Roo in the back

One of the funniest thing I've seen when Roo pushed Dawson in the back and then took an uncontested mark. Dawson was squealing.

Probably neither first or last time Dawson cops it in the back and squeals! :oops:

Yes! Had a good laugh at that. The amount he's on the receiving end of a no call push in the back it must have felt good. Shame he couldn't bag it.

What I found really interesting is that Zac played similarly to the way he played with us, without giving away his weekly free kicks.

Yeah - I noticed that too - however I also noticed that he has not changed his style of play - just that he has changed jumper - and now does not infringe so much *coughs*

And what was with Roo being tackled below the knees and no free kick?

I think Leigh Fischer didn't want to look biased.

Really a rubbish player Dawson that gets protected by a team orientated defence first game plan.
As a pure footballer, there's few worse currently running around at the top level.
