Deserves his own thread. How this AFL executive has kept his job is beyond me.
I want evidence he's said exactly that.*smile*.
Openly admitted to changing the rules to curtail our dominance and prop the club he used to play for up.
Sam Landsberger or Edmund tweeted that the genesis for the man on the mark was Hocking was so affronted by how we defended the man on the mark that this sparked the rule change.I want evidence he's said exactly that.
That sounds like a frustrated Tiger supporter, not the AFL head of football.
That's not him openly admitting it, it's a journo speculating about what he thinks.
If they did that about something Gale was thinking about Hardwick rooting staff members, we'd all scream they were talking crap to stir the pot.
I want evidence he's said exactly that.
That sounds like a frustrated Tiger supporter, not the AFL head of football.
No, I'm equating journos suggesting someone thinks something when the person has never actually said it.
Leppa also referred to it. In discussions last year about how Richmond train how to man a mark, Hocking, or another minion, said, and I'm trying to remember the direct words, something along the lines of "Don't worry, we're dealing with that next year".I want evidence he's said exactly that.
That sounds like a frustrated Tiger supporter, not the AFL head of football.
Leppa admitted on SEN that he had conversations with Hocking during the QLD hubs about our aggressive approach to manning the mark and how we put alot of work on it at training. Leppa then said I probably shouldn't say anymore. You can put 1 and 1 together after that.
