Show me the fist you are referring to. i see an open hand

Right, forearm is even worse

 

[Chism]

Should be 5 weeks + and it was clearly intentional/ severe / high.

It wont be though as the Hawks are looked after from the top down AFL house wise.

Just a dog act taking out the Cats best ball user illegally with a game in the balance. Makes for the Red Card discussion more relevant also.

 

[Wojcinski]

The wind up is even worse in slow motion. It has to be more than 3 weeks

 

[HeHateMe]

Horrible hit
Crosses line from clumsy to deliberate

You need to leave some room for the Barry Hall hits, that's a deliberate high contact and impact strike. This one is a careless footy act but maybe an opportunity to send it straight to tribunal?

Careless my arse.

He intended to hit him. The careless grade is the only thing Hawks supporters have to cling to and it is embarrassing.

It was a deliberate thug act /discussion.

 

[Cleavy]

(serious post) feels like easily 3-4 minimum.

(joking post) with the Hawthorn tax, rubbed out for the season.

Where is the ball in that shot?

miers is holding it. its yellow and hard to miss. when nash starts his swing miers is holding the ball where nash's arm ends up swinging. Miers brings the ball lower and the arm wraps around his head.

Forgot hawks supporter it's got nothing to do with it. I wanted him dropped last week anyway.

Even in that footage you can see that it's a body check to knock the ball free, a footy incident not an intentional strike. If carless, high impact and contact 3 weeks is too lenient, maybe straight to tribunal is the way to go.

 

[catstorm]

cant base suspension on how long the other player misses otherwise you have someone slide in below the knees and break someones leg or knee and be suspended for 25+ games. thats ridiculous.

No but a hit like that should by 5-6, not 3.

 

[Matilda05]

So you reckon a guy intentionally hitting another bloke with a swinging round arm fist in the head and knocking him out is worth 3 weeks

And pushing a ball into another players face is worth 2?

It wasn't a push, look at that still shot and the hand position on the ball.

Not saying it's in the same ballpark as Nash who should probably get 3 (would be happy for 2 as a Hawks fan).

Aitkens knee drop Jai in the back of the neck / head should get a week and Smith a fine

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Was immediately and profusely contrite ....

What does that have to do with it?

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Should be 10.

That was just plain and simple thuggery.

 

[Bald]

The thing is, and I know they don't look a this, Miers is probably going to miss the next 2 games because of that hit.

So if Nash gets 3 it essential means he will miss half a game more then the victim of his cheap shot.

That's just a circumstantial thing. Should a player receive a week less if they are reported for an action on a player who has a bye the following week?

It's a slippery slope there, and take your emotion out of it, it wasn't a cheap shot, it was a clumsy action.

 

[Boxhead_31]

3 weeks. high, careless, severe.

he is swinging for the ball but just misses it. similar to scrimshaw earlier in the year

smith should also get 1-2 weeks. intentional, high, low-med impact.... but will probably get nothing. if he threw then ball the only a fine. but it was a strike cos he never released the ball.

Nash is going striaght to the tribunal and is looking at 4+

You do understand that a open or closed hand doesn't matter if you hit someone with a forearm, right?

I was merely highlighting the innacuracy in your post. Wasn't trying to say he didnt hit him high with a swinging arm.

If that was a push of the ball, then nash was only giving miers a hug.

lol

 

[beema limapep]

Voss on Vlastuin broke his nose. Almost identical action and force.

Will get 3, no less, no more.

 

[kickazz]

What does that have to do with it?

Nothing regarding any penalty but it matters when judging his character I suppose

 

[beerbandit]

Miers will miss the next 2 weeks against Carlton & Collingwood due to the Monday game.

It will be minimum 3 but most likely 4 weeks for that.

Agree likely 3 or 4.

Impey should be fined for staging. Disgusting.

It was not careless it was deliberate.

We need to ask ourselves if we want to be seeing this stuff every week.

Yes Barry Hall was worse, to be honest that should be seven or eight weeks

this is way worse than the Voss hit
