Re: Jake King (Merged)
They ought to try and get a transcript of the umpires' discussion of this during the game. They took until the second quarter to decide that Jake King should be the subject of an investigation into a first quarter incident.

Yep, wasn't going to go with it but this is the truth. Think the funeral was held this week. Say what you will about Jake but he is a fiercely loyal & honest bloke who puts his family and mates before just about anything.

Very sad. All things considered, Kingy did well to restrain himself under immense provocation. McGrath is lucky he didn't get knocked out. I wanted to knock him out without having gone through anything like Kingy had gone through.

Re: Jake King (Merged)
Apart from claiming it wasn't King, I don't see the basis for a challenge. It couldn't be seen as less than reckless (it was a deliberate smack to the mouth); can't get lower than low impact; and it was certainly high contact.
I guess the only thing is he won't get longer.

Was it though ? A deliberate smack to the mouth ? My recollection was a fair bit of pushing & shoving & more than one person involved. Had it been someone like Chris Judd involved I doubt it would have been looked at too much.

I thought it was just a scuffle as well until I ran the footage step by step. It's not clear, but you can see an arm swing out from behind Kings right side with the fist clipping McGrath on the mouth. From the body positions it has to be King. Vickery has turned away wrestling with another Lions player.

Just had a look at the afl site and I reckon I was looking at the wrong vision. The incident that opened McGraths lip would have to be the one where King jumper punches him surely? Could that rate as negligent and would it make a difference to the suspension?

Re: Jake King (Merged)
Yeah McGraths evidence didn't help the prosecution. Did all he could to play it down. Old school stuff, as much as he could get away with. Good to see him telling the truth. ;D
