Commentators are so full of shitt. He 100% did it on purpose and could easily have put that poor prikk in a wheel chair for life, if not killed him.
Should have been gone for the season. Did he even get a week for being so weak?
Someone should make a gif of the last shot where it clearly shows the head snapping around the post and the neck bending, with the word "COURAGEOUS!! flashing throughout, and post it all over Hawthorn forums big footy etc.
Hopefully it would go viral, … so it’s never forgotten what a dog Hodge really is.
He got 2 weeks for it.
Not long after, he stood up, ran at a player and knocked him down with an elbow to the face.
I think he got 2 for that also.
Because it was courageous.
Back in time for finals, cause Gil has a million in tickets to sell. Looking back at it, shocking act, shocking (not) with the reaction from the commentators. Do they just think that every dirty act on the field is unintentional?
It’s a farkin joke, is what it is. It’s not hard to see whether something is unintentional, careless, or intentional. The MRP is a mockery of shambolic interpreted ‘rules’.
A bit surprised Walla didn’t ‘go’ for that, didn’t really look like he was playing the ball (assume it was a marking contest)
Hurley one was good, threw him to the turf, but let him get his arms free enough to protect himself. Looks like Danger milked it a little with the slump in the gutter
Looking at Hurls one, I reckon he’s a bit lucky he didn’t get whacked. Not only is there a bit of a sling, and into the fence,… but he can clearly see & knows they are both out of bounds when he does the “Hurling” to the ground.
Try reversing the jumpers in that gif, and think of what we’d be saying.
While that could be right, Danger tried to take him on and attempted to brush his hand away and push him off. If Hurley was a smaller player it would have been effective.
The tackle begin in play and Danger being forced more to the boundary in a split second lead to the throw out of bounds. It was a big play that set up the rest of the quarter.
