Jimmy Webster has always been a flog, no surprises that he comes from a family of flogs.
I reckon that’s the first time I’ve ever noticed Jimmy Webster on the footy field. Look him up and he’s 30yo with 130 games. Crikey.

Logged on to this thread and this post came up as the most recent post since I’d been on here. Don’t want to lose our captain. Cowardly acts like this need to be hit with the highest possible penalty.
Absolute dog act!!!

Yes it was this comment that made me almost as sick as the actual hit.

In a series of Facebook comments, Webster’s siblings did not join the pile on.
One of Webster’s sisters, Maddi Webster, shared footage of the incident and wrote: “Oh Jimmy” followed by a laughing and face palm emoji.
Another sister, Alysha Webster, commented “Goodnight” on the post. The hit left Simpkin with a concussion, which was his third in the past 12 months.

They didn't defend s**t. To claim so is disingenuous. They laughed at their brother knocking an opposition player out.Jimmy Webster’s family reacts to Saint’s huge bump on North star Jy Simpkin

And the sister works for a saints major sponsor? That doesn't sound half nepotistic.

Jy was one of my favorite non-Dogs players to watch, really hope he bounces back from this. Concussion is hell, have been through it myself.
As for Websters family comments, completely sickening the lack of empathy shown.

I get that Webster is family and they wouldn't know about Jy's concussion history at the time, but gee that's ordinary. Keep it to the family group chat next time thnx.

Absolute ferals.
Hope you've woken up ok this morning Jy. No worsening or delayed symptoms.
Good to see and hear the general public consensus is 8 to 10 weeks minimum for Webster. For mine it's 16 weeks and fine him enough so that he is left on a minimum rookie wage for the rest of the year. It's going to have to be something that drastic to eradicate acts like that from the game.

Or Goldstein. We mustn’t forget that our own coach (I assume) has instructed his snipers (Lewis and Hodge) to go and and target North players in the past.
The club has just been upgraded to total flogdom to be in such rarified company as Sydney, Port and Bombers.

Not just worried about the concussion, looked like he got a bit of whiplash too. Hope he’s ok.
The hit on Jy by Webster was disgusting, it was late, high and off the ground. Given everything we now know about concussion this type of act simply cannot be tolerated. I am very surprised that the message still hasn't gotten through to every player that this type of hit is absolutely not on. If the AFL want to stamp this out they have to come down hard with the penalty to set the tone for the future. Six week is an absolute minimum I would think 8 to 10 would be more appropriate.
I really hope that Jy is going to be ok. When it happened my heart sank and watching the replay was really sickening. Jy is also one of the players that we can least afford to lose. We have a very young and inexperienced team and really need the leadership and experience that Jy brings. To lose Jy to injury is one thing but to lose him in that incident is disgusting.
As for Websters family, whilst I can understand them wanting to support a family member this is absolutely the worst way to go about it. They really need to reflect on the comments that they made and hopefully see how wrong they were. I remember when Jess Sinclair collected Lance Picioane. Jess was distraught by his actions and genuinely remorseful and Lance's family acted with complete class. I distinctly remember being very impressed by the comments made by his mother. I did a quick Google search and found how the NMFC reacted to the incident:
Kangaroos coach Dean Laidley says Sinclair's actions were out of character.
"We want to play hard tough footy and you can't get away from that, but we certainly don't want Jess Sinclair incidents happening," he said.
"Jess made a mistake, there's no doubt about that. In a split second he's made the wrong decision which we all have to live with. Certainly we don't condone what Jess has done."
Laidley says Sinclair is extremely upset and has telephoned Picioane and apologised for the incident.
"Jess took off down the coast yesterday and has been in my office this morning nearly in tears," he said.
"He's already spoken to Lance and I don't know what happened in that conversation, but it's not a good thing. But let me tell you, he's feeling pretty ordinary at the moment."
Lets see what we get from St Kilda.
