Cost us the game tonight through his undisciplined act, stupid as it didn't achieve anything'

u serious??? it was a perfect bump, just unlucky that any contact to the head is automatically a holiday

fwiw apart from that final matchwinning goal I thought our smalls did a really good job, walters and ballantyne have cut up better small defenders than ours

If Jake King plays we win also. There is the difference.

How many goals did their smalls kick - enough to win the game!
And did helbig play a good game ( subed off)or as I would suggest Morris would have done a better job
By the way it's not a perfect bump any more if you get them in the head !

tell me what else he should have done then?!

[Penelope]

Id like to hear the answer to that too.

[camboon]

Play within the rules

[Chuck17]

Swan dived, fallen over like a pansy, run away from the contest

[Judge Roughneck]

It was a fair bump.

The game has turned to poo.

Proof. The free kick last night for attempting to win the ball. *Cotchin incident

[Penelope]

Play within the rules

doesn't answer what he should have differently.

[bojangles17]

I didnt think we d mid him so much, he may very well have been the answer

[camboon]

There smalls won them the game last night ( Morris is our best small defender) and I don't like the rule  either but if you are going to bump you cant bump the head , you can drop your knees and bump lower to miss the head or alternatively if the other player is down low you  turn your back and shepherd - I don't belie that's a reportable offence yet .   

[Penelope]

in this case the player wasnt low. morris kept low, any lower and he would have been done for taking his legs out 

the skunk caused himself to be hit, rather than prepare for the bump he tried to spin out of the firing line, but left his head there.

there is nothing morris could have done different other than not bump.

if thats what they want just outlaw it all together and call the game gaelic football

I agree.

Regardless of the rule or how he was suspended, his absence was massive last night as way Kings. Without Morris to blanket at least one of their little ferrets we lost the game. For years teams small forwards have carved us up until Morris arrived. Morris not being in the side made a huge difference.

Umpires allowed themselves to be influenced by the crowd last night and these ridiculous new rules are a blight on the game.

[camboon]

Yep. don't bump if your going to bump the head
