Oppo Camp 2016 non-Geelong match and general football (Australian Rules) discussion - Part II

[Catman]

Surprise Surprise Lewis the dog escaped suspension.

Where's that halfwit Nathan Burke now?

From June 7...

“That system has been in play now for a year-and-a-half so it’s about time people started to realise that for the intentional strike to the head, the minimum is two weeks down to one."

Why doesn't someone in the media try to hold these fools accountable?

AFL probably told the media if they criticised the MRP they would lose their head.

Such is the totalitarianism of the AFL

Relax,halfwit #2 has stepped up to the plate

“The Lewis one was an interesting one, because it involved Lewis hitting Lycett on the shoulder — the contact was made and the force of the blow was in the shoulder,” Christian explained on Tuesday.

“It (deviated) to the ... side of the jaw. The force was to the shoulder initially, and with whatever — whether it was sweat — it glanced off that and then into his neck.”

Christian said attempting parallels between the Lewis incident and that of Cats star Tom Hawkins — who was suspended for one match for striking Giant Phil Davis in Round 11 — is off the mark.

“At the end of the day, comparing that to Hawkins — Hawkins was a direct punch to the chin, whereas this one was a punch to the shoulder which brushed off the shoulder and did make some contact to the neck,” Christian said on RSN.

Sweat caused it to glance off his shoulder and into his neck/chin? Oh, ok then. What an amazing justification.

Sounds like an O.J defence

Dane Swan retires.

So many great memories of him v Ling in countless blockbusters, finals and ultimately a grand final between 2007-2011.

I believe that is the technical term... yes...

GO Catters

Good call by Adelaide accepting Sloane's suspension. I was hoping they would appeal.

The lesson to be learned is, if you're going to punch someone in the head, make sure your knuckle strikes a bead of sweat on their shoulder en route.

Seriously, it is comical that they have tried to separate these instances on that reasoning.

MRP is one big elaborate troll. It has to be.

Pakistan could do with some in the slips.

To be honest Lewis shouldn't cop a week for that. the problem is that neither should have Hawkins.

Feel for them. Ridiculous suspension.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

He's correct, that's flat out cheating.

and it'll likely see the Dingley Dumpsters scrape into top 4.

As much as I like Sloane, he deserved a week.

Burke probably still holds a grudge against Geelong from that time Gaz Snr rearranged his face at Waverley. What a tool.

MRP promises if a Hawks player ever hits someone that isn't sweaty they'll come under the complete force of the written rules.

It will be OK if the sweat causes it to slip from his jaw to his shoulder.

If you want a good laugh, read the comments the accompany that article on the Herald Sun site.

Apparently what Lewis did is ok because he was lying on the ground with big scary Lycett standing over him, so he was merely protecting himself and acting in self defence for he feared for his life. While for Hawkins, he was standing on two feet and is a sniper who finally got what he deserved.

Reading through the comments one would think that the Hawks players are the victims here who never do anything wrong, that poor lil Hodge is the only player ever suspending for an act that could have caused injury, I guess they forgot about the time young Joel was reported for showing some brotherly love out west.

Lil Mitchell is also a victim, violently targeted by the likes of Harvey who should have been suspended for an eternity for his actions the other weekend - maybe a slight exaggeration on my part, but you get an idea of the bullshit being said.
