Man I love Lachie Neale. In my eyes he is by a street the best player in the comp, and comes across as a genuinely good guy. Surely a lock for the Brownlow this year.

Article by Nick Reiwolt in the Hun today bemoans the fact that players getting into the face of other players is creeping into the game and he doesn't like it. Article goes with a pic of Papley giving it to Mitchell and smaller picture of Pittard and Murphy incident. Two entirely different incidents. Papley didn't touch Mitchell whereas Pittard comes off the contest and knocks over Murphy who was merely a bystander, but no mention of either incident. He did however bring up an ancient incident when Robbie Muir had his hair ruffled and promptly turned around and belted the player. He forgot to mention that Muir was a pure thug. Funny how others on Fox this week thought it great that a bit of personality is coming back into the game. Very shallow article. What a bland individual is Nick.
By the way, giving another player a spray when he has beaten him hands down has been a part of the game forever.
I wonder if Riewoldt bothered to find out the story behind the Papley incident. Papley said that at the stoppage before the goal, Mitchell said to Papley that he hadn't done much today and Papley replied Just you wait. A few seconds later Papley kicked the goal on him so of course he was going to have a go at Mitchell.
I know. I just think it's bull@@@@ though. You beat the guy in a contest, so what, move on. You are probably five minutes away from losing a
contest yourself. For some reason acting like a five year old and "rubbing it in" has become "injecting some personality into the game".
I was hoping our game would be more of a contest than the rest of the round to date, not to be sadly! Mostly big wins by the dominant side so far.
I do enjoy watching Brisbane. Some questionable umpiring decisions but they played well and were entertaining.
August...must be close to having to make a call on Grand Final location now, surely?

I agree, and kids see this @@@@ and behave in the same manner. There's nothing cool about being obnoxious. It's invariably a backman that has to deal with this. As if they aren't up against it enough already with opposition blocks and dubious free kicks called against them. You only need to breathe on a forward these days to be penalised.
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
