Showed what a weak flog brown is. Wiped a guy out who had his eyes on the ball, behind the play. Then did NOTHING the rest of the match. Seemed to not want to go anywhere near the contest for the rest of the game
Weak dog.
Also how dumb is he, in a week where everyone was talking about an off the ball incident, he goes and does that. Moron.
Should be looking at 4 weeks minimum, that is not counting if saad has any broken bones
That was a very ordinary act. Saad had taken 3 steps after he’d disposed of the ball. Brown had time to think about it and just lined him up. Should get a heavy penalty whether or not he got him in the head.
Just watching the replay now and was suprised to see that the incident happened directly in front of Heppell.
Someone needs to tell the captain to fly the flag when one of his boys gets dropped because walking straight past is fckn embarrassing.
Okay then, all i could see was Stringer and Belly getting into Brown and then quickly getting outnumbered by saints players.
I still remember Heppell walking past BJ when he had 3 scum players on top of him earlier in the year, not good enough from your capt.
I don’t know what the TV cameras showed but there was plenty of Bombers getting into the Saints and plenty more checking on Saad.
Play was also still going on the whole time, and the ball had time to go forward for an Essendon behind, get kicked out and go up the other end for a set shot before the umpires actually decided it might be a good idea to stop the play with someone lying on the ground concussed
They only stop the game if it interferes with play or if the stretcher is called for. Otherwise they are instructed to keep the game going. It is up to the medical staff to stop it quickly. You would end up with the game taking forever as players try to milk being hurt to slow the game down and control the ball in a tight contest.
