Is this in the field of play while Guelfi was in act of disposing of the ball? Doesn’t look like it to me.
Surely “the line” is the bit where the light green takes over from the darker green. That’ll be what some say.
Line or no line (and I think it was clearly over the line), isn’t there also a rule about unduly rough play, which applies on the ground proper? To me this would fall under that.
That’s reasonably conclusive.
My diagnosis: BAD BABYSITTING.
Duty of care.
Play down the country, people get sling into cars and horse ■■■■.
I hope we return the favour when he’s in Melbourne. Farking thug act from the POS McGovern.
BTW when do we actually get a decision on mcgovern? Tonight?
So by virtue of this reasoning when hodge drove a player into the post, it was in the field of play, thus no further action required?
McGovern- 1 week
Pretty happy with no suspensions for Belly or Redman. Luck of the draw with MRP
Bellcho $3K,Redman $2K, Clarke $1K (pushing someone into the path of an umpire)
Redman very lucky. It was low impact but that’s not nice.
McGovern the luckiest of the bunch.
Eh.
No different to getting a few weeks off work for whacking a guy on a footy field but a few years if it’s off it.
Tbell is incredibly lucky imo.
It’s laughable how far away they’ve moved from the head is sacrosanct in recent years.
Amazing isn’t it. Last year would have been 1 at least.
Bargain IMO.
I had to read this very carefully indeed.
How the flippin’ heck did Bellchambers get off? I was already planning my “Z Clarke is fckn sh*t” posts for Friday.
It was a pragmatic decision.
Thursday night is a primetime game. AFL too concerned with its brand to have Zac Clarke running around.
