at least 3 given the ruling of 'careless' I thinkStewart sent straight to Tribunal, so will get at least 4 weeks:
Match Review: All-Australian Cat learns fate for Prestia bump
The match review for Saturday's round 15 games has been completedwww.afl.com.au
Racist bastards IMO.I have only just got my internet working after a 36 hour outage so have still to watch the game but it does seem as though Pickett should just donate part of his wages every week direct to the AFL to save them having to go through the rigmarole of investigating and fining him
Bloody pathetic on the careless ruling. Old school lined him up n put the shoulder block on a player who was wide open. Intentional every day of the week.at least 3 given the ruling of 'careless' I think
One would be the instigator, the other bloke would just be trying to get free or defend himself. Obvious why Foosh jumped in but he was always gunna make a donation to AFL house again.Genuine query, that baffles me most weeks… how can one player out of a consortium of at least 2, cop the fine for wrestling… is said person putting himself in a full Nelson?
That’s weird. You could raise your arms in their direction without a 50m penalty a couple of weeks ago.Fyfe cleared for don't argue on the flog?? I thought just 'touching' these precious petals is automatic suspension no matter what the reason was. How's Toby thinking?
Why don’t they just save time and fine him for the remaining 8 games.
Gill won’t touch this. Can we get Josh Frydenberg’s comment?We can all rest assured that if the tribunal issue an inadequate suspension the AFL will step in and increase it.
Not as long as 8 weeks, but totally agree. If Hall's intentional hit to Staker was 6 weeks, then that's what I'd prefer.Listened to the David King /Gerard Whateley discussion re Stewart incident on SEN this morning.
The discussion was led by King, however Whateley supported everything he said. I have changed my opinion of King.
I am paraphrasing:
“Good character, didn’t mean to do it, coach supports him, made a phone call to Dion.....it’s all absolute crap and means nothing in assessing the incident.
Think of Dion who will be carrying the consequences of this hit for not just a couple of weeks but the rest of his life.
Assessed as Careless? Are you kidding me? He ran past the ball and knocked a player out, Intentional every day of the week. King was hoping the tribunal reassessed it as Intentional before hearing the case. A penalty of up to 8 weeks was mentioned by King.”
As I said , Kings thoughts aligned exactly with a lot of ours on PRE.
Just thought I’d share.
Yep, I was surprised when 8 weeks was mentioned (hope my hearing isn’t failing me).Not as long as 8 weeks, but totally agree. If Hall's intentional hit to Staker was 6 weeks, then that's what I'd prefer.
NoIf they're not willing to introduce the red card to offset a player going down in instances like this, then one game from the suspension should be reserved for the next game the 2 teams meet.
Kingsight has been good recently. Quite open in his criticism of the AFL.Listened to the David King /Gerard Whateley discussion re Stewart incident on SEN this morning.
