Abblet high contact again

[HairyO]

Who, when and where?

2 weeks ago Cousins for the same action and same level of contact. If he had done it next week it wouldnt even be a fine.

Remember when Hodge got 2 weeks for elbowing Ziebel, who got back up and took his free kick and kicked a goal?

Until 9 days ago Cats supporters were outraged that Mitchell didnt get a week for his hit on Goldstein which Goldstein said he barely felt (which surely means insufficient force, but Mitchell still copped a fine).

Im sure supporters of most teams will have examples where their players have been penalised for similar hits.

Very emotive language you use. I am surprised Sam Wright's head wasn't ripped off. Just remind me what damage Wright suffered, how long he was down for and how long he was off the ground?

Are you also carrying on about Frawley pushing Cameron into the electronic sign fence? Or Fyffe elbowing the Richmond guy in the head?.....Didn't think so

Frawley got a fine. Which is exactly what everyone gets who shoves players in to the fence and they dont get hurt.

Fyfe got off for the same reason Ablett got off. They have a lot of Brownlow votes. Everyone knows it.

Just admit it.

In a few weeks a lesser player will throw a late elbow on a big name player and be rubbed out. We all know its coming.

Please keep booing him. Please.

AFL MRO's lost the plot. Surely he's taking the piss? Next week GAJ is gonna go Tony Lockett on Peter Caven level and get off again.

Oi! I know you’re a bit daft with these matters but point me to where Hawthorn challenged Cousins ban?

You didn’t. We did.
Can’t overturn a charge if you accept it.

Please keep booing him. Please.

No problem. He obviously doesnt like it and it gets to him.

People forget Ablett was originally suspended last week for an incident worse than the brush with the forearm on the weekend.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Congratulations AFL. You've just created precedent.

Didn't they do that last year with Mitchell?

 

[shintemaster]

Ablett will be cheered this week down at Kardinia Park.

Who cares what hillbillies do?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Yeah, 8 probable Brownlow votes the last 3 weeks shows how badly it is getting to him

Doesnt he love it too

Then it wont matter to anyone when it happens.

Good job

No North fans do because there are none to care.

Awesome burn.

MRO finally gets something Geelong related correct

 

[Turnover]

Praying works.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

The problem is "insufficient force". It shouldn't be a factor. Either you've elbowed someone in the head or you haven't. The outcome of the action shouldn't matter in determining guilt - it should determine the penalty. And the minimum penalty should be a week.

And just for the record, yes Tom Mitchell should have got a week.

 

[gingernuts]

Geelong pre season starts at the Myer boxing day sales. You ever tried going there and not copping an elbow off some bloke seeking a bargain? well that's gazza

 

[Tristan34]

So this is how the hawk supporters felt years ago when they had the MRP in their pocket...

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

So cousins gets a week, Martin gets a week, Ablett gets off two weeks in a row.... something doesn’t quite add up

Elbow to the head off the ball no matter the force is a week. Absolutely no need to be raising the arms like that.

 

[Generalissimo]

So much whinging. Get over it.

Then they wonder why the ratings are going down.

 

[Balls In]

And now Rampe has been charged a couple of days after the AFL gave the all clear to the umpires for climbing a goalpost. What a game.

Luckily for Ablett, his was a forearm.
