The Eagles are tweeting pics of their own players giving possibly high hits?

Natanui was just minding his own business when Merrett came up and maliciously headbutted him in the arms.
Free kick West Coast
Here is the link to the tweet.
Honestly have no idea how that is holding the ball against Myers, Didnāt dive on it, didnāt have prior, barely even had possession due to fumbles, knocked out in the tackle. Free kick West Coast, free kick NicNat, go figure

How was that not a push in the back to Bellcho?

Dunno, all that sequence showed me was that the umps were ignoring our possible frees.
And that NicNat deserves a Logie.

Thought the same thing how is that holding the ball?
LOL at the freeze frame ā I was wondering why WCE would ask whether NicNat should get suspended for hitting Merrett high.

Dumb founded. If anything Stringer could have been called for a throw. Either way this set of umpires should be introduced to the cannon.
I think the umpire was rewarding NicNat for forcefully pushing Zerrett into him about 40 seconds earlier. Surprised Zerrett wasnāt cited and fined for umpire contact.
Exactly. What medical assessment was made in the 20 seconds between TBCās ābrutalā strike and NicNatās ruck contest and tackle on Myers.
This. It was one or the other and is there really any surprise which way they went. Michael Christian wouldāve taken on that job thinking heād shine like a beckon of integrity and has since proven himself to be every bit as honourable as the previous MRP.
The Fox Footy coverage was pretty clear: the five ex-footballers said āfine Naitanuiā, and the sole communications professional said āfine Bellchambersā.
This game is farked.
(I thought theyād do nothing, given the front-on footage was so fuzzy.)

Nick-Nat should have gone for faking it. What a stager. It wasnāt like a full on punch.
With out luck Belly will get a week and a fine.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion and in the absolute minority; actually nobody that has posted in this thread shares this opinion. If belly caught him in the solar plexus flush and he was unprepared, pretty easy to get winded and so I can understand his reaction. Thought nicnat was pretty ā ā ā ā ā ā afterwards too, very much unlike him and so contrary to what everybody thinks, defo donāt think he was faking it. Thought there was a chance of a suspension for belly and so Iām glad he escaped with a fine. Fine was the right result in my opinion.

There seems to be some begrudging realisation among the scribes that Belly is in good form.
Week after week they expect the ānameā ruckmen of the competition to beat him, and are forced to concede Belly is actually beating them or at worse halving the contest .

Seems to have really grown as a leader at the club and blossomed with the responsibility.
