Egan ran the other way from stoppages many times, but all but 1 were on purpose. The one that wasn't was on the far wing....and it was in the first minute of the quarter. I've done that before. :-*
Interested to know if [member=58]crashlander[/member] noticed these events.
It sort of sticks in the memory because it's something you generally see so very rarely, perhaps once per team per season, and I think we had at least three in this one game!
btw., I'm not punishing them for it, it happens especially to mids who get knocked around a bit, and Nthmond tried hard to play brutal footy, but it's perhaps a warning sign that we weren't switched on and ready for the intensity Nthmond brought.
