mexican is the rumour true that a couple of boys made a trip to pollards place to talk him out off going to pongy which i hear has worked??

and merry christmas all

Yeah mate a couple lads went over there for a beer and a chat... Not sure if it had a direct effect but if it helped by 1% then it was worthwhile... He was seen the next day after his decision struggling around Wirreanda oval with a few of his mates doing some voluntary work...

Comunity Service maybe?

Kane Hewitt played for Cove before he was an Emu. Maybe we should add him to the players the Cobras have lost ? Most sides have a similar story.

Don't quote me on this but I think he's had a run with Towns before Cove.

Kane Hewitt played for is a cove junior went to West Adelaide played Reserves then to Edwardstown (when in Div1) then returned to captain cove then joined Morphett Vale. Hewitt would have been one of the best players in the SFL in the last few years and certainly one of the toughest.

dirty too ran past him one day only to recieve an elbow to the throat while making a lead from a point

[MatteeG]

Count yourself lucky asert- I know a few who have worn much worse than that....

[asert]

just really hate dirty sh1t... play the game thats what we are there for.

How could you possibly think that you could run passed an opponent, making a lead expecting to pick up an easy kick, without protecting yourself? You're not playing year 2/3 football, you're playing with the big boys now!

[asert]

throwing an elbow at someone into an adams apple and then having to gasp for air throwing up on the ground. if you rate that sh1t over running with me and beating me in the contest go and play another sport sss

What I'm saying is, why in the hell did you give him the chance?

If you're not tough you need to be smart. Obviously you are neither.

[asert]

evry one was huddled in waiting for the ball to come back from a point. how smart do you need to be. what grade do you play sss

[Bag The Points]

Gotta agree with you, Asert.
Putting in a hard physical presence is vastly different to a cheap elbow.

[SSS]

I've obviously played with a bit more success than you asert.

When I have copped one I don't cry about it like a girl, I accept that I either didn't recognise a potential problem and/or didn't protect myself properly.

It's your responsibility to protect yourself on the football field.

[asert]

did you win the c grade last year mate.

[asert]

maybe if you watched the ball not the player a bit more you would have had some higher success

[SSS]

did you win the c grade last year mate.

No mate. I'm not a C grader.

I'm now retired but I did play higher than Flaggys A grade.

Stop bleating!

Come on SSS, you're a bit harsh on Asert. I remember a game about 3 or 4 years ago between Brighton and the Emus. There was a blue and Beeching and a Brighton player were sent off and at the same time an Emu had to come off for blood. Hewitt replaced the blood player and went straight out to where there was still some push and shove, belted someone, and was duly sent off before play had even re-started. This also caused a Brighton blood rule and the interchange stewards were in melt down with 3 send offs and 2 blood rules at once.

Shit happens! But once again, it's up to you to protect yourself.

I typed it slowly that time. I hope you guys finally get it.

I'm not condoning on field violence, I'm simply saying that the onus is on you to protect yourself, especially if in the vicinity of someone with a reputation. You have to know your opponent. It's like knowing if he kicks with his left or right foot.

Sounds like Hewy got his hands on a copy of the Draper textbook.

SSS
You are not quite right there
Your onus as a player IS TO GET THE BALL, OR PREVENT YOUR OPPONENT FROM GETTING THE BALL WITHIN THE RULES.

It is the umpires job to protect you in doing so.
Thugs should be umpired out of the game as per Barry Hall.
However in lower grades where thuggery is more common you do have to be aware of the blokes that are not playing the game in the right spirit.

Knowing if a player kicks left or right, or can take a good overhead mark is PART OF THE GAME
Hitting a player either off the ball or on the way to the ball is not part of the game.

Agree with you in the fact that here are snipers and thugs that you need to protect yourself against

Thanks TY. Just one point. Only one person can have the ball at any given time.

Many other things are going on around or off the ball - tackling, chasing, shepherding, leading, blocking etc. The onus is also on you to do all of these things, not just get the ball.

[asert]

why dont you dazzle us with your success sss without giving away your identity of course. lets all hear what you have achieved in what grade.
