Fairly typical of the that big campaigner.Barry hall hit behind play of Maguire in 2005. Not as impactful as others here, but it was pretty dubious that the afl turned a blind eye to let Barry play in GF

I don't think Robert Muuir hit anyone from behind though!I remember Robbie Muir in the 80s. Very angry man. Only played about 60 games, suspended for 20 odd.

Hit a bloke in the nuts once. That's pretty cheap.I don't think Robert Muuir hit anyone from behind though!
Bit like Campbell Brown. People mistake sniping for losing it and lashing out. An elbow here, an uppercut there pretty much how he went about it.I think he hit them from every direction. He certainly wasnt a sniper. He would take every opportunity at any time.

Only three weeks for this. Wonder how much it would get these days.

Aw, come on, we all did that when we were kids!Hit a bloke in the nuts once. That's pretty cheap.
Yep and I still remembered that image of Matty Knights having a fair bit of blood on his face when it happened too.Tony Liberatore was a sniper. His punch to the face of Matty Knights in early 2001 was shocking. Guy is a complete gutter rat.
Yep Knighta was purely a ball player. Did a quick check and couldn't find if he was ever suspended in his career, so I'm guessing not.Yep and I still remembered that image of Matty Knights having a fair bit of blood on his face when it happened too.
Matthew Knights didn't look like a dirty player in his playing days.
Biggest dog act I have ever seen waved through by the AFL.
Apparently it is legal to contest a ground ball with an elbow driven into an opponent’s face and knee driven into his midsection…..if you are Patrick Dangerfield. Stop in to 0:19 seconds and look at the position he is in. And 0:31 seconds.

It looks more like a reflex action to protect himself than a deliberate hit to me.

It was at worst a clumsy attempt to protect himself but there is no way it was done maliciously. I dislike Danger immensely but not because of this. He plays the ball pretty much all the time which I respect about him.It is a reflex action you are not allowed to execute, at least during my 40+ years playing coaching and following footy. Just not allowed to have your forearm up to protect yourself from incoming traffic. And that knee action is also extremely dangerous. You are supposed to protect yourself with your hip and shoulder.
I don’t enjoy much about Dangerfield, but this has nothing to do with that. That is an extremely dangerous action top and bottom and he had alternatives and the result of it was plain to see. Might not be pre-meditated, but they were voluntary actions, nobody else made him do it.

Solid bump, if you pardon the expression
Found the dog act from Jim Edmond on Russell Morris I mentioned in this thread 4 and a half years ago, at 1:09:39. It's worse than I remember it.
I've never understood this. I'm guessing fans thinking this were either very young then or weren't around.
By the standards of 1989 what Ablett did wasn't unusual. If you dropped into the hole of a leading forward you could expect some contact. And you only need to watch the reaction of the other Hawthorn players who are all around Ablett. None of them remotely remonstrated, and remember that was a pretty physical game.
Neither mate. Perhaps someone can have a different opinion to you without you being condescending in response?
