Tough? Matthews knew a thing or two.

I was watching the show on Ch7 for the post-game wash-up and this "Norm-Smith-medal-with-a-torn-hamstring" issue came up. All the panel were oohing and ahhing over "how brave chappy was" (I think he was very good by the way) Lethal simply laughed out loud and said "torn hamstring? you're joking!!" I dont wish to detract from Chapmans efforts, but the fact that BJ played with a broken collarbone and broken nose without any complaint or media fanfare speaks volumes for how mentally tough our boys are becoming!!!!!

as if in this friggin galaxy you could play a game of football for even 5 bloody minutes with a torn hamstring...at the highest level in the country mind you.
what bollocks
he might have a strain/pull, tiniest of tiny rips like a mm rip
way they are carrying on its like he ripped off its bone

but to say he tore his hamstring and managed to get back on is down right rubbish

imo of course

Dipper played against 'em in 89 with a punctured lung and God knows how many other Hawks were carrying injuries after Geelong's attempt to employ the tactic of playing the man not the ball for 3/4 of the game.
They got what they deserved then! Perhaps the geelong coach then should have been criticised more, rather than be lauded today as a "genius"

You would think a bloke of any quality would acknowledge that his hammie was only a twinge and that he was not impeded in the slightest. Same applies to Harry 'greatest defender in historyof football even though ball was greasy and that means defending is much easier than usual' Taylor and his soresy wawsey litle handy wandy.

They'll get theirs.

Never liked Geelong. EVER. Hated Stoneham and Brownless and Ablett as a kid and that other ranga that used to run around like a poonce. Just somehing dishonest about them.

And while I'm on it, the lack of humilty in Catophile John Harms' post GF writing disgusts me. Winners are grinners, I know, but fair dinkum, some sort temperance on the post win orgasmic bliss for god's sake. YOU WERE GIFTED IT, PEANUT! YOU WERE GIFTED 07, YOU BLEW 08, YOU WERE GIFTED 09.

Collectively they ain't a blackhead on threepeat Brisbane's date...

Love a thinline rant.

That other ranga you speak of was Neville Bruns, no?

Thinline · Post: # 838279Post **Thinline** » Wed 30 Sep 2009 10:40pm

Bruns was a peckerhead as well!!!!!

Nah. There was another one, I'm sure. A purer ranga along the lines of Ling... name escapes me...

Don't know what is was about the Cats of my youth. I just remember them being so namby pamby (even though history - Yeats/Derm, God/Burke etc - says otherwise).

Maybe it was just the colours or something...

f*** em I say.

Good and proper.

Not talking about that great Saint Scratcher Neal are you?

Remember Matthews having a slight altercation with Neville Bruns.

Griggsy · Post: # 838340Post **Griggsy** » Wed 30 Sep 2009 11:39pm

He was in the coaches press conference right after the game and said it was a cork

Made a joke about not saying who did it to him.

oh that made me laugh. all I have been hearing from geelong people is how taylor was so brilliant....i mean seriously. the fact it was wet stacked it way in his favour.

kosifantutti23 · Thu 01 Oct 2009 5:25pm

The Channel 7 boundary rider, I don't know who it was, said he had been down to the rooms and had his hamstring strapped. The only problem was Chapman was on screen at the time and there was obviously no strapping on either leg.

Still don't believe that.....

Maybe a few cracked/broken ribs, but the punctured lung is a story I don't believe.....

Maybe it got punctured somehow afterwards, but playing with a punctured lung?

Maybe he did, but as it stands, I don't believe it.

They played a team that didn't turn up to play and then gave up, dingbat.

No contest.

Gift.

Did you watch? Or were you too busy polishing your Ablett doll?

I was listening to some medical guys on SEN last week, and they basically said there is no way either. They said he probably had some kind of transfered pain to the area, but no way was it torn.

Was a legitimate question and you flame in response...Saints weren't good enough this year just like Geelong wasn't good enough last year - that's reality, like it or not...

Dude ... you talk of 'Scratcher Neil.' Real ranga, played on a wing. Mank looking sod, he was too. True Geelong-ite. BUT, ironically, played out his final days with St Kilda - went OK for a bloke in semi-retirement.
