What bizarre thing to say

In fact all day after that we were livid at Umpire 21. So point 1 I’m not talking out of my arse.
Fair enough, I did say
if. But why were you livid on the day but now think it is all X Clarkes fault?
A day later the hit wa still at least 10 metres from the ball and umpire 21 had still consoled West and did nothing to stopt the game.

Yes it was emotive. I dont like seeing coward acts. I dont like seeing unprotected players poleaxed and an umpire 5 metres away do SFA about it.
Wow I must be an hysteric.

Yes you are correct. I came from NSW, but i played for one of the oldest Aussie Rules clubs in the country - Sydney University (founded 1878 I think). Played for three season in my early twenties.
I had to learn about peripheral vision pretty quick after playing confrontational football like Union. I learnt that in Aussies Rules you can be hit from all sides.
So get your facts right.

I said opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one.
So before you attempt to win the argument with vieled threats of physical violence - read what I say before you go off half cocked

lol - yeah righto. I was wrong. West's action was oe of the bravest, most courageous thing ever done on a football field. Happy now

No you were not wrong on the Gia hit, that was an accidental head clash withing 5 metres of the ball, really really bad luck. Same with Whelans hit on Ball, accidental clash of heads.
You are deadsey completely and utterly wrong on this one however, but I better retract before there is another vieled threat of beating me up again
