You should be thanking a certain poster for his sage advice which you've clearly taken on board - your recent posting is the very definition of nuancedhe didnt "plough" him tho. He hit him hard enough to knock him over, but not so hard he couldnt get straight back up. he didnt hit his head (IMO) and he didnt cause concussion.
if bumping is still allowed, Pickett executed the perfect example.
"ploughing"? geez Big R, you ought to be working for the AFL, or the Sun Herald ..His mistake was ploughing the guy

Yes if he got off after Hardwick said that, the Richmond haters would have been beside themselves and it would have been a story. Didn’t need to say itCase dismissed
I wouldn't be happy with Hardwick.
He never gave it a chance to hit the tribunal.
Not sure why Hardwick had to comment.
Was he using Pickett to keep the hyenas off lynch? Because there's not much to cling to then a coach burning his own player.
what did you think of the geelong bloke who concussed higgins with a bump? suspension or good bump?My take is if you elect to bump when you don't have to then you have to make contact nowhere near the head. If there is even a question as to if you hit someone in the head I think you are in trouble.
Call it sat him on his arse if you prefer. He should have blocked instead of bumping.

I thought at the time that Marlion would go. Any time you run past the ball and bump someone, you will be suspended.
Hardwick is behaving like he wants out of his contract. Too many stupid comments in one week to be anything else.
I reckon he wants the GC or GWS gig and to get away from Melb and his ex missus.
His stupid comment list from this week.
1. Encouraging people to take drugs
2. Saying Pickett's bump is 1 week under the law before the appeal hearing
3. Giving Dusty his blessing to leave at the end of the year
4. Confirming he will go at the end of our era
Benny can't be happy.
Unless of course you are Patrick Dangerfield!
1. My kids has flu and is on Amoxicillin and Panadol. Get this - the DOCTOR made him take drugs!Hardwick is behaving like he wants out of his contract. Too many stupid comments in one week to be anything else.

It's what I like to call Symphony in the Key of Pain ...Pickett rated his level of speed and aggression in the bump as a 3 out of 10. Pity the poor bloke he gives a "10" effort to.
Didn't even touch his head.what did you think of the geelong bloke who concussed higgins with a bump? suspension or good bump?
He got a lifetime of lost grand final memories from the game. No suspension will hurt as much as his salty tears for years to come
