I'm confused.
I'm also drunk but definitely mostly confused.

Glad I watch more country footy than AFL. At least there is a contest and some physicality still at this level.

3 weeks for that. Wouldn't get that in a netball or basketball competition.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Disgrace.
I wish he'd actually taken his head off properly and added a few extra weeks.

maybe 1 extra week.

He got 1 week less than Houli. How is this possible? How dumb is this system?

 

[hoianbulldog]

So you would like to see afl players with a track record of throwing punches run straight through an innocent Toby Greene.
Thank christ all supporters dont support thuggery on the field.

Go away.

 

[hoianbulldog]

So dogs supporters think love taps should just be that?

That's why you wanted Toby banned for that too right? I've seen more force with a feather landing on a pillow. Both are a joke, fine at best.

Yep....no swinging arm to the face. Nothing in it.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Ah the dogs delusional hypocritical tears are sweet.

Until every one stops and realizes the game has gone soft and to stop the softening it will only get worse. Stop complaining what others got in punishment and just call soft what it is, soft.
If another team hits someone from your team and it's soft, stop crying about it. This redpath hit was soft, Davis didn't act well either. Just like Greene's incidents are nothing. If you want the game harder then stop being blinded by your bias.

You dont have bias?

 

[hoianbulldog]

The tribunal has spoken to all clubs.

Do not put us in a position where we have to make the MRP look like idiots.

If you do, we will make you pay.

 

[Orange Agent]

Would the Dogs have appealed if it was a 1 week suspension?

 

[MeestaNob]

AFL is a ridiculously run sport.

Embarrassing on an international level.

 

[Royal Flush]

A joke. Many confussed and bemused fans out there not understanding the tribunal. The only system to not allow precedence in its judgements .

They need to appeal based on a manifestly unfair finding and have it lowered to 1 week.

And players need to stop with the shoves and punches to the neck and head.

For most players a week down to two would have been given. In previous seasons a fine, but there's a focus on eliminating punching. He does have a poor record so was given 3 weeks down to two.
The decision to challenge made it 3 when it was unsuccessful, which always looked likely given he did punch.

lt's really a failure of the Bulldogs club system to challenge. It's very easy in room of people who want to achieve an outcome to convince yourselves that the impossible is possible. An area where you need the discipline to be cold, pragmatic and objective. That didn't happen clearly.

I don't see a problem with the result. . My understanding is it's similar in ciminal law where throwing your hands up and pleading guilty leads to a reduced sentence and tough choices have to be made.

He did punch? Point to where he punched? You can't, because he didnt.

Challenging an extremely debatable MRP decision and subsequently losing is most certainly not the failure of a club's system. It was just as much a gamble with potentially 2 weeks to go in our season with the risk of him missing 1 more game as it was challenging an inconsistent ruling.

A good example of the failure of a club's systems would be having two club officials deliberately hide a player from drug testers and subsequently receive 6-12 month suspensions.

Selwood does it the most but Davis being a wimp doesn't look good for him. Im sure in the moment he's just trying to get a free rather than someone suspended, but still. There isn't a team in the afl who doesn't have someone who flops like a fish given the chance.

You seriously think what Davis does and what Selwood does are the same

 

[Boxhead_31]

what’s this worth then? Double open hand. Worse decision ever - what did Houli originally get?

Did the Bulldogs player go down like a two dollar hooker after contact Davis style?

He did punch him though.
Making an unwinnable challenge is a failure of a clubs system.
This is obvious.

I suggest you check the definition of the word 'punch' if you believe that is what he did.

And the challenge was far from unwinnable. Just because it didn't win, doesnt mean it didn't have a chance.

Suggest you encourage your club to do some remedial work with Redpath. Clearly he needs to take the dirty play out of his game. He has a poor record for a reason.
Developing the skills to become an AFL grade tall forward would be probably be good for your team as well. He was.an embarassment to the game with his incredible fumbling in front of goals.
Maybe the two are related?

I agree that it is stupid of Redpath to have toed the line. He shouldn't give the MRP reason to consider suspending him. But that doesn't mean the decision was fair and shouldn't have been challenged.

As for the rest of your post which is completely off topic and designed to get a reaction - pathetic trolling as usual.

It's completely reasonable to suggest a player lacking skill might use foul play in an attempt to compensate though. He certainly wouodn't be the first to do so.

i just look at the team you follow and thats enough for me to know you're a complete Wa$#$R
your team is the embarassment

This should be a clear 2 week suspension. You can see the tips of Patton's fingers on Cordy's throat, should be classified as high. Intentional, high, medium impact (Patton is a big guy).

Dont waste your time on this clown.

Conveniently joined the forum when GWS started winning games a year or so ago. At least most of their other regulars here copped it when they were a rabble.

IIRC this guy was a hawks supporter before LOL

 

[van peebles]

The punch as recogised by the afl should be one week.It shouldn't matter whether a player has gone once.twice or three times.
A simple solution to redpath and hawkins problems shouldve been eady as 'you're a dropkick for another untidy effort one week champ' NEXT.
