We are at times. Occasionally you know who you can target.

That sort of behavior turns footy into a tawdry spectacle for tawdry individuals. I pay money to see guys like Gazza play great footy, not to see a bunch of buffoonish clowns smack him for 4 quarters.

Likewise, but you'd be surprised how many football supporters like a bit of biffo.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

No-one smacked him at all. They bumped and pushed him, tackled him extra hard, told him all about it after, and made him physically earn every kick. What was wrong with it? Nothing at all unfair. You might pay money to see play well against us but I prefer we reduced his influence so we can win.

My definition of biffo is more in the line of all in brawls, dust ups etc. This is not the same IMO. 18 against 1 is cowardly, tawdry stuff.

If every single game you watched featured this sort of behaviour, you would very quickly figure out what is wrong with it.

Think he got rubbed out?

But you were right earlier - umpires will be watching him pretty closely in future.

 Yep you are right, suspended..he wont be playing this week...his absence might give Gibbs or Murphy some breathing space..

Alot of games do. Intimidation is a part of the game.

Paul isn't talking about your standard push and shove. A whole squad targetting one guy is a bit too much. The umpires need to start paying frees to stamp this crap out.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

That's not intimidation. The Roughead hit on Hannebery in the 1st q of the 2014 GF - that's intimidation.
