Stupid hit on a Roos player, well and truly will get atleast 3 weeks. Thoughts from people who seen it also?

Stupid boy. Crawf is GAWWWWNNNNN!
Bloody oath, at least 4. I think he's got a few points ready and waiting for his next tribunal visit.

Cowardly act. Has gone down in my estimation a long way after that. Pathetic.

judging by what has warranted 6 weeks this season, i'd say crawford will get 2 weeks, possibly 3 (not sure about his record).

If I didnt know any better (and I dont), I'd suspect that Crawf might not be playing on next year then.

What the **** was that all about?! :confused:
Minimum 6 weeks, could easily get 10 weeks. Seriously, that was as intentional as you'll ever see and was a complete dog act, total snipe, really do hope he gets 10 weeks.

Just chatting with a mate about it and I was wondering, since Pratt came in to lay a shepphard did Crawford sidestep and then stick his arm out? If he did, then he is in big trouble. I'd need to see it again. The sidestep sort of takes it a bit beyond being a reflex action and indicates some thought process.

He has two weeks hanging over him for similar acts on Peter Ball & Ryley Dunn in the Pre season.

So he'll be lucky to getaway with 5 weeks.
Dirty sniping hit,but not unexpected from the dealer.

Are you serious, i'm not saying what he did was right or that he wont get 4 weeks but its footy & thats happenend a million times, surely you cant lose respect for a bloke from 1 little brain fade which wasn't even that bad.
Was at the game and didn't think there was too much in the incident when watching it live. I sort of caught it at the corner of my eye and didnt see exactly what happened, and obviously they didn't show it on replay. I heard a loud "smack" and thought he had hit the player's head whilst trying to fend off a sheperd.
What actually happened?
I only wish he did it on Sinclair.

agree nothing much more than the ole fashioned coat hanger, although the tv camera angle was a little off... still it looked like he got the kangaroo player with an open hand.... i might be wrong though.
But hey it's Crawford & whenever a champion of the game commits a stupid offence like that we should string him up & burn down his house.... etc... ;)
I reckon 4-5 weeks should be about it. Pretty low act for a respected player in the AFL.

Maybe he has a secret - he's going to announce his retirement ;) Only kidding, he'll keep going until he gets injured, which is what spells the end of 33+ year olds.
Yeah it was a low act, should get 4 weeks.
I think his points total will be around 400-500 for that.
Dunno if he has a good record, or points hanging over though.

3 or 4 weeks minimum i would think. its been along time since there has been a strike that bad.
Power King
16 Sep 2007, 01:07
Always liked and respected Crawford.
Obviously did something stupid, and in my opinion will get 2-3 weeks, but his reaction afterwards is what i took note of. he knew he ****ed up and didn't seem to shirk this fact.
im still a fan.

Just shows how soft football has become....nobody would have blinked an eyelid at something like that 20 years ago. Now every man and his boyfriend wants Crawf rubbed out for 6 weeks.
Just imagine if Leigh Matthews king hit on Neville Bruns, or Mal Brown taking on the whole Victorian team had happened today. The BF boards would go into meltdown.

Well you can't have the Power playing someone who has a full team to choose from now can you? Don't worry claf, I think Corey Jones will miss at least.

Would have got one week if the Hawks had won the game. Now that they are out, he will get 3-4.

2 weeks.

Probably 3 weeks.

Agree with Miner. It was bad, but it is not like it is going to be sent to the tribunal directly or independently reviewed. We have a points system.
It was in play, high contact, forceful, bla bla bla. Will get 3 weeks. To say he will get 5-6 just means you do not understand the system.
