Yep carry over points only for a broken jaw,Marley Williams handed a 12 month suspended jail sentence for GBH.
Why am I not surprised.
Seems like the MRP are running the WA judicial system.
Hodge like ruling after his hit on Murphy...
Well how come Newman got jail time and he had the same WA judicial system. Maybe more a Collingwood thing going on. To my mind both Newman and Marley deserve jail time even if it was a shorter sentence. Newman would not be happy of Marley's suspended sentence.
In the Newman case, he deliberately set out to * that guy up. He bragged about hunting him down on social media and has expressed no remorse.

2 different cases and both got punishments Marley is on the lighter side of the spectrum but if he screws up again he goes away no questions asked.
Also reduces the need for minimum sentences and the over population of prisons and the burden on the tax payers.

His hit on Murphy was nothing but an accident. I'm Murphys biggest fan and I wasn't angry or upset about that. Nothing untoward at all.Yep carry over points only for a broken jaw,

Still don't like Hodge but.

I actually don't mind him. I just can't stand watching him because the commentators make you think he's the second coming
Commentators are all over many of the Hawks players, Cyril, Burgoyne, Mitchell, Roughy and Hodge in particular.I actually don't mind him. I just can't stand watching him because the commentators make you think he's the second coming

Mitchell deserves more love. He's my favourite player from any club outside of Carlton. Just a really class act!
I much prefer Mitchell over Hodge. Hodge's terrible acting yesterday, when he pretended he was being choked by Stevie J, made my blood pressue go up considerably.

So I went into the club shop today. Noticed there wasn't as much in there as there has been in the past.
Got my 150 Guernsey with Murphy's number. Fits perfectly, glad I went in to try it on. The pre season polo was great as well, it's actually the polo material which is nice.
Got my membership sorted out nice and easily, the guy was really helpful. Said it must have got lost in the mail and they've organized to resend it.

I'd suggest giving them a call, they sorted it out in 2 mins. Just said they get lost in the mail sometimes. They'll resend it for you.
Ha ha did you have the old Parkin Jugular sticking out the neck also Mebsy ??
A little bit
You laugh, but I've actually been really mad this week, despite our win. I even go on a rant on the podcast, ShanDog style.

One could suggest that Williams plea of not guilty also demonstrates a lack of remorse. Could have saved the WA judicial system quite a bit of money by pleading guilty, saving the need for a trial, when a guilty verdict was always going to be the outcome.
One thing people need to be careful of (& I don't mean you MEB) is not confusing Williams' subsequent demonstration of charity with the Salvos as anything other than an attempt to mitigate the sentence he knew was coming his way. I see in his post sentence statement that he says he has hurt & let a number of people down, but yet again fails to specifically acknowledge that he actually broke somebody's jaw in an act of unjustifiable violence.
As for the judge's comments:
‘‘Had you been sober, had you been more mature, you would have let the matter drop,’’ Judge Wager said. ‘‘But for the aggression shown to you earlier, you would not have been involved in this matter.’’

What a crock of s**t. If you can't control your behaviour after a few 'sherbets', well perhaps consuming alcohol is not for you. This judge has set back the 'one punch can kill' cause with her lenient sentence & her comments. I get sick of hearing defence lawyers & judges trying to mitigate someone's responsibility on the basis they were drunk. Such a defence can't be relied on for charges of drink driving, causing death or serious injury, so why should it be an excuse in the case of GBH charges.
I hear ya. I abhor violence. One of my cousins was coward punched in yarrawonga and knocked out, and a friend's brother was killed with a coward punch at fed square a couple of years ago. I don't think being drunk can be used as an excuse for any bad behaviour, at all.
However, the circumstances surrounding the two cases compared in this thread are quite different, which is the only thing I was trying to point out.
I agree the circumstances of the Newman & Williams cases were different, but IMO both should be behind bars, not just Newman. I hope the WA DPP has a good look at the sentence handed out to Williams & gives consideration to appealing the sentence as being manifestly inadequate, taking into account the injuries suffered by Williams' victim,
