I hadn't seen the incident so I searched for it.

He looks at the Freo player and then elbows him in the face.

This is a complete joke, although not at all a surprise.

Hawkins throws an elbow and strikes an unsuspecting opponent in the neck and gets off after they change it from high contact to body contact.

The Cats were successful in their bid to have Hawkins' charge for striking Fremantle's Luke Ryan with a stray elbow downgraded to body contact (as opposed to high contact)

Under tribunal guidelines, "high contact is not limited to contact to the head and includes contact above the shoulders".

Jeff Gleeson QC, for the AFL, claimed "the neck is above the shoulders, at least on most of us".

Soldo's was considered high contact when he struck Worpel in the neck defending himself. In both cases neither opponent required medical treatment.

Spin that wheel!

Clearly a SHocking outcome.

If anyone was under any further illusions whether Christian should be there, the decision today on Mayes has confirmed that he has to go.

He has left the door open for Port to appeal now because he graded it as careless. If that wasn't intentional I'm not sure you can actually say anything on the field is. The ball was well gone, you saw Mayes eyes never left Dunkley (ie, they didn't follow the ball), his body position never showed any indication of doing anything other than collecting Dunkley.

I was expecting Intentional, low impact, high contact which would be the same penalty but to not grade it intentional is ridiculous IMO.

just had a look. wow. Mayes lined him up and connected. that's intentional all day.
Christian climbs further up the idiot ladder... is he mates with Koch (another idiot) ?

Yeah I don't understand it. He never once looked at the ball, how could it be careless?

Yeah I don't understand it. He never once looked at the ball, how could it be careless?

Hope he rolls the dice at the tribunal.... and they up the ante, which I think they can do?

Jack gets a fine for the hit on jonas and another one on rockclif, dusty & marlion a fine also. But young diver gets nothing

Four fines

Jack $1500 for "rough conduct" against Rockliff (can't remember this one)
Dusty $1750 for striking Rockliff

No fine for Ward either?!?!

WTF is going on with this game? Rapidly turning into a complete joke

 

[DavidSSS]

Disgraceful

How was Dixon running through Baker not rough conduct?

FFS it is at times like this I wonder whether we should take the biggest club out of the biased AFL.

Absolute joke.

This is getting ridiculous.

Ward stages so bad that he gets death threats from supporters who have just had enough!

MRO: Nah, that was fine!

 

[Mr Brightside]

This is getting ridiculous.

Yep , they never ever miss an opportunity to whack us, i know I’d be a tad bias but ffs , if there is any chance Whack

Par for the course; it's Richmond. The AFL rides on our coat tails whether it be revenue from match day attendances or ridiculous fines for our players.

How that Port player Wood Duck didn't get fined for staging is beyond me. Biggest staging act I've seen all year.

But for some reason the AFL is hellbent on rogering its cash cow at every opportunity.

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Shuey kicking Curnows legs as he runs past was more dangerous than Jack, Dusty and Marlion combined.

I bet it's ignored

I used to giggle when people said there's an anti-richmond agenda coming from the AFL. Now I'm not so sure.
