Post subject: Tribunal decision tonight - ridiculous! | |
|
Hodge copped 3 weeks - fair enough, I reckon there is a case for 4.
May from the Suns lost his appeal, gets 3 weeks. Lewis only got 2 for his hit.
May's was accidental and truly in play. Lewis was clearly intentional, reckless, dirty and an awful, awful look for this great game. How he gets 2 and May gets 3 is utterly ridiculous. _________________ kymbo |

In my opinion, the Lewis incident was worse than Hodge's.
Lewis should have got 4, Hodge 3, and May 2 down to 1. _________________ I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within. |

Hodge should have got 4 .....no questions asked IMO.
Lewis at 3 should have stayed at 3. Period
So overall I think they [snip] it up ............ Again.

Hodge with minimal provocation stood up and threw a forearm intentionally into another players jaw. 4 weeks every day of the week.
How many did Barry hall get for Staker? Now wait for all the puffed up chests to tell me "staker got knocked out" and "Barry hall had a closed fist not a forearm" hoopla.
4 weeks every day.......
Sidebottom also says hi by the way. [snip]. _________________ No Pressure, No Diamonds

I can see how you can argue that Lewis hit was worse than Hodge. Lewis lined Goldy up, Hodge just lashed out brainlessly.
I maintain that May's was accidental and had no recklessness or carelessness about it. _________________ kymbo |

Mays is ridiculous, just something that happens in a contact sport. Had eyes on the ball, ball was within 5 metres, nothing to answer not even a free kick.
Hodge I thought 3 down to 2 but it went straight to tribunal, Lewis I reckon 2 _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Yep, it was. Both going for the ball, with eyes only for the ball. OMG!! That's why they appealed it, somehow, common sense did not win. _________________ kymbo |

May took his eye of the ball (watch the footage) and got Rockliff in the head with the bump.
I do think his intention was pure in that he knew if he gathered the ball first he would be instantly tackled so he tried to be smart with his actions but unfortunately for him got him high.
The penalty is much to harsh but if you elect to bump and get someone in the head you know you'll probably be looked at. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Hodge was never going to get more than 3 given that's the precedent set with Yarran earlier in the season |

isn't Hodge a well known sniper in League ranks, hardly the ball player the media go on and on about him, cant wait for all these dawk thugs too get older and get smashed by a young Pies outfit, too. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Think it was about right?
AFL have always said that accident or not the head must be protected, he failed to execute a proper bump even though intentions were right. The guy got knockout and couldn’t play anymore and may miss this week. Both Goldstein & Spitter played on.
Pretty simple TBH.
