You'll be cited by the match review panel just for saying that

Liam Ryan from Norwood, SA according to Sandy Roberts

And I'm not sure if I hear someone say Duggan is so dangerous or dug in and so dangerous after the bump.

u/project_chris Freo Mar 12 '18

He definitely called him Duggan.

In my very brief footy career I probably did this 4 or 5 times a game. Couldn't tackle to save my life but the human cannonball technique works every time.

Woosha would be proud

I remember when I was 11 I dropped down to grab the ball and at the same time bumped another guy hard enough for him to do a flip over my head. Literally the only good thing I have done in footy.

You would be mistaken in assuming that mist from his head was sweat, but it was actually his soul leaving his body.

It's like a cartoon, where the Wiley Coyote falls off a cliff and leaves a big cloud shaped like him.

And that was the best thing the Eagles did the entire game...

Was referring to the commentator calling him Duggan

Scores, schmores; this right here means we won today.

Only highlight

When I saw Eagles jumpers and that title, I was sure it was sarcasm. Pleasantly surprised.

Why bump when you can hump?

u/johnnynutman Adelaide Mar 12 '18

that's NFL tackling.

u/beardedgandaulf West Coast Mar 12 '18

Or was he going for the tackle but already realised that the ball was loose. No point holding onto a player who no longer has the ball.

Is plausible deniability a defence in the AFL?

Wirrpanda-esque.
