tigerlove said:Thought he did ok. 7th most contested possessions. Sitting 2nd for goals per game. Can't see him being dropped unless for fatigue management. Not sure Stengle has done enough to replace him and not as competent givng a chop out in the middle.
Even better was when Riewoldt was set upon by Dunn and one other Collingwood player. Higgins went in and flew the flag. Was out of his depth but didn't take a backward step against that imposter Dunn.Baron Samedi said:Liked how he bounced back up, slotted the goal and celebrated in exactly the same way, daring Lynden to do it again.
We have our own Stevie J folks

Yeah what a tough man that Dunn is. Didn't see him try that on Nank. I am not normally for this type of umpiring as I like a bit of argy-bargy in the game, but it was just a cheap shot and deserved a goal against him.Baron Samedi said:Liked how he bounced back up, slotted the goal and celebrated in exactly the same way, daring Lynden to do it again.

HR said:On a fox footy show last night they discussed the penalty being "too big" for the late bump and if I remember they finished by saying should be a free in the middle because if it was the other way around, ie a defender being bumped it is a free from the middle.
Personally I think this is another case of the boys not understanding the problem. This situation needs to be a free at goal. Any *smile* can go and flatten another player after the play has stopped and when they are not reasonably expected to be hit. Cowards act, should have been a goal from the centre of the goal line as well. It doesn't happen very often so a goal here or there is not a penalty big enough for a cheap dog act. Maybe a free from the middle as well to the ruckman.
On a side note how soft did Castagna hit the dude, for him to be a 100kg experienced player and hit the deck like he was hit by a road train. Report him for staging just to top it off I reckon. :hihi

bigwow said:It was Lynden Dunn, and Collingwood, so fair's fair.
Any incident like that, the free is awarded where it happens, or where the ball is, whichever is closer to the receiving team's goal.tigerlove said:I think a free in the middle is fair. To me another certain goal for that was quite harsh.
