That is a â â â â â â â weak dog bump. Knew exactly what he was doing. Should have got 10.

Should have got 12 weeks for breaking Gary Rohanâs leg - instead they make a stupid unworkable rule that confuses everybody and makes each relevant free kick a toss upâŚtoo high, or taking the legs.
Should have got weeks for the hit on Ben Reid too. Still canât work out how he got off that one. Jumped past the ball and into a guyâs head, causing lots of blood and concussion.

A rare photo of Lindsay Thomas undergoing special one on one off site training with an expert.
Five weeks of this will allow him to put his heart and soul into it.

Got off very lightly.
Normally when a â â â â â â â dog hurts a human they put it down.
Gutless, sniping, dog â â â â .

Seriously guys, no way near as bad as youâre all making it out to be. whenâs the last time an Essendon player hit someone with that sort of intent, even half of it?
errm ambrose
proper â â â â
Pls explain the last 2 posts, ⌠I canât make sense of either.
What are you guys actually saying? Am I missing a joke?
Ambrose tackles, Thomas is a sniper but if you want to see it done properly:
What I was saying wasâŚ
The hit wasnât the worst Iâve seen in AFL, or in local footy. Probably Hodge Pushing someone into a goal post was one of the lower acts Iâve seen recently on TV, not mentioning anything from the 80s.
And I wished our players had a bit more intent to hurt the opposition when they get a chance to make body contact. nothing stupid, just âmake them earn itâ.

Ahh.
Well, yeah thereâs been worse, and thereâs certainly been plenty of flying elbows over the journey,⌠there was one equal to that from,⌠was it Toby Green??, or another GCS or GWS player just in the last few weeks, ⌠but the outrage factor goes up by a diving, arm lifting, free seeking, prikk factor of X 5 here âŚ
And then double that,⌠because it was fkn Thomas, . just Coz! ⌠
As for our ladâs, Iâm sure weâd all like to see more of them tackle with an Ambrose type intent when they get the chance, ⌠but itâs not a hunt the man type of game these days, and the penalty for getting it wrong, even if itâs unintentional, is so random, severe and seemingly arbitrary, I think they just wonât risk a shirt front etc now, . at least in the main, & just steer clear.
Which of course is the AFLâs intent with the confusion over it, ⌠and letâs not get started on when a tackle is a sling tackle or not,⌠and what gets you weeks and what doesnât.
I start to wonder if they arenât actually instructed away from the hard hit / ferocious tackle by coaches now??
Also had pause to wonder about the Ambo tackle where he uses Hill as a grader blade, ⌠what would have happened there, if Hill had hit his head in the shunt onto the turf, and been knocked out cold, ⌠would Paddy have got weeks??
Would it suddenly have become âUnduly rough playâ??
Can we pick up this bloke.
Sack him the next day, just to prove a point.
If he wasnât a soft â â â â he wouldâve lined that bloke up right down the middle, body on body, smacked him into next week and wouldnât have even been a free kick.
He avoided the body contact and put his elbow into the head. Soft and weak. Should be career ending, thankfully.

Pretty sure Hill missed at least one week following that tackle due to concussion

That was the most dangerous thing Iâve seen on a footy field. It could have easily killed Winguard. That it was down-played despite it being pretty much intentional, is indicative on this administrationâs integrity.
And listen to the farkers commentate it.
