I don't thing the opposition will be forming a guard of honour for him. Would have been interesting if the Saints played them in his last game.

Agreed.
As for the Kosi hit, in todays AFL he would get 3-4 weeks because of the head injury.
As the hit happened 20 metres in front of me, I can tell you it was a hip and shoulder and an ACCIDENTAL head clash.
And I agree some people on here have pathetic little lives. Same people probably thought Steve Baker was great.

Re: Gina final retires.....
Everyone is entitled to their view, but in my opinion, it's the worst hit in footy I've seen live.
Even dogs fans don't like him. Good riddance.

Re: Gina final retires.....
steven baker was a great player
former best and fairest
they dont just hand that out to any old muppet
gia
mehh whatever
its done and its history
but kozi had no chance of catching the op
there was really no point in blindsiding him and knocking him into next week
accidental head clash or not
he chose to go
now he has to live with knowing what happened to koz is his fault

Gia come from at worst 90 degrees from the direction Kosi is running (if you take 0 degrees straight ahead and 180 directly behind), in other words well within Kosi's vision

it wasn't a cheap shot at all. It was an unlucky accident.
bj did almost the same thing to Daisy Thomas in a 2009 final, only difference was there was no head clash.
Was that a "cheap shot" as well?

Also are you saying that if Kosi had seen it he would have avoided contact... how? by pulling up.. that wouldn't look too good

Is a question abuse now? I ask again how would you know about cheap shots on a football field? I have seen your cheap shots on here plenty of time, wondering if have ever experienced a real cheap
If you think it is abuse report the post, don't waste bandwidth by trying to show off to the mods. You have a facility.
Better still answer the questions I put.
You have a right to an opinion, however don't have a cry when your inflammatory, provocative language gets a robust response.

Re: Gina final retires.....
Very good player but obviously many on here were better. What he did to Kosi was legal at the time. have people seen Voss hit on whoever it was or Magro on another player. 10 times worse but all legal at the time. Glad that stuff has been removed from the game. No courage in doing it but also nothing wrong at the time in doing it. Outside receiver. Yep exactly what we need now.

Voss's shirtfront was on our current coach. I am amazed Richo ever got up.
