Clarko was right, Papley does milk frees!
Problem now is that umpires will have him stamped as a stager and he'll get less frees that are genuinely there, not happy with this :-(
Plus he missed the goal from that staging!

The fact is Maynard used his forearm to push Papley out of the contest. It was clearly a push in the back when he was in the air. The way the umpiring was going there is a fair chance that the free otherwise would not have been paid. Tom let himself down by missing the goal.
On before the game Reiwolt produced 2 boots that are widely used with metal stops. He and Brown both ran their hands down the stops and said they couldn't feel the difference between the plastic and metal stops. Brown said the metal stops are used in wet weather to prevent slipping over. He said moulded soles are not good in wet weather so where do we go from here. Neither Wicks or the Swans are at fault. Move on.
Interesting, thanks.
Would have gone much differently if Buckley had raised his concerns discreetly. Another opposition coach with a drive-by.
Straight into the fire for the lad, Wicks. I'm backing him to repeat it next week. The poise showed in his first game suggests a strong mind.
The #studgate controversy does currently seem to be very light on facts.
Is control of a game when u are ahead on the scoreboard but u rarely have had the ball
Or is it when u are ahead on the scoreboard and u do have the ball
Buckley said that he felt that the pies controlled the game and were extremely efficient !!!
SEN has this about #Studsgate. If its true that the players remonstrated with Wicks before the game that's really not good.
Magpies players questioned Sam Wicks' studs choice prior to Isaac Quaynor injury
COLLINGWOOD players approached Sam Wicks before the game to question him about his boots. It can be revealed that several Pies players noticed Wicks’ choice of steel studs ahead of the opening bounce and told him they were not allowed...
Wicks was wearing the Nike Tiempo Legend 8, which comes with a soft ground version that has a mix of steel and moulded studs.
The Swans said in their statement that: "... These boots are understood to be widely worn by players across the competition." If so, why would Collingwood allegedly single Wicks out? Shame SEN hasn't named one of the players.
