. Made a similar call about Dal maturing half way through last year.

Lyon is resting him and sometimes even starting him off the half forward flank, and this is also allowing Dal a few more shots on goal.

[Zed]

he took a nice overhead mark under pressure from a few players - I think it was start of last quarter ..thought to myself - geez he looked like he had no fear.

I'll be be putting a few quiet dollars on him for the brownlow

[bigcarl]

i might do the same. he is already a proven vote-winner and barring injury will poll well again. he's entering his prime as a football and should be playing in a team that finishes top 4 at least.

wonder what odds you'd get?

Interesting point about the MRP I'm hoping something I saw was in my imagination too!!

i saw the incident was sitting quite close on the wing and it was a good hit from lenny, nothing it though, if the mrp find something wrong with that i will be very surprised, then again we were the victims of the terrible baker decision.

[bigcarl]

in that case let's hope the MRP has a look at the mal michael incident

[F_Q_F]

No reports for Michael or Hayes, but Alwyn Davey got reported for tripping Nick Dal Santo.
