I'm old school GTC and dont like seeing our champion skipper pushed around by some hack like Anderson....he gets angry and gives away dumb frees but I want him to get even. Take your point he needs a few more years like Dusty to get a more sly part of his game to deal with it.
I want Cripps to be like Cunnington vs Vince....its Nth on the end of some intimidation with Higgins getting targeted but Vince tries it on with Cunnington and its my idea of curing the problem...

A call or email to the umpires dept woudn't go astray RE the studs in the guts (twice this year, no free). The rest, meh. In my view we give away more stupid frees than other sides. As I said earlier, the HTB rule is a just a raffle now. For example, the one against Gov, got pinged for incorrect disposal and it was a lighning quick decision by the umps. Other times, its called play on coz it spilled loose. I just dont get it, it should be incorrect disposal every time you either dont kick it or handball it. SImple, no play on.

Suppose, on the bright side, we found that Moore was crap in a game that we won. I think we picked Moore expecting some aggro, but it is probably a bit easier to be aggro surrounded by Dusty, Nankervis, Riewoldt, Cotchin, Lambert, Grimes, McIntosh, Caddy, etc., etc..

Pittonet redeemed himself today, I think this was his best game so far, the first of quality against a serious ruck opponent.
That is what we need, a guy who is competitive against the best, not a guy who dominates B-Graders then gets smashed by the A-Graders.

I'll try and watch a replay before I decide or vote, I thought Kennedy was probably my best, perhaps his best game for us as well. Kennedy and Plowman took some mighty pressure marks today in less than ideal conditions, but Kennedy had at least two maybe three strong contested marks.

Still, a major standout was Pittonet. Doesn't know fear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGhOLlZ78s4 Gee Oliver would have romped in an Acadamy Award for that. IIRC, Cunnington got a week for that? Ed is doing the same to the opo guns, thats life.

The quicky in the bread basket doesnt seem to attract as much condemnation as the head high stuff or jumper punch, Dusty likes to use
it a lot to keep opponents honest..
I think Greg Williams didnt mind delivering a sly one in that region either....
