MRP / Trib. Tom Stewart bump on Prestia - 4 weeks to freshen up

[Cataholic]

A very good response from Tom Stewart when asked questions by the media. that was class by him

He's not as bad a person as some have claimed him to be.

His remorse was evident immediately, and it continued tonight.

Blicavs full time backman for the next 4 weeks?

Did you not watch Stanley?

Blicavs only goes to defense full time if Ceglar is ready, or we plan on playing Neale/Tsap/Conway/Esava.

One thing this year has shown, you NEED two revolving rucks again. If Blitz is CHB then we need Stanley + someone, so you leave Blicavs in defence all game.

 

[And_ROOS]

Should have been 3. Compare this to other actions that have had 4 week suspensions. This isn't anywhere near on par with this.

And as said on another post, I look forward to kicking off and calling the Tribunal weak campaigners when someone else bumps someone as bad or worse than Stewart and they give them 2 weeks.

He deserved it, price is paid.

The 0.39 seconds thing I guess is an interesting benchmark going forward. Going forward just don't do what Tom did..

What a let down...

 

[kittypurry]

Truthfully could not ******* believe what he said in that press conference, ducked over any chance of a defense.

There is zero defence for what Stewart did. He let himself down, he let the team down, and he hurt an innocent person in Dion Prestia in the process.

He deserved four weeks and he got four weeks.

Stewart has won me over even more as a person because he has put his hand up and admitted he made a bad decision. He hasn't tried to weasel out of facing the consequences. That takes character. Unfortunately, there are not many people like Stewart who are willing to take the consequences of their actions on the chin these days.

Scott and Stewart should both be commended for conducting themselves with class post-game. I think Scott says some rubbish, but this is not one of those times. We've seen time and time again clubs trying to blame a player's bad decisions on "mental health" or "ADHD" which is ridiculous at best and deeply offensive to those with actual mental health battles at worse. Thankfully, we support a club where coaches like Scott and players like Stewart take the consequences like men.

Now our defenders have an opportunity to test themselves without our best player. If they have half as much character as Stewart, they'll stand up and face the challenge of Melbourne and Carlton (not including North and Port in this lol) head on.

Seems about fair. The act itself (high off the ball shoulder was probably worth 1-2 weeks if Prestia has walked away from it), But its a fact of life that outcome is considered and Prestia got seriously hurt.

3 would have been fair. That extra week is to send a message. Basically, all footballers should never try and bump again.

I like the post saying Geelong fans should be scared next time we play Richmond. Can't wait until the manchildren writing this stuff get their opportunity to start bashing Cats fans because of something a Cats player did

I think they said something like "We'll never forget"

I guess they think themselves as some sort of terrorist/revolutionary death squad or something. [smh]

They funnelled a tsunami of runny chocolate into a Bay 13 thread of great distraction.

Spot on. I'd hope any Cats supporter will cop this on the chin as he has, because what's done is done and now we have to move on to best deal with this gap for a month. Shades of Scarlett's hit on Balantyne except most of the fotty world welcomed that. This wasn't it.

What annoys me is I'm sure the ferals will boo him for years to come, as if their criminal rabble squad members over the years haven't done the same and worst. Sorry, what was Jack Dyer famous for? Captain Blood wasn't it? Great player and legend of the game no doubt, but Tigers fans who's been spitting venom needs to pull their heads in, and remember that this has been part of the game since inception, right or wrong. I don't condone contact to the head, but FFS, it's a contact sport played by hard bodies. S**t happens. All the best to Prestia, and let's bring on 16 more points next month!

I would react to most of these posts except some Tiggy softcawk reported me so now reactions are not my privilege for a week.

They’re already talking this up. They’re even trying to organize a mass purchase of tickets to our game against the Bulldogs in R20 just so they can go there to boo Stewart.

Is making threats of physical violence in public not grounds for a break from Big Footy, even in Bay13? Pathetic by any said keyboard warriors.
Maybe they'd like to remind themselves of the words by one of the greats, one of their own?

Ha! It's our home game...let them pay full-price for the tickets then, more money into the coffers of our club. Muppets.

You weren't silly enough to go over there and roll in the pig pen were you?!

should’ve been two weeks

Just very lucky I didn’t get 4 weeks for it too.

Troll reacting on any board, especially an opposition board will result in the same thing - it's not just posting which is deemed trolling, but reactions are also

Best option to avoid any form of a ban is just to avoid such actions - but if you decide that's what you want to do, be prepared for a not so welcome reception

Ah mate I know but I went ahead anyway.

Using the reaction is definitely not the way.

The reaction as I’ve seen others use is the preferable choice.

I was wrong but hysterics make me .
