Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

How the hell does Tippet and buddy only get 1 week and Gibbs gets 2? The AFL really love the Northern states.

I am bewildered with this one too.

Gibbs - reckless tackle, but not trying to kill him (and from my perspective Gray actually played some role by doing everything to stay standing and bust the tackle ... his core strength contributing to the strength of the sling) = 2 weeks

Franklin - tried to knock Edwards into next week, really was a snipe with no other intention but to seriously hurt = 1 week

What sort of message does it send?

All my posts were

I'm the only bloke here to not of done this.

Not one.

Simply put. It's ok to strike people and maybe cop a week max.

Just don't injure them out for the game.

I have to say you know you've read every thread on the page when you are clicking on the one started every few months by langers1971.

He's a fighter. Gotta hand it to him.

Pretty sure you wandered in by accident one day and never left ...

 

[King of Ruin]

On two accounts? Can I even call the 2nd time an accident?

I'm a bit late but my man crush on Sammy Mitchell has increased tenfold after the events on the weekend.

Let's be honest, we've all wished someone would do it

Gold Coast Suns, what a debacle, AFL have a lot to answer for...

Millions over the past five years and draft concessions, pisses me off

Questions need to be asked of their leadership, aswell

Questions will never be asked, they are not Carlton.

No sporting code has ever succeeded there. Should have been given to Tassie.

 

[HBF]

It's a shame ANYBODY still talks through that platform....

Yep.
Complete and utter rubbish that drivel.

 

[rp84]

Those buddy and tippet suspensions are a joke...

Couldn't agree more. Buddy ran past the football with the intention of sniping someone. Wtf.

always a strong supporter of the next team in tassie.

Smaller pop, but there is literally nothing to do there. They are a huge footy state. They would get 30k every week for their own team.

Outrageous. Seems that Sydney are back into the 'free-ride' category

Just ******* LOL.

Hird is the biggest * knuckle I've seen in the game in my time.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I am still perplexed as why to clubs are not told if one of their players has a strike against them. That to me seems really strange. If I was the club I would want to know so I could assist the player involve.

Liked for the use of the term "* knuckle".

By the sound of it, this GCS Coke thingy is going to explode tomorrow.

Easy enough for Karmichael Hunt to be portrayed as the Pied Piper, but Geebers he didn't put a gun to 12 players heads.

 

[HARKER]

Yeah, the GC coke problem

Should all the truth come out, we'd be shocked (but I don't know why) as to just how much this goes on.............at every club.

Can tell you from experience, depending on your body fat, the white stuff is out of your system in 72 hours. Keep on the water and keep your hair short and it's a fine line (sic) but can be done.

GC haven't any more issues with drugs than Hawthorn, Collingwood, West Coast etc have.

The thing is that it's not a problem unless it's a problem. I wouldn't have been happy having seen Juddy doing a few lines but who cares what players do out of season? All of a sudden, doing a bit of coke is tantamount to having a serious issue.............says who?

Heard a couple of times today, player gets caught drinking, he's outed and suspended on a first offence.

The illicit stuff comes into question, and the wagons are circled.

Yeah, it's interesting and maybe somewhat unbalanced.

I've no idea as to how many players have done some blow from time to time but if someone fronted up with data at 50%, it wouldn't surprise. Who cares?
