Sandy v Casey

[saintbob]

Christian has sent Brown to the lions claiming the bump was to the head !!!
Not a case of head hits ground causing concussion.
The media including Nick Riewoldt have given him at least 6 weeks.
Bugg got 6 for a punch to the head.

O.K. so who replaces Brown.
Clavarino or Goddard.

Goddard for Brown

If Brown gets 6wks for that bump, the AFL is a f****** joke!!
If that’s worth 6wks, Gaff should’ve got a life
ban.
Yep it was late and Saad didn’t play any further part in the game, but he got knocked out when his head hit the ground.
It was a very mild concussion and he’ll play next week without a doubt, so it’ll be 3wks down to 2wks with a guilty plea.

Pity blokes like Templeton never got those kind of chances

Templeton really never got a go under the Cho.
Cho seems to make firm calls on players and it looks like Cho's judgment on player identification is terrible.
Makes you wonder.

I’m a big believer in the philosophy that it’s not about the player that you start with... he may have a small frame, or bad habits, or bad skills... it’s what you can turn them into if they have the skills...

We’re really bad at it. At St. Kilda we’ve had a plethora of players that started well and went nowhere...
Templeton, Lee, Saad, Siposs, Terry M... we blamed the recruiters... oh they picked junk we said. Yet so many players on our list started ok and got worse... sure it’s bot a developmental issue

Some of those blokes could not get a kick that is why they were moved on. I think more could have been done with Lee though.
