McKay, Cripps, Kreuzer, hardly small players, all repeatedly hit in the head and it's play on!
Secondly, when will the AFL do something about these "body spoils", too many good players are having their season ended by landing awkwardly after a small players cannon into the back of talls in marking contests, always without getting anywhere near the ball.
Roughead, first a trip, then a blatant push, neither penalised right in front of the umpire both times. Both resulted in goals!
So many Dawks players block in marking contests it's ridiculous, they fly through the contest behind their marking forward without making even a basic attempt to contest the mark or touch the ball.
Why wasn't it a 50M penalty for that striking report, isn't it supposed to be automatic? You hear the umpire say he's reported for elbowing SPS to the head but no 50M gets paid!
I suspect he was concussed but played on, didn't you notice that head high hit, he staggered for a few moments after that then seemed to run it off. I immediately expected him to come off when it happened as he was clearly stunned.
The worry is what was wrong with SpecialK?

I hate to pot a champ, but some of the poor disposals and half efforts from Murphy in the third and especially final qtr were deeply disappointing, and costly (from a leader/experienced player these mistakes have a terrible impact on the group).
