Autopsy Hawks v Pies - AFL 2025 Rd 22 - Thu August 7th 7:30pm (M.C.G.)

[danster168]

I have to believe your joking?

it's the precedent that the afl set.

 

[Hungdaddy]

Sucks for Howe, one of the genuine good guys in AFL.

 

[Toomuchtime]

Hate playing the Hawks for this reason.
Did it to Nick in 2022, Now sniped Howe.
Disgusting.

 

[Cyclops]

That's a brutal collision, and what was with the booing from the crowd at one stage after play was stopped?

I think they started booing because play wasn't stopped, probably venting displeasure at the umps?

 

[danster168]

I don't think you can blame Newcombe for that hit on Howe, it just looked like an accidental collision and Howe came off 2nd best

exactly the same as May.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Why can't people watch footy without turning it into a pissing contest?

Because.

 

[Gammalite]

at least 12 days out now.
So after the Concussion protocol is finished he could be back for some Finals . Fingers crossed.
Best of luck to make it back ok to Howe

 

[Pancakes]

Won't see Howe till finals now, an maybe not even then.
That was brutal.

 

[Wojcinski]

If anything it looks like Howe turned into Newcombe.

seeing a few more angles on replay it was just unlucky, if Newcombe gets rubbed out for that I'd be very surprised

 

[BigPond101]

The time it takes to get the stretcher off it wouldn't want to be an emergency or the player would be dead before they reach hospital

 

[Jobe Watson]

What the hell were the crowd booing?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why are you booing you flogs?

It's a headclash. Completely accidental.

 

[OniAu]

Two blokes in opposite directions, head clash. Massive hit. Just an unfortunate accident

I think thats what frustrates me , netheir player did anything wrong. But the AFL Admin seem to think differently

 

[rdhopkins2]

Both players committed to the contest. Hopefully both are okay!

 

[Reign Man]

 

[windyhill]

Fair assist Darce.

 

[The Walrus]

Didn't look like Newcombe made any head contact.

Should be free to play.

That’s the problem with the ‘duty of care’, apparently Newcombe should have known he would have been second to the ball. It’s a joke.

 

[Corkintheocean]

If May gets 3 for being late, then thats 3 also

It's just as blatant in terms of disregard for safety. King's position on these incidents is so inconsistent.

 

[Pancakes]

lol Moore.
Biggest spud in the league right now.

 

[HairyO]

seeing a few more angles on replay it was just unlucky, if Newcombe gets rubbed out for that I'd be very surprised

You have to wonder what the charge would be.

Also, Watson the Wiz !

 

[Art Vandelay_]

The Turd with the first goal

 

[Hoops]

Go Hawkers.
I feel dirty

 

[cryptor]

Great assist from Moore

 

[BFew]

Mr Darcy
What have you done!?

 

[Count_Zero]

I don't think you can blame Newcombe for that hit on Howe, it just looked like an accidental collision and Howe came off 2nd best

It would be the elbow he hits him with.
