The two clowns we had today obviously didn't get the memo about sling tackles (or fling tackles or whatever they're bloody called)
One of our blokes copped one, right in front of two umps on the sidelines and there wasn't even a send off, let alone a report.
Meanwhile, our player has a grade 2 AC tear which may need surgery and as of about half an hour ago still couldn't remember what happened.
Joke.

good win by HV. great game I thought. HV just a bit better in the setups at stoppages and a bit better entry into the forward lines once the ball was cleared across half back.
Thought the umpires were good myself. Obviously they got some things wrong but did every player hit a target? obviously not, so should not expect perfection.
didn't think much of the tackle myself, a sling and a strong tackle are two different things.
unfortunate for the injurey but we do play Australian Rules Football...unlike what we see on TV which is a hybrid game between aussie rules and netball.
