Yep

Came in here thinking someone has been crushes in a tackle.....

A proper corky is an injury, your muscle is bleeding, you get swelling, players miss games with them if they are bad enough

If suspension worked there would be no striking either. We get less because there are penalties but we still get striking

You think he got a good bloke discount? I think he got a dumb s**t loading, either event by itself would have been a fine, they might have sent him to the tribunal to make it a bigger one but unlikely either in isolation would have been a week.

I think niggling happens all the time, from all clubs, not all players and not all to the same level, I don't think pinching like that does and clearly it doesn't get highlighted if it does Stomping is pretty rare, seems to happen a couple of times a year at most. I'm not suggesting that what...

are you including the obscene gesture he's already been fined for in the three issues or something else From what I read the AFL were looking at a fine to 1 week for the pinching and 1-2 for the stomp So anything from a big hit to his pocket and a week off to 3 weeks off I think 2-3 weeks is...

Caddy only got a fine for stomping on a players hand last year Crowley only got fined for pinching Boomer "about 300 times" Doing both in the same game obviously leads to a greater penalty but 3 weeks for this when guys are getting less for hits to the head or knocking someone out in a sling...

Skeppersap is a Cats supporter, you're too busy trolling to notice though....

The pinching happens all the time, I reckon his mistake there was going for it all game and on a Friday night after it had been talked about re Cameron. He's going to cop a whack for the sheer stupidity of what he did there. Niggle happens all the time in the AFL, taggers and defenders use...

The club already officially made the statement.

What is Clarko going to do? Burn his Captain to placate Robbo? You think Stratton is the only player to pinch? Hawks the only club with players that niggle or cross the line? He's not going to point out who else does it across the league and he's not going to hang his Captain on 360, the CEO...

What are you on about?

This is the world we live in now though. Public apology or the mob continues. They are after Smith now for not throwing him under the bus when they tried to get him to at the press conference today. You can't just wait for it to go away with the AFL news cycles during bye week. They don't have...

Hodgey did some dumb s**t on and off field over the journey Clubs put up with a lot when they player is a winner Whether they will be able to keep doing that with how the world is turning will be interesting. Guarantee that Reeve's comments on Stratton were to appease Sponsors. Used to be...

The AFL say they want to stamp out the niggle, they said so back after all the frees paid in Round 2, ticked them all off and then we've barely seen them pay those frees again. Crap niggling tactics being used by players is nothing new, same as the umps turning a blind eye to most of it is...

It really doesn't matter what anyone else did or got away with.

Thread has had a clean up, let's stick to the topic at hand

Remember him however you want, won't make any difference to him or change the number of flags he won.

Yeah Saturday night game interstate gets less coverage than Friday night in Melbourne against another Vic club. The funny thing its nothing new, he's always been an annoying campaigner when he thinks it will put his opponent off. Slaps, punches, pinches all the niggle, across his whole career. Gets...

Is there footage of the stomp, first I've heard of it

It's been highlighted his last two games and the bruises aren't a good look, be interesting to see how the AFL handle this one

No

Yeah, they make it up as they go along

He'd still go, you have to be up there in the brownlow getting and a media darling to avoid it. Or do it the same day as one of the above does the same.

Yep but he came down on the left and was trying to hold onto the ball so it didn't spill out in the tackle. Made no effort to protect himself, was worried about the ball not himself Because they aren't consistent on anything, but the closest seems to be get the player to the ground if you want...

If they did what they should and gave a week for every one of them regardless of outcome we'd see a lot less and we wouldn't be wondering about chook lotto. Same with all the punches that are nothing one week, a fine another and a week off another. Actions not outcomes should be the penalty...

When the rule says not to sling and you choose to it's on you, only issue is how inconsistent the AFL is on it. They only seem to suspend for a concussion and only if the tackler isn't too big a name

Be interesting to see if this gets the same result. MRP has been punishing outcomes and looks over actions and intent for a long time now.

Did Jetta go the other week? Legit don't remember
