Hawkin's gooooone

[Sherrinator]

Or maybe not. Geelong is due a flag, MRP.

 

[Righteo]

Varcoe punched Nic Suban in the face several times the other week and got off, Hawkins at least used the jumper punch. He'll be fine.

 

[daniel_4tw]

For a jumper punch? Yeah, nah.

 

[Lensen]

Below the force required

 

[SuperSub17]

It's like people haven't seen the 10 identical incidents this year that were thrown out for insufficient force.

Nothing to see here.

 

[Engimal]

Wrong board.

 

[Andrew Mc]

No, no he isn't.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

May get reported .... But at the very worst a reprimand

 

[Handsuper47]

There was nothing in it.

 

[teddies]

nothing in it. Hawk was just a bit frustrated and unhappy with his own performance.

 

[Maddo11]

Last player to get suspended for a jumper punch was... ... ..... ..... ..... yep, nobody, ever.

 

[ziad]

no case to answer but you can put a fork in the Cats

 

[SSSSSS]

Only thing I saw him do the whole game. Fist clearly connected to the jaw and there was clear intent. Ordinary act.

 

[orion21]

If he even gets looked at AFL is finished as a game........

The slow motion replay makes it look bad.

 

[Ironmonger]

This wasn't a jumper punch. This was punching someone while you happened to be holding his jumper. His fist hit the chin.

I suspect he'll get off, because there's always been an aversion to suspending key players for finals when there is any reason at all to let them off, but this really should be at least a week in normal circumstances.

Whoa

He should go

And cudos to lake For sticking up for his team mate

 

[Leigh Lowther]

In terms of force it's no different to Mitch Robinson's hit on Taylor Adams.



And he got two weeks.

 

[Harry Hawks]

Nah mate different rules in the finals!!

 

[pazza]

Gone. 1 week.

Don't look at it then.

Whilst I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it copping a suspension, I'm not comfortable that you can get a whack in the jaw like that intentionally and outside the play. That's just being a thug.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Reprimand or a week. Fyfe did a similar thing and copped a week. Should expect the same.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Whilst I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it copping a suspension, I'm not comfortable that you can get a whack in the jaw like that intentionally and outside the play. That's just being a thug.

Probably the type of thing that should attract a fine.

 

[DanWA]

Has to be a week

If not, just the usual sydney/geelong favourtism
