No appeal by Brisbane,…?
They are, I sure would, any hope I am not sure…
Having watched some of the Grand final yesterday, I don’t think Freo will be making too many changes next saturday. I mean Sharp is brilliant at WAFL level but there are too many of his type of player at the Dockers. O’Meara has also slipped down the pecking order, O’Driscolls disposal lets him down at times. Brandon Walker may have a chance of coming in if they want more run out of the backline and the other decision will involve a guy who didnt play yesterday, Brennan Cox.
I reckon Neale will get off. It’s a huge penalty for a whack to the guts. In fact, under any other circumstances, Neale should get a medal for hitting Ginnivan.
One wouldn’t advocate outright violence in this day and age,but that Hot Dog needs a good clip every now and again.
Neale hearing been going for 2 hours. I agree with BC, I reckon theres enough doubt in that grainy footage and missing a Grand Final is a massive price to pay. He’ll be downgraded to low impact and a fine IMO
As mike says, the footage was grainy, but to me Neale came up behind Ginnivan who didn’t see it coming. And it was out of play.
And they also said that it was retaliation for something done to one of Neale’s teammates, not Neale himself.
I’m sorry, but I think it was his own fault. Guilty.
Didn’t Hipwood crunch Ginnavin legally…by legally, I mean atleast the ball was in play when Hipwood crunched Jackie…Lachie’s act sneaky and soft, no ball in sight, on the sly, from behind, a clayton’s king hit, only targeting the midriff, not the head…
Ban stands. Brisbane may take this to an appeals court as per a case involving Cripps in 2022. That was not a behind the play incident though
Lauchie Neale 4 hour appeal,just finished.
Has been upheld.And wont play in the 2026 GF.
Hope Freo win.Would be such a great day.
Hope The Prancing Pony ,fires up.
But theirs no way Freo will get away with an average,qtr.If they play 2 bad qtrs.They will lose quiet badly.
AFL equalising again. Terrible.
The run of luck for Freo continues…remarkable.
Dumb thing for an experienced player to do in a final. No matter how annoying an opposition player is. Cameras are everywhere now
How do you mean here?
By suspending Neale?
Neale should have received, an extra week for his shit tattoos
Patrick Voss last qtr goal.Was no 9 in the USA sports.Highlights of the week.
Palmed off the Sydney defender.Banana shot from the pockets.Then the celebrating.
If you got an eyeful of 2 heavily ladened tattooed persons in the Grand Final Football Budget,….uh!
Each to their own I suppose,but they couldn’t just look at the same art in an art gallery?![]()
Pearce should be rubbed out for his hairdo.
Known as Moose,…does his Hair do resemble Bullwinkle’s?
