Training For Redemption in 2022

players get away with punches to the body all the time, but look at someone's head and you might get weeks.
Cotchin and Martin have had free kicks at least paid for minor tummy taps. This broke a rib and not even a free kick.

EXPLOSIVE!!! o_O

A heated altercation off the ball between Mansell & Shai, I were following the play but then had my attention drawn
to an aggressive scrimmage occurring well off the ball. In the end it had Riewoldt dragging Shai some 30 meters away to boundary line to cool him down and someone similarly with Mallee, Shai looked the more aggrieved.
I didn't see them hug it out after either.
Soldo been in hospital with an infected toe

sounds a bit heavy the Bolton/Mansell thing ..

don't like the idea of team mates going the biffo and then being dragged apart

Not anymore apparently he has shot up and same size as Dan
He looks just as small as ever to me. Noticeably shorter than Stack, who is listed as 177.

Tell you what, we'll get a shot of the two Riolis next to each other soon, maybe this week during the anthem, maybe at Dreamtime. If and when that shows MoJu to still be shorter, you are banned from speculating that a player has grown or could grow ever again. ;)

Deal?

Hugo ribs. Would that be due to the swinging-arm tackle with a clenched fist that got him in the last quarter. I need to look at it again but at first glance it was a thinly disguised strike which should have been looked at.

it was, but Marlion Pickett would smash David Rhys jones tribunal record if you got rubbed out for a rib-breaking tackle-punch.

I think it should be a free plus 50 against the bloke with the broken ribs for not Standing

Agree.
Would love him at Tiges
You need to pay more attention to MRJ's rapid development i.e. VFL highlights recently: the usual reading of the play; speed and run-down tackling; the goal-sense and sharp-shooting abilities; the unselfish sharing of the ball with a team-mate in better position; has added high marking to his CV; can go into the midfield successfully (at least at VFL level).

I think he could well become a better all-round player than Pickett, without the arrogance. Still only a kid.

IMHO he does not read the play particularly well, especially HFF

Probably I'd like to see more full games of him, I've only seen quarters here and there, and highlights which can be flattering.

But you don't think he is developing and showing promise? For a 19 yr old. (Reading the play never means getting it right heaps; it's a flukey thing that only the very best manage more than once/twice in a game IMO).
