Retired #45: Conor McKenna ☘️ - Returning to the AFL to play with Brisbane - 17/11

[TheGreatBarryB]

From the footage that must have been a extremely quick bite, barely lingered over the guys neck.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

must have been a very quick bite or a very tiny nip. If there was a bite the mark left it should have been near his jawline / below the ear as it never looked like Conor made any contact near the top of chest / collarbone area where the mark is.

 

[Darealrath]

Dickson didn't react like you'd expect if there was a bite. Players usually flip out when something like this happens.

That said I doubt they'd just make it up.

#MyBoy update: This incident has been tough to swallow, but I'm going to bite my tongue for now and hold off on being too judgmental. We don't want to eat our own, and certainly not without much substance to the allegation just yet. These sorts of acts aren't usually in our neck of the woods, so I think it's important we don't mouth off too early.

From the footage there's no way he actually bit him properly. His teeth dragged across his skin I guess. Is that a bite? I dunno.

 

[Beerfish]

Look it doesn't matter if he didn't do it. He did it. /ralph

 

[Lore]

Doesn't really matter if it would classify strictly as a bite or not. He's not accused of biting (except by the media), he's accused of "serious misconduct".

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

As I said yesterday I’ll be pissed if he gets more then 3 can’t believe some in the media saying 6 weeks are they for real?

Robbo again overcompensating in case anyone calls him biased.

because it’s Essendon you have to add extra on top.

 

[jmoo wan]

it’s 100% racially motivated. old mate not happy foreigners are coming in and taking our jobs. Classic Tory attitude

 

[Andronicus]

Decision incoming.....

 

[DonsRule]

Pleading guilty according to Stevo

I can't take him seriously.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'm going with 3 but because it's Essendon you have to add extra

 

[Summer Nights]

Is this Connor

Can’t believe that guy barked for so long!

 

[blitzer]

Finally one of our players shows some mongrel.

But at least the coaches can have some fun with educating him. Next time he plays, a big picture of his opponent up on the screen with a message "do not bite".

Pleading guilty according to Stevo

Well there isn't much upside in fighting when it'll probably be a "he said, she said" type thing.

Next time don't get so annoyed that he ran you down

 

[Lore]

Gleeson says appropriate penalty in light of the guilty plea is three weeks. Said he made that clear to Anderson in their discussions before McKenna decided to plead guilty.

Says lowest penalty should be two weeks, the highest four.

This better get a thousand likes

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

2 weeks woud be a win and from what's been reported didn't seem vicous.

 

[Lore]

Gleeson (AFL) says direct to tribunal indicates "serious" misconduct, therefore 2-4 weeks.
Chairman directing them to 2-4 weeks.
Anderson (EFC) arguing for 1 week + financial sanction, chairman dismisses argument.

[eth-dog]

[DapperJong]
