Did anyone see the bumb Hille put on O'Bree in the 2nd I think it was. I don't think there was anything in it, however he did make contact with the head and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to the MRP, and we all know what will probably happen there if it does

If Hille goes for this, it will be the beginning of the end of my interest in this game.

From what I saw on replay, he avoided contact to the head. It was the pinball reaction from O'Bree that jolted his head into Dyson's causing the collision.
What BD said...!

There didnt seem to be much in it. However with the inconsistency of the Match review Commitee, you never know.

Channel 10 replaying it a hundred times and having Wallsy and co going on about him being in trouble wont help either

Our great game is seriously under threat from the complete dismantling of the physicality of play, the introduction of pointless rules and the complete over-umpiring of the matches.
Soccer has made 2 rule changes in a hundred years - is it any surprise that 50,000 people turn up to the Dome to watch the a A-League final full of weekend hack amateurs. Can you imagine the problems the AFL will have if the A-League had some half decent players running around!!!
Aussie Rules has been losing its appeal gradually now for more than a decade. As a TV sport, I have to say unless the Dons are playing its bloody awful to watch now. I watched the 84 Grand Final on DVD the other day and was blown away by how much better the game was to watch. Hard running, one on ones, heavy tackling, pack marks, f*** all hand balls
What we have today is a basketballesque concoction of rules formally known as Australian Football

The MRP reviewed the incident and threw it out. Sense prevails for once.

Fatprick Smith was on KB's show this morning on SEN bleating that Hille should have been suspended as there is no "negligible" contact specified in the modified rules.
The game is in poor shape as it is. My interest in it is severely waning. Where i used to watch 3-4 games of a weekend, i'm now only watching games that involve Essendon.
