There wasn't much in the hit but he went in for the bump and hit his head, because of that he'll get two weeks.


Only a few games left to put up with my rants lol I found a place where they rant even more than I do:

Needless to say I am going for mod...

Edit: and I haven't made an "Essendon rant" in this thread for a while... On Facebook I do rant quite a bit during games though.

He's out of contract this year, he's got to be thinking about leaving.

Collingwood & Melbourne have only played 3 interstate games, in no way is this fair to other teams in the competition. Collingwood for WAY to long have had the least interstate games. About time the AFL stopped giving them the easiest run out of all teams, make them travel as much as the rest of the league & watch how many games they win then.
Is Bullsh:t.

While its generally fair Collingwood do have a better draw to everyone else, you have to remember that out of the 16 other teams, 8 are from Melbourne. They're going to play a LOT of games in Melbourne.

I think it is fairer if all teams traveled the same amount of games as West Coast & Dockers, They travel more than any teams in the league

lol, they knew what the situation was when entering the competition - if they didn't want to play by those rules, then they should not have taken out the franchise.

How are you going to have a melb team travel as much as a team from a "two team town"???? Have Bombers play pies in Perth?

What harps meant was to have collingwood travel as much as other Victorian teams. lots of them have go interstate more than collingwood, but due to the afl's money over fairness policy, they would prefer collingwood to stay at home, on Friday night and rake in the cash rather than have a fair competition. Look up the last time collingwood played at skilled stadium, then compare that to other teams. You would be surprised.

Missing my point most other Vic teams travel 6/10 times inter state , They "Collingwood" have for years played less games interstate than any other team.
But is worse for the W.A teams
If I was vague in my O/P I'm sorry

Why?

Thanks Macca ;)
