Pendles smacking blokes in the belly

[eddiesmith]

Precedent set now. Players can whack their opponents with a decent amount of force as long as you don’t close your first.

Actually a closed fist gets the same penalty, well at least when you play for a protected team like Essendon…

Perhaps you lot should pay some attention to the AFL rules

The AFL rules that say intentional with medium impact is 1 week?

It’s border line for impact, I’ll grant you that. Next season I’d like to see anything that’s graded as intentional be a minimum of 1 week regardless of impact. Stamp this grubby shit out.

Perhaps you lot should pay some attention to the AFL rules and the example posted in the top quote where a deliberate gut punch was only a fine.

It’s hilarious to see Essendon fans especially having a whinge given their player got the exact same penalty for a deliberate gut punch last year and did you all complain he wasn’t suspended?

Yes we did !

You’re kidding yourself if you’re trying to compare things that happened a year ago to current day. Collingwood players simply don’t get looked at if they do the wrong thing, it’s simple.

Contact which wasnt even felt was graded Medium last week. This had Neale doubled over and was graded Low.

The AFL want Pendles to get to 400 as much as Collingwood.

lol, just because AFL fans want Collingwood players to get a Collingwood tax of double the penalty of other players for similar incidents or want players rubbed out for life for a smother simply because the player he smothered was soft.

It’s not the AFL going light, it’s the ridiculous bias of fans who see things differently.

Yet when Daicos was doubled over from a closed fist punch the grading was also low.

I don’t recall the outrage at that penalty from all these people.

It was an open handed slap, getting a fine is ridiculous enough, missing games for it is stupid.

But hey if it means a dirty grub like Neale can’t win another Brownlow cos he gut punches someone and cops a week by your new proposed harsh rules, then so be it! The rule would survive about 2 weeks until a Cripps or Neale hit a tagger and the league throws it out.

And?

 

[Professor Knowall]

I’ll ask this question again, seeing as no-one has answered it yet -
When is the last time a player was suspended for an open-palm slap to the tummy?

 

[eddiesmith]

2023.

Rules haven’t changed in last 12 months…

To be fair. The force needed to put Daicos down would be 1/5 of what Pendles used on Neale.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Essendone should be put down

 

[YeoShuey]

I think if it were 85% of the other players, likely would have got weeks.

 

[Gavin Excell]

He punched someone? Please provide evidence, you're way ahead of the media on this!

A retaliatory slap to the belly = literally Hitler?

Godwin's invoked

Anyone here reckon a Lions player doing that to Pendles or Daicos gets less than a week ?

 

[TW Sherrin]

Open hand to the stomach.

Maybe a week maybe not.

Not sure the game should be suspending players for an open hand.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

2 weeks, poor form.

didn't Neale do exactly the same last year and cop exactly the same fine - and won the Charlie. Why not the same outrage then??

Neale did same last year, got a fine, went on to win brownlow. Case closed.

I don’t think Pendlebury deserved more than a fine but it’s a bit rich for you to blame Brayshaw for his career being over. That’s really shitty by you, hope Maynard’s happy with himself.

 

[Drought Break]

The problem is if these 'gut punches' hit the liver, it can be really serious medically.

ha ha, a little open handed slap. Hope you don't follow boxing or UFC.

Yeah open hand strikes are harmless
