I think we're missing a more important story about Oliver from that game, he was tagged by Mark Hutchings and broke the tag, not bad for a 19 year old

urgh, Salem will be out for a few weeks with a hamstring as well now. Garlett was also playing injured, wont be surprised if he misses next week as well.

JKH has been tearing it up at VFL level but you just feel his ceiling is just below AFL level. that said, guys in similar positions like ANB have been putting together good footy in the senior team lately so i've been wrong before. would like to see Kent back in the side if Garlett goes out.

I have no idea why a footy player (particularly a young or not very good one) would have a public social media presnece. It almost never results in anything good and can only be a risk to a persons mental health.

Also, people use the word 'oval office' in a derogatory manner way too much in this thread.

Yeah, Martyn nearly quit cricket after that shot and had to work his backside off to get back in the test team.

Oliver is essentially admitting he made a mistake falling to the ground by equating the two incidents, not that smartest tool in the shed.

If the AFL actually wanted to get serious about staging there would be a couple of clubs with players out on the streets from being fined every time they throw their head back in a tackle, but we deffo should save our criticism for a guy who actually got hit on the jaw.

I think that if you intentionally strike someone and you hit them high you should automatically get a week, but Schofield is stiff given what the MRP lets slide. Pretty interested in what was in the medical report to justify low impact rather than negligible.

I find flopping by players from my team far more infuriating than by opposition players over accentuating contact, because unless you're a select group of players it disadvantages you on a number of levels. Sometimes I want to strangle Walters with some poo poo he carries on with.

to be fair knowing when to keep wrestling your opponent and knowing when to go to ground is all part of modern key forward contested marking. unfortunately if you get your timing wrong or misread the contest or umpire positioning then you just look like a twat

Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
It's a bit hard working out what side of the line certain cricketers are.

I mean, yes, the pat answer is they're all arseholes, but then they come out and surprise you.

From the 2006-07 clean sweep team
Ponting: not a complete arsehole considering he was captain
Gilchrist: thought he was one of the good ones but SURPRISE he's a Liberal supporter too what when the gently caress did that happen
Hayden: complete arsehole
Langer: not sure if arsehole or just short person complex like Brent Harvey. They're both angry little garden gnomes anyway
Martyn: dark horse arsehole
Clarke: probably not as big an arsehole as everyone reckons. But annoying for other reasons
THE HUSS: the one true good bloke of that era
Symonds: background radiation levels of arsehole
Watson: *snerk*
Warne: we could use his arseholishness as a renewable source of energy but his face is going to collapse one day
Lee: absolute arsehole although he gets some credit for nearly killing Piers Morgan
McGrath: he loving shot a loving elephant, what do you reckon?
MiJo: probably not enough of an arsehole to be quite honest
Clark: robots can't be arseholes
Tait: not sure about the arsehole bit but certainly a fuckwit

Of course I should post this in the cricket thread but they're all arseholes there too.

I can't bring myself to type the other word. Don't mind others using it though.

Gilchrist once brought a paperback copy of "Das Kapital" to read whilst on tour, so I don't know how or when he outed himself as a Liberal supporter.

Edit: and seconding the Johnson stuff. He always seemed like he was forcing his "Grr I'm a a tough bully" act.
