Rd 13: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs GC

[LP]

The aspect thats change is that it used to be one player doing the niggle ie Ryan Crowley was the high prince of close tagging but now are seeing half  the team trying to bang into players like Ablett.....one on one its ok IMO but on mass its probably not a great look for the game.

Isn't that partly due to the lack of response by a team-mate?

So far in 2017 we haven't seen a lot of this happening against us, but we now have quite a few blokes who openly fly the flag instead of running away!

I'll never forgive Tuohy and Everitt for just jogging past Murphy the day the was put down in the center of the field, that was as piss-weak as it comes from Carlton players!

Its going to end in a massive brawl one day when the tagged one decides to belt the would be aggressors.....when that happens the AFL might look at it more closely...

No doubt that will be the case, the thing missing now is the spontaneous retaliation and nobody wants to see that.
