Armo's knee in the back (possible cracked vertebra)

[supersaints]

Doc larkins mentioned he may have to get scans for cracked vertebra . Hodges knee in his back was not a legitimate attempt tp mark but a deliberate attempt to injure or at least hurt Armo. The dog also tried to injure Blake when sliding into him but came of second best. Should be looked at by the mrp

How come the free went to Hawthorn?

From StKilda Facebook - Injury Update: Sam Fisher will miss the next 2-3 weeks with a hamstring strain. David Armitage has a bruised lower back but should be available next week.

How come the free went to Hawthorn?

Because Milne held Hodges arm when he went up for the mark

Blame hodge, yep. Blame him.

Absolutely not a legitomate attempt to mark just to knee him in the back .watch the replay....

[satchmo]

I agree with clucky, blame hodge.

The one that looked bad was Schoenmakers or who ever round housed Kosi when he was marking, the umps didn't even tell him to take it easy.

It was a dog act. If Bakes had of done that he would have got at least 10 wks

Because the umpires have got no idea - typical of their very poor form last night.

[To the top]

As I recall Armitage was spotted up as in space and the delivery was to him (just after another delivery to him in space was centimetres over his reach and cost a goal) and Armitage had the overhead "mark" in hand when a Hawthorn player crashed into him very heavily and illegally from behind - and Hawthorn got the free kick!

If Milne held onto Hodge, why?

Milne should have been, at least, running to position for any very late spoil on Armitage because the only Hawthorn opportunity was a very late spoil (which is as it turned out and with the "spoil" being illegal crashing into Armitage's back moments after he controlled the ball overhead), then bolting into space as an option.

Not Milne's game tho.

This is typical of the reason/s I have been saying Milne is past it and we can no longer afford him in this side.

The result was a Hawthorn free, Armitage prostrate on the ground, Hawthorn with a spare player and Hawthorn running in a goal when we should have been with the scoring advantage.

You are posting now when he gives a free away. Seriously get over it. You will eventually be proved right but before you are he has been AA. That is why I disregard your opinion on this. However you were right about Cahill and Johnson. Very good players and should dominate at their new AFL clubs.
