Interesting, haven't seen those examples, I'll have to go have a look.

Can't say I'm surprised, with the lifting motion it was always going to be touch and go for Charlie. He's lucky Lever's head didn't impact the ground, could've been a much longer holiday otherwise.

The bump isn’t dead, bumping like a tool is.

I also miss the good old days when you could elbow a bloke in the head without punishment. We used to be a proper sport!

That doesn’t suit his narrative though

I think you'll find the AFL hates people throwing late elbows to the head, actually

Yep, if an intentional grading becomes an automatic suspension watch this sort of stuff as well as the gut punches and jumper punches disappear overnight

Should be graded as intentional, high contact, low impact. Can’t believe that intentional isn’t an automatic one week suspension. We need to stamp this dirty s**t out.

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 s**t out.

To the shock of absolutely no one, Pendles has got away with it.

Neale will probably get a week for hurting Scotty’s hand.

That's true, and for bumps where there's some mitigating circumstances I agree. This isn't one though. Jimmy very clearly intended to hit Jy in the head IMO.

Firm disagree, with that logic you can disguise an off the ball hit with a 'bump' and do just as much damage.

For a king hit as severe as that, I’d think half a season at a minimum

Are you still seriously going on about suspensions from 2 decades ago? You’d be suspended for an entire season if you did a Barry Hall these days.

I’m sure Sandringham are eagerly awaiting his return

He didn't look particularly remorseful in the footage of his 'friendly chat' with Clarko

They discounted him in the regular season for it last year when he sniped Hewett

Careless is an absolute joke. If the AFL want to be taken seriously about ‘protecting the head’ then they have to push for it to be upgraded to intentional.

Because the punishments handed out previously are no longer adequate, and need to be increased to help stamp behaviour like this out of the game. Times change. We know more now about the long term effects of head trauma than we did 10 years ago, meaning we need to penalise players who endanger...

Do yourself a favour and log off dude

What’s the difference between a king hit and intentionally putting your shoulder through someone’s temple? Webster only had one intention, to hurt Simpkin. Absolutely deserves the book thrown at him.

Kingy with the double black and white profile photos, someone tell him Jy is still alive

Would love to know how you’ve managed to bring race into this.

‘Top lads’ don’t get suspended for feeling up random chicks while on the drink

I’m not the defending one of our players for sniping an opponent in a practice match, a week after a player was forced into medical retirement. If a West Coast player did what SPP did, I’d be thankful it was 4 weeks and not more.

I’ve watched enough in real time to see SPP snipe a bloke who was already being tackled, in a practice match. And I can 100% guarantee if this was a Crows player lining up a Port player, you’d want blood. If it wasn’t a player who has a history of being a grub, both on and off the field, maybe...

I suppose he was planning to take out Rioli instead then?

Because people need to find an excuse for their team being beaten. They couldn’t possibly just accept that they were outplayed.

Zorko is a mystery, terrific footballer who turns to absolute water when he cops a tag, sore loser, terrible human on and off the field. I'd be embarrassed if he was my captain.
