Short memory. One example: Stocker obliterated Mihocek with a body check last year, he was one of the few on the list that would consistently put his body in. Got two weeks for a body check last year as well. None of our piss weak refuse to chase forwards - heck none of the list - will stand up to any physical pressure. It's been a issue with us for twenty years and continues to be so. Stocker would actually have been perfect to free up Saad last night, but no. Oh well, others apparently know better.
Everyone in the AFL knows that we are hopeless under physical pressure, utterly hopeless.

Obliterated? LMAO. Standard shepherd. He merely got in front of Mihocek, turned his back and used Mihocek’s velocity against him. Was Mihocek playing for a free? It’d be interesting to see if he popped up after no free came his way.
Maybe you can show us some clips of Stocker’s crash tackling.

Prof is right, other teams think we can be got at physically and we even had Rankine trying to get in our players faces last night.
Stocker will have a go back as he showed vs Holman last game, we are a very passive team and I felt Walker and Fogarty in particular think they can bully us and just walk through our tackles.

What an apt description, sadly.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Our job is to surrender at the contest, if we don't we get "A Plowman" by Michael Christian.
That's our club's fault for failing to stick up for it's players in the past, they use us as an example, because we have a history of rolling over!
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
