They have done this in the past. So have club's when they been able to track down members (if they are members of course)

Will be interesting to see if the Bumblings have the courage to out their members who continually do this

I didn’t like it.

I wouldn’t like it when opposition players have done it and I’m not going to pretend he didn’t accentuate the push, it’s a form of cheating.

How many times in the past has Puopulo, flopped in the goalsquare and been given a free hit?
Joel Selwood at his knee buckling best?
Matthew Lloyd Was under question during his career.

Grimes has some history with staging and luckily he has stopped his head ducking ways from early in his career.
As one of preeminent defenders in the game he doesn’t need to do these acts but only let his footy prowess and skill win him the contests.
I hope I never see him do it again.

The discussion was Essendon supporters online abuse of Grimes and Vlaustin. Ward previously. Grimes has staged once in almost 200 games. I don’t call that a history. Thanks for taking the focus off the real point!
the history I was referring to was the ducking for head high contact. He doesn’t do it anymore.
I don’t like the abuse players receive either as it’s unnecessary, as are social media platforms (not OER  ;)) I don’t participate in any except this one.

I still didn’t like the dive as much as I didn’t like when Gryan Miers flopped when Houli ran passed him.
I thought the boos at Miers were warranted the whole game after that incident.

i wish izzy folau did the same thing to some of his trolls. There would be 100's lining up in a court room.

some of the rubbish directed at his family and kids was criminal.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.
