Lloyd had every intention to make his presence known, I don’t think he lined up Sewell - he was just there. Lloyd was also in the vicinity of the ball, even if it wasn’t his primary focus.
If he was gonna intentionally take someone out of the game, it wouldn’t have been Sewell.
My issue with the bump Francis put on custard knees was that I didn’t think it was high. Other than a blury image that porported to show it was, there was no real evidence that it was high. The club chose not to contest so it either was, or wasn’t worth the effort.
Brown’s bump however wasn’t near the play like Frangers and took him out. All that duty of care stuff people were throwing around last week applys here.
As an aside; is being prevented from playing for St Kilda really a punishment??
You are wrong again. I never said it was courageous. I just said I didn’t have a big issue with it and would be happy if our one of our players laid a similar bump
Because the Saints are dumb. They had nothing to gain from it. But for us in a must win game this week I’d be over the moon if one of our players dropped Martin or Cotchin in the first quarter
