I don’t care who wins the Brownlow.

And if Heeney gets an AFL enforced holiday (albeit undeserved), it mightn’t be the worst thing in the world.

 

[Donza]

The absolute ****ing crucifixion of Heeney in the media is an absolute joke. The club should come out on the attack to highlight the difference in reporting of incidents. They should also put in a public and formal complaint with Ross Lyon making comment and potentially influencing the MRO prior to his decision.

The "crucifixtion is done to generate clicks, content and engagement.
The footy shows (360, couch etc) will then have something to chat about this evening.
David Zita will be 3 schnitties deep by the time its finished.

 

[DobmusEdge]

When the biggest thug ever, Lethal Leigh, comes out and says Heeney is guilty, you know there's a big Melbourne push to have him hung!

Spare me, how was he to know the useless St Scum defender would have his head half way down to the ground?? No way can it be deemed "high contact"?

Also what about the "good bloke" precedent with Cameron earlier in the year?? If our legal counsel can't get him off, he should be sacked immediately.

Leigh has lived in Queensland last 25 years - still a director on Lions board

They’re always absolute lunatics with Swans players

No one has ever forgotten dunkley in 96 and hall in 05

Lachie Neale's new trick; the game's best forward in a funk

A dual Brownlow medallist flexed as his side continues its resurgence, and a young Saint grabbed his opportunity in the seniors. But the game's best key forward is in a funk. Here's whose stocks are up and down after Round 17.

AFL doesn’t like * next to names on Brownlow night.

And as for that goon The Sewer claiming it was no different to Gaff - shows the level of intellect in this debate.

They were fine with a * next to the 2016 flag.

Not sure we can take that for Granted.

 

[caesar88]

Part of me hopes Heeney does get suspended so he can miss a game.

I hope we challenge, get him off, then rest him anyway.

Geez I wanna look after him but I wouldn't go that far...

 

[bedford]

I'll take that back after the last one lol

My wife would.

It’s all in the wording of the directive - it says something like - ‘will USUALLY result in a grading of intentional’

I would argue this is not ‘usual’

- The tackling player slipped and this brought his headdown to waist heigh

- the tackling player was actually ‘hanging on’ and Heeney’s clear intent was to clear the tackle, not strike the player

-Heeney was not watching the tackling player at poc.

- How can a clear accident be intentional?

Agree with most of this but to clarify the grading is intentional in terms of, did Heeney intend to make contact with any part of Webster or did he intend to make contact with the ball. So a player attempting a spoil and accidentally punching someone would be judged unintentional while pushing off from the mark is intentional.

The directive opens a huge can of worms -


You can hospitalise a guy with a pretend effort to gain a ‘lift’ with your knee - accident - no case to answer.

You can cause a blood nose trying to break an illegal tackle, without looking at the player, and at waist height - accident but called intentional - and get a week.

The whole system is an absolute mare. Excuse the pun.

Robbo dismissing the similarity to BZT because Heeney is a forward not a defender? Wtf?

He had no answer - clearly couldn’t explain it.

[The Mares Leg]

Seems Lyon, Brown and Buckley all agree, the directive is garbage and was intended to stop ‘box ons’…not a ‘swing back’ to break an ILLEGAL tackle.

Robbo is the drunk uncle you try not to talk to at family gatherings.

Trust me, I am that drunk uncle
