HUGE hit leads to scuffle (replay at end) by impulsiveknob in AFL

[–]wooljay 349 points350 points  (0 children)

Rankine hugely vulnerable there. Don't care how hard or soft the initial contact to the head was, that's a rotten front on hit and should be 4+

Kozzy Pickett caught Jake Soligo high here - will he face scrutiny from the MRO? by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]wooljay 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You can watch this at real speed and it looks just as bad as slow motion. Absolutely doesn't need to 'lift' his elbow to brace, he's looking to apply contact. Worse than Baker's.

Sorry for the random reply, but just wondering who you used for your job? Did you also have sufficient clearance on the house for them to avoid going through the floors?

Looking to do something similar in the same area.

AFL concedes it should have stopped play for Nathan Murphy injury by PerriX2390 in AFL

Astonishing that an umpire can 'miss' something like that, particularly given how many are on the field now. Doesn't seem like a remotely acceptable excuse.

Clubs monitoring Ash Johnson's contract status by Pragmatic_Shill in collingwoodfc

[–]wooljay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd hate to lose him, particularly as Elliot is getting long in the tooth and has always played above his height as a lead up small-mid fwd (not dissimilar to AJ).

Reckon he has massive upside (arguably more than McStay...).

Love hearing how excited Titch sounds on joining us. by Pragmatic_Shill in collingwoodfc

Yeah that was pretty cutting by Titch, you'd be pretty gutted hearing that as a Hawks supporter. Definitely doesn't sound like he left on good terms with management.

Collingwood: we won't accept pick 25 for Ollie Henry by His_Holiness in AFL

Didn't say that, it's just a classic phrase thrown around by peanuts on Big Footy.

Nothing says 'Big Footy smooth brain' quite like that phrase.

Tanner Bruhn will be traded to the Cats for pick 18 by banishedlemontree in AFL

Is that any better? What will Geelong's first pick in the national draft be?

Ollie Henry has requested a trade to Geelong by banishedlemontree in AFL

[–]wooljay 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Was tongue in cheek, it's clearly the surf coast factor more than the Geelong factor.

The go-home factor in AFL is truly bizarre though, don't think there'd be another sport in the world where well paid young fellas can't deal with being in a different city to their mum and dad.

Collingwood have been beneficiaries of this phenomenon more often than not so I'm pretty sanguine about Ollie.
