And the number of times he was held and no free kicks paid to him is infuriating.
Watch out if both Harry and Charlie have a blinder on the same day.
Charlie Curnow is "coasting" at the moment, he's content with having a little highlight reel moment where he bobs up and kicks a nice goal, the rest of the time he has his hands on his hips and is spectating., we all know he has no second efforets and refuses to chase. This is not good enough IMO, he has to learn that the players upfield are working their butts off to get the aggot up his end and he should have the decency to reward those efforts by applying himself harder and longer in a match, He'd kick 12 a week if he did.
Contrast that to McKay who is running all over the ground, being part of the transition chain and is marking when & where needed, he is not as gifted as Curnow but gives his all 100% of the time because of it.

Can’t tell if this is serious or sarcasm.
So many Cookers on social media aligning Walsh’s with May’s last night. WTF? This is why BT has to go.
Not only is he a substandard commentator, his stupid biased comments are dangerous.
He’s the Donald Trump of commentators - inciting hatred and sowing division by tossing out stupid, unjustifiable and extreme comments which appeal to the deplorables.

Speaking with Raydan about how much I have enjoyed Cowan's rise to prominence and he made an interesting observation. The reason why Zac Williams was trialled up forward was as a direct result of how settled & reliable Cowan has been at half-back, they couldn't keep playing Williams there either. This move forced Zac into becoming a better player in a position none of us had considered he was even suited for, a huge win-win for everyone.
How exactly does one slam their own head into the turf?
If that was the case, Geelong would be employing a biomechanics expert to get Dangerfield off his suspension.
Watch it again, Walsh’s arms are pinned and he has no control as centripetal force propels his head in an accelerating arc into the turf.
As for the Williams-Cowan scenario, Cowan’s form in the Magoos would have played a part. However, his opportunity arose because Williams put his hand up to play as a defensive forward and his logical replacement in defence, Cincotta, was given the tagging role. It’s actually a win-win-win.

You must have missed Charlie’s mark deep in defence ?
Charlie and Harry have different roles. Apart from his ruck role, Harry plays further up the ground. Charlie’s role means that he rarely goes past the centre, unless he’s needed in defence.
If Charlie is “coasting”, let’s have more of it I say!

Danger drilled Walsh's head into the turf, that is not being disputed. Go back and look at a couple of the other times Walsh was tackled and you will see what I am referring to.

Danger field had both arms and actually was holding Walsh's left wrist. He dropped his own body weight which left Walsh defenceless. You would have to be a flat earther to believe Walsh slammed his head on purpose.

The same forces apply whether it’s a tackle or a heavy landing after a marking attempt. Your head is basically the end of a pendulum and stopping the motion of the pendulum causes the head to accelerate.
Saying that a player is deliberately face slamming is a bit like saying that players can bend their fingers back to give the impression of a touched ball.

Walsh winces at the approaching surface, and his neck muscles are taught like he's trying to keep his head off the deck.
But that's not a fact BT or the other media Dangerflog apologists want discussed, because it fails to fit their agenda to get Dangerflog off the charges.
If someone like Fogarty tackled Dangerflog like that, the same crew would have put him to the media sword!
