Going to be interesting to see how they judge the Hawkins jumper punch.
And won't he and his coach be absolutely mystified. Dumbstruck might be a better word. He's got to be one of the dumbest footballers going around when it comes to this sort of stuff. And every time he gets penalised for the most obvious infraction - free kick, 50 metre penalty, report, whatever - each time his reaction is priceless.

Well, you have to feel a bit for him. He has gotten away with it forever almost. Then he does it right out in the open when the MRP have just made a big song and dance about it so they have almost no choice. How was he to know that he wasn't going to be immune (again) this time.

I think that the other time he got done was when there had been a bit of a crackdown - just from memory.

Anyway, one week is pretty light for a bloke with priors.

Jesus H Christ. Gerard doesn't think Hawkins deliberately threw a punch.

And Robbo is having a go at Crouch for going down. Yet he called for Cunnington to be executed, based on Vince going down.
I don't think Vince was faking. I think committed a dirty and dangerous act, then had the audacity to front up to Cunnington and consider himself untouchable.

I bet he was a younger sibling who would whack his older brother than hide behind him mum and avoid retaliation.

My only surprise was that he wasn't charged with one of their facourite "catch all" charges like "rough conduct", as a strike can often be defended.

Take the week. Done!

With his current run of outs and players returning he may well have to fight for a spot in the Werribee 1sts in a couple of weeks.

Matt Rosa can accept 1 game, striking DThomas.
Jake Stringer ($1500), Neville Jetta ($1000) can accept fines for wrestling each other.

Sam Mitchell cleared contact JSelwood. Panel said action not a striking motion and insufficient high contact for a report to be laid.

Alex Rance cleared in actions v LFranklin. Under its guidelines, MRP said any exaggeration of contact was not excessive.
