Just a few comments i found interesting
"Are you serious? Craig Young was one of the hardest dudes that ever laced up a boot"
Yeah right...he was big and tough alright... also legendary for his use of the elbow or sliding knees first into a tryscoring winger (about 2 seconds after he scored) or if he came in too high he'd just drop his big fat arse on their head instead.
"Farah was holding the ball and Young in a rush to get up fell back down on him. It didn't look deliberate at all "
You seem like a fairly pleasant fellow..so this is a joke right?
"Dean Young vehemently denied the incident"
And you think he would admit to it on the eve of a grand final???
"No audio found by match review committee to support claim."
Just saw it again...he had his gob in Farah's ear whispering sweet nothings for quite a while..you'd need a pretty good mic to pick that up ..in any case the forearm to the head suggests Farah pushed the right button in return
No it's not a joke. It looked to me like Farah was holding onto the ball and Young was trying pretty hard to get back up off the ground with the ball. Once the ball slipped out, with a guy on top of him he fell back onto Farah.
It may have been deliberate, but I personally don't think it looked it. I also think he said the words "Sorry mate" immediately after he landed on him, but lip reading is not a big past time of mine, so again, I could be wrong.
In any case, Farah refused to make a complaint, and there is no onfield audio, I'd be pretty disappointed in Young if he did say it, but I guess we'll never know.
