Unders.
Itâs all physics
A roundhouse swing creates a lot of momentum and doesnât need the full force of someoneâs weight and muscle strength behind it to create a high level of force when it impacts
Even if Brashaws momentum away was actually meaningful compared to the swing of the fist, it wouldnât matter anyway. It doesnât reduce the force of the hit, it just accelerates his already existing movement.
8 weeksâŚhmmmmmm, sounds like he will miss the first 3 or so in the red and black next year.
About right imo.
Interesting.
Does this incident make Gaff more or less likely to stay?
On one hand you could argue he would feel that he owe WC now.
Or,he realizes more than ever that its important hes within arms length of his family back in Vic.
I still canât believe Halls was 10 down to 7 with a guilty plea
The injury seems to be the determinant of the length of suspension. Jordan Lewis got 3 weeks ( including 1 week for bad record) for a deliberate off the ball hit that resulted in a hairline fracture of Crippsâ jaw.
Lewis brushed off criticism and nothing more was said.
Donât think it would change a thing tbh
He would only have copped four weeks if he had combed his hair.
Itâs a great point. Full force roundhouse punch. I never understood why he didnât get 15-20.
That ruling is a continued problem for the league as it was manifestly inadequate and itâs now used as the baseline âpsycho punchâ penalty by which all others are judged
And how could anyone plead not guilty to that punch? Especially a guy with his record.
From memory he broke his arm in that match as well. So he really only served a 4/5 week suspension, after recovery.
Is it confirmed that he knocked teeth out?
Pretty common to assume teeth are gone when itâs actually a broken jaw.
Anyway, 8 seems a bit heavy for my liking, shouldâve been 6-7 tops.
Is it confirmed that he knocked teeth out?
I believe 4 teeth were displaced. Iâm no dentist but assume that is loosened but still in place thanks to the mouth guard.
They were bent back into his mouth. Have had to be bent back in place but are likely nerve dead and he will in a few years need implants
Can he play in our jlt games?
One way or the other, ⌠heâll be available for ANZAC Day.
Thatâs all that matters.
Found it interesting that woosha was one of his character references, obviously he still has a good relationship. Obviously he went on a quick detour to the hangar before his hearing todayâŚget KEEEEN. BRING!
Will ch9 have a Footy Classified special lols
Howâs the media now salivating for a Red card system, they canât even get the score review system right FFS!!!
Wait until a player is sent off incorrectly in a big game, there will be pandemonium.
Iâll bet good money that the first player sent off incorrectly will be from EFC.
