It wasn’t that bad in the sense that it didn’t deserve a month or anything, but if they wanted a video to show exactly the sort of contact that will get you suspended, it’s that. Chose to bump, got there late, left the ground, pushed the elbow out, clear high contact. That’s a week.
If redpath played for us we’d be burning down AFL house
and the difference between the Buddy on Hodge hit is???
How the heck does Redpath get 3 weeks for that?
No no no - you don’t understand.
He got 2 weeks for the incident, with an added week for having a bad record. Minus 4 weeks for being a Bulldog. Then added 5.5 weeks for being a bloodnut, take off 3.5 for the Cotchin Clause, 7 weeks off for the Buddy Bonus. However - being a forward, he cops 4 extra weeks for hurting a defender, 2 for being stupid and getting caught, and 1 more because he appealed. It’s not that difficult.
Is that 2 for being stupid plus 2 for getting caught, or 2 for “being stupid and getting caught”?
See, now, that’s where it get’s difficult …
Carlisle got off and Z Jones cleared.
Jonas?
two weeks
Their best defender gone for week 1.
Please let us play Port
How did Vince get off?
What’s his name Darcy from Freo got a week too
So they literally don’t have a ruck vs us on Sunday
If we somehow get passed week 1 we will probably play someone like Bitchmond or Melbourne and I’d really back us in for either of those considering both of their recent history and lack of finals experience.
And no mention of the (let’s be kind) reckless punch-to-the-head shepherd on Green.
That carlol was reported twice and cleared is why we can’t trust umps with a red card rule in afl as much as it is a good idea
The red card idea is still by far the worst proposed rule i have EVER heard. Whoever first suggested that rule should never be allowed to talk about football ever again
