Didak gets off

Hate to see him get off but the decision was correct, Scotland lowered his body at the last minute, it was a legitimate intended bump by Didak that has to be play on, otherwise the game is stuffed. Unfortunately, he could also have ended up getting 4 weeks, which is the problem......
 
how did that little *smile* get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how the god name can hall now get 1 week for his tackle???????

I really hate collingwood ....the maggots

and essendon, carlton and the bloody rest of them

Pickett selects victims that aren't looking and zeroes in on them without regard for the ball. He has a special skill that should be stamped out. Didak's was in general play - if you start suspending blokes for accidents it sets a bad precedent for the game.
No. Its hits to the head which should be stamped out. Your one of these people who has decided that are against fair bumps aren't you? Either that or you haven't been watching Pickett play in recent times. You're allowed to bump people as hard as you want as long as its below the head and they are within 5m of the ball. Perhaps if there were a few players at Richmond who were willing to play hard like that they'd be winning a few more games. It certainly made a difference to Melbourne.

I have no qualms about the Cannonball's style since he's been at Melbourne.

Yes, hits to the head need to be prevented where possible. It might be necessary to penalise the agressor for consequences regardless of intent.

Good calls, L2R2R
 
I think Didak should at least be up for rough play.

If your gonna bump someone instead of tackle, then you should face the consequences of your actions.
 
A joke!

How can Baker get 2 weeks for "attempting" to strike....yet Didak knocks a bloke into next week, blood everywhere, and gets off? >:(

A Collingwood in the finals doing wel is what the AFL wants..... :-X

i thought this was a sick thread about didaks adult movie collection ;D

I heard he made one of his own...involved him banging Scotland...

sorry, that was terrible...but couldn't resist...
 
On WLF tonight Derek Humphrey Bear suggested maybe the AFL should review the Didak incident, ignore the match review decision and send it to the tribunal. Poor Little Tony Shaw might think there's some chance Didak would go cos the more he tried to defend him, and argue against the tribunal deciding, the more he was sinking in quicksand.

Then they discussed the Hirdy free against Johnno. Humphry Bear said it was wrong, end of story. Poor Tony was trying his hardest to make a case for the free but had to give up he was so far out of his depth. ::)

I thought Shaw argued quite well and raised a valid point about shoulder bumps being in the spirit of the game which Humpty Dumpty glossed over with legalese garbage about "duty of care". Don't be fooled by DHS's more polished debating style which is a result of his legal training and practice.
