I know you all hate Collingwood with a passion and that's fine.
But some of your comments....like tried to kill him are ******* ridiculous.
I've acknowledged what he did by today's standards is wrong.
However, the player must expect contact in that situation and to avoid getting killed, protect himself.
Now, it wouldn't matter if a port bloke lined up a Collingwood bloke in the exact same situation, id still say the same thing.
Protect yourself at all times. He saw him coming, turn your body while giving the handball.
I've no idea how players survived in the 70's and 80's.
Oh wait yeah I do, they were taught to protect themselves in a 50/50 contest.
Plenty of guys knocked out in thr 70/80s. They just had to deal with it and get up and play the next week.
Obviously we know so much more about head injuries now and rhe effect on thr 70/80/90s are coming through.
All I'm saying is this wouldn't be an issue if the bloke protected himself.
Seems to be a lost skill.
No, it wouldn't be an issue if the bloke hadn't gone in hard, late and high. Stop putting this on the victim. "But your honour, she was showing cleavage and leg"
