St Kilda runner in strife

Looks like he may get a fine for deliberately bumping a bulldogs player

He's been giving away 50's all year and now does this. I hope he pulls his head in

I think our runner suffers from white line fever, similar to some of the players.

We can't afford another Runner stuff up in THIS match!

I'll field this one...

The runners actually have to use the interchange gates like the players do.

The St.Kilda runner was just using his "Natural Arc" to move towards the interchange gate to leave the field.

The bulldogs player was "unexpectedly" in the way....

TW makes me nervous....

He just seems to have no awareness.

Nah. If I'd been running off at the same time as Picken, who was gobbing off and niggling at Goddard the way he was I would have also bumped him. In a way that would have made him stay bumped! (overestimating my bumping abilities I know but you get my drift)

yeah, it was right in front of us, and that's almost exactly what he did. looked pretty funny, and was definitely deliberate because he was facing towards him and mouthing off beforehand. just didn't hit him hard enough.

If this is the same bloke who is on the field and costs us goals time for him to retire I think.

I think you will find that Walsh has only given away one free this year to Danny Ryan's 3. Still time left for both though.

Just have to make sure there's no infringements by the Runner on Saturday.

And none by the Interchange folk.

And that none of the players infringe on the Pie players "natural arcs".

In short - NO GIFTS TO THE OPPOSITION.

We don't want an avoidable mistake to be the difference at the final siren.

Unless of course it's a Collingwodd mistake

Actually more embarassing for the Bulldogs player because the runner's bump almost knocked him over.

Saw it on the telecast, instant reaction was 'wtf is he doing'. Very odd indeed.

I don't mind the old guy, cops a lot when he has to tell Roo to come off...
