What a game and the Cats bottled it. Tigers get up by 3 points. Cats had a chance and Ablett missed a bunny.
-
Three goals in five minutes. Big come back!
-
I thought we may drop this game ,
6 players out of the best 22 , 2 wins clear on the ladder , broke the consecutive wins record at the mcg in the last game , just thought complacency may creep in and the cats in good form.
Happy to hang on to the win .
Gee Chris Scotts press conference was salty , biggest tosser in the afl, bad sport of the highest order .

In terms of quality this is shaping up as the round of the year

Bloooooooods.
Buddy with a Lebron-esque performance.

5 games so far. Four finished with margin of 4 points or less.

Yep, only the Saints letting us down by being shit.
Today will... not be so close

@mariner4life we keep the punters happy with our predictable rubbish-ness.

Yep. Dees scraped home by 96 VS the GC. The percentage is great and it needs to be with so many teams on the same amount of points.

Couple of hundred point beltings and a relatively minor 10-goal belting. Sunday was not a good day (unless of course you support the winners).
GWS humiliated Cartlon, pretty sure they finished the game with 17 guys on the field, and still kicked goals. They are looking ominous, wonder if this year they can get passed the prelim.
Andrew Gaff is in a power of shit.

Is he what.
I'd seen the vision but without sound so didn't realise it was quite so bad.
Dude can't eat solids for 4 weeks.

Talk of criminal charges with the Gaff incident.
Grievous bodily harm?

Would be an interesting legal discussion, not sure what the precedent is.
Surely the Freo player wouldn't want to take it to court, though?
He'll get at least 8 weeks though.
dangerous precedent taking it to court. Where do you stop? Would it make anything worth a suspension liable to criminal charges?
It looks like a complete brain explosion. Even the way the punch is thrown is weird, he's just snapped in retaliation to the usual AFL shoulder-barge bullshit, and hit him flush. I seriously think he meant to hit him, but not there, and not that hard.
Deserves a fair suspension. Cameron got 5 weeks for what he did to Andrews, but at least the ball was somewhere close to them. That fact alone makes this worse in my eyes. I could stomach 6 weeks.
Pretty sure Gaff was looking for a move to Victoria for next season, this might affect his value a little.

Well I suppose there has to be a line somewhere - you couldn't beat someone to death on a footy field and expect to avoid criminal sanction.
I generally think the 'well if you did that in the street you'd be locked up' argument is flawed, because that goes for a lot of things that are legal in AFL/footy as well. You couldn't just tackle someone in the street, either.
I think unprovoked, aggressive acts that are well outside the rules of the game puts you in a risky position if the victim is litigious. I don't think it will happen here though.
