Ouch. I assumed it was something more to do with his stomach or chest the way he landed.

Breaking news along the bottom of the Tele: duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a bay daughter. Details to follow.
This is a great game of footy between Hawks and North. Seems like hodge and Lewis have taken some inspiration from the Clarkson last week.

Ouchies for Kelly.
I didn't see the Lewis or Hodge incidents. I'll keep an eye out for the replay.

Both will go. Multiple weeks. 2 or 3 each, easily.

To be honest they weren't that bad but these stupid commentators like to hype it up every time to the point that the tribunal can't not give them some timeout. EDIT: obviously bad enough to get timeout regardless if he commentators but it wasn't Barry hall bad.
On he topic of stupid commentators, BT's beat tonight has been "bana-na-na-na-na...!"

Just saw them both. Easily 2-3 weeks.

Tried to tell you. I tipped us by 96. Straighter kicking and we would have won by over 100.

You were spot on. I can never be confident. The Blues are so terrible though.
That's crazy to think that. It has been a great start to the season though. Some of the crappier teams have really surprised. Dogs, I'm looking at you and loving it.

They'll run out of puff at some stage. Reminds me of the Pies last year. Great start to the year and then we just stopped and never recovered.

Swans are generally in CBF mode until around Rounds 8-10.

Still not as bad as this IMO... which got two fucking weeks.
Good old MRP Chook Lotto!
whats the bet it was about his brownlow lol
So Hodge got 3 weeks, pleaded guilty and didn't appeal.

Said he intended to hit him in the chest, but went too high. Feels like he got off pretty easy for someone who's been to the tribunal many times over the years.
Luckily for Hawthorn they have a pretty easy run over the next two weeks without Lewis and Hodge with GWS and then Melbourne.

I didn't think there was much wrong with the May bump. 3 weeks is definitely not right.

Very bad injury, too bad to contemplate.
And just quietly, how about those Pies? Playing with some passion and vigour. We'll eventually go off a cliff sometime this season but let's just enjoy it in the meantime.
The problem was May was the sole reason why Rockliff was knocked out. He chose to "attack" the man rather than the ball. The fact that he had Rockliff in his sights and then lined him up, with no other deciding factor around him, makes the 3 weeks a fair punishment imo. 2 would have been ok but him getting 3 weeks is his own (and the clubs) fault really.
You are allowed to bump/hip and shoulder within 5 metres of the ball though and he thought he needed to to stop Rockliff from soccering a goal or moving the ball to a team-mate.
If he had have tried to collect the ball there was a high chance of being tackled, although directly in front of goal the umps wouldn't normally give away holding.
It seems like the real issue is the height difference which resulted in the contact being higher than intended.

You need to be allowed to bump though. Bumping a player like that in that situation is a fair enough play imo. It wasn't even a free kick at the time was it?
It's done now though I guess. I just didn't see that incident and say "oh he's going to get rubbed out." It's totally different to the thug like attacks from Hodge and Lewis.

Friday night and Carlton v Brisbane the only real tough tips this week.
Im going Geelong and Brisbane.
Collingwood are pretenders. Carlton are shite.

Don't think they're pretending to be anything more than they are. You can only beat who you have been given and so far they have just been given the teams that are lower on the ladder than where they are.

Yeah good point.
However, I call them pretenders because their are sitting second on the ladder but are far from the second best team in the comp.
To add to that, they are $1.57 to Geelong's $2.45 favourite. So the bookies think they are 20% more chance to win, which I think is inflated.
Time will tell though.
Only seen about 10 minutes of the game but pretty happy with what I've seen especially that absurd handball frenzy goal through the middle.
Not sure what's wrong with the Pies, I do rate them as one of the better sides in the league, but some of those efforts...
Early days still, I still don't feel completely comfortable. Surely all it'd take is some confidence for the Pies and they have every chance to get back into it.
Edit: Called it. They're well and truly in the game now.
End of Third: Seems like we're having trouble keeping it in our forward 50. Some poor entries and some solid defending by Collingwood.
58-81 - If we lose this what a waste.
Game: Great result, glad I took the risk and backed the Cats.
Didn't love how we played in the last half but there were plenty of promising signs from a lot of our players.
Poor, Cowan. A bit like Menzel where he has been constantly injured then only lasts 20 minutes in his comeback. Hopefully it's only a short injury.

Again, that's the beauty of the AFL fixture, where you can get an easy or hard run first and not play the top teams until later in the season. Being second this early in the year doesn't mean they are second best. Just means they have beaten the crap teams they have played. Again, not pretenders.
I have no illusions of where the Pies are at. They are kids and will be again anywhere between 7-10 on the ladder. There have been improvements already this year from the last but there is still daylight between the top 4 and us.
Great win by the Cats last night too. They came out quick at the start of the game and we never really looked like getting it back. Hopefully the Pies can bounce back in the next couple of weeks against other middle of the road teams, Tigers and Suns.
