Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[ElwoodBlues1]

Think he got rubbed out?

But you were right earlier - umpires will be watching him pretty closely in future.

Yep you are right, suspended..he wont be playing this week...his absence might give Gibbs or Murphy some breathing space..

If every single game you watched featured this sort of behaviour, you would very quickly figure out what is wrong with it.

Alot of games do. Intimidation is a part of the game.

No-one smacked him at all. They bumped and pushed him, tackled him extra hard, told him all about it after, and made him physically earn every kick. What was wrong with it? Nothing at all unfair. You might pay money to see play well against us but I prefer we reduced his influence so we can win.

+2.

x2. Negating tactics are part of the game, always have been, always will be.

Paul isn't talking about your standard push and shove. A whole squad targetting one guy is a bit too much. The umpires need to start paying frees to stamp this crap out.

That's not intimidation. The Roughead hit on Hannebery in the 1st q of the 2014 GF - that's intimidation.

Understand, dont disagree.

And what of the "one guy's" 21 team mates?
