Didn't look bad, still looking at a couple of weeks at the very least

He'll go for it, you can't really pass that off as anything other than giving the ump a push. Not a big incident but when you're not supposed to touch them at all...

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Admittedly this is from a far angle

But for all the world that looked a reflex action of a bloke patting a bloke on the back as he runs into his personal space - like putting your hand on someone's shoulder when you walk past them from behind just to let them know you are there.


No malice, just normal human behaviour to control and protect space for both people.

Big umpire contact?

Someone made a thread without actually seeing the vision

Given 4 weeks for umpire contact

Unbelievable. Bulldogs and VFL both push for a financial sanction but Will Minson given a 4-game ban for making intentional umpire contact.

 

[WCEbrody]

4 ******* games hahaha, what a bloody joke.

 

[AM]

Bullies intend appealing as they should.

 

[catempire]

Ridiculous. Appeal certain.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Lol 4 weeks

 

[Matilda05]

What a joke, I'm sure Hodge did it at least once or twice last season

 

[Gaben]

Dropped the left arm in to an umpire. Cya later bud.

 

[ManOfClay]

Well, didn't expect that.

I'm firmly on the camp that "******* Gaz, that's right, protect ******* gaz" from hodge was much more abusive that whatever Minson did but oh well we player tribunal roulette and got ****ed

Andrew Moore got 4 weeks for a similar slight touch of an umpire in the SANFL... his appeal was thrown out - so will Minsons!!

You cant deliberately touch an umpire PERIOD!!!!

You cant deliberately touch an umpire PERIOD!!!!

You can't strike another player either.....PERIOD. Hodge 3, Lewis 2

Anyone who has seen the vision of Minsions contact with the umpire must be saying WTF when they hear the penalty.

$1,000 fine and everyone moves on.

 

[Taylor]

Four weeks!

Haha

 

[ManOfClay]

This was more offensive and threatening than anything Will did

Minson named in the 1's. Doesn't the suspension stop him from playing at the top level? Pretty funny now
