Johnson got off. Which is more than can be said for Jarrad McVeigh the last few nights...

Cleared. Never in doubt. Some of you need to get out more.

Can I amend that to Sunscreen Steve then?
Perhaps if you acknowledge that he has been suspended many times in the last 5 years ( for very trivial stuff I might add) meaning your 'colour me surprised' statement is rendered meaningless?
wow. hawthorn supporters are this much in denial? really? they have been regularly doing stomach punches for a decade now and unlike Johnson have been prone to once in a while do a serious snipe as well. see just two weeks ago for evidence.

Most bizarre MRP ruling I've seen.

SJ showing he has the cleanest ball handling skills in the AFL

So Johnson was in position to win the ball he just missed by a metre or 2. Even Lewis got closer to the football with his hit

So Stevie J get's the benefit of the doubt for once. He has copped weeks in the past for things that would have gone unnoticed if it involved another player.
Any incident when slowed down and repeated umpteen times looks bad, particularly with BT and co drooling over the prospect of the MRP having a nice old look.
How can it not be with these type of comments?
What a delusional lot they are
In hindsight he was never going to get anything after he squirmed free of a suspension after booting Lachie Neale flush in the head last year. Was deemed to be "insufficient force" despite SJ playing out the rest of the season with a foot issue sustained from the incident.
Strange ruling though, how does belting a bloke in the nuts help you "win position for the ball"
Why bother with that kind of odd reasoning, just call it insufficient force and throw it out.

Sooooo... fan of Ballas, are we?
Personally, when gauging MRP suspensions, I tend to apply the "Ballantyne rule".
Which states, more or less, that any player (with the possible exception of Stevie J) who gets suspended, will get half the time that Ballantyne would have received for doing exactly the same thing.
Yes, don't they.
Now I want you to close your eyes for a moment, and imagine Ballantyne or Stevie J having done the Hodge.
How many weeks, you think?

Has set a dangerous precedent. Clarkson to instruct Hawthorn to run around sack-tapping Sydney players next week while "trying to win position for the ball".
