Abblet high contact again

[Testekill]

He did it a week after getting let off, can't see how they argue it down this time.

He’s got a 329 game clean record.

Because last week was wiped from the record because he had a clean record.

Right duh, forgot he got the fine dropped as well

 

[Coasters7]

There still has to be enough force to warrant a suspension. Otherwise guys will be getting done left right and center

In isolation I’d agree. But it’s becoming a pattern where he’ll seriously hurt someone if he connects sweetly

Chris Scott says NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!….All clear

the North guy was trying to avoid contact to continue his run. Gaz literally changed direction to block him and subsequently elbowed him in the head. It's definitely intentional contact but will probably be insufficient force.

The North player was coming at GAJ at such high speed and therefore force that GAJ had no hope in keeping his arms below his head. I also think the North player slightly ducked to be honest which led to that slight head high contact. Didn't see any malice and ill intent in Gary's eyes, he is just not that type of guy. I think also age is playing a factor, younger GAJ would've had the upper body strength to keep that contact low.

Gets off the ground again to make contact.

 

[randyzany]

It's age I tell ya, his reflexes aren't what they used to be.

 

[Donakebab]

He literally jumped and lunged outstretched to hit him with the forearm. Can't use the clean skin excuse again given he starting to do it every week.

 

[SheezNuts]

Intentionally lines up a player without the football, leaves the ground and intentionally elbows to the head.. any other player gets suspended.

 

[Boxhead_31]

The FoxFooty commentators don't seem to think there's much in this somehow, but this is a completely unnecessary elbow to the head for the second week in a row...

Thoughts?

Will get less time than Durdin

Alright.....

 

[damochandler]

It’s as if he’s trying to prove he’s not a clean skin and he can be a tough guy as well

And if he does he will suffer the consequences.

Changes direction elbow raised and cocked, Cats fans will defend him again, but should get done this time. However I expect Michael Christian to be gun shy after last week and just issue a fine.

 

[Woody15]

Jumps up and at him with a raised elbow when the ball is long gone.

Only thing that might save him a week off might be the level of force.

But yeh.. fair player and all that..

 

[randyzany]

Alright.....

Good to know we're on the same page. I hate to see his name being besmirched unfairly. The clash was clumsy at worst. That said GAJ should really give up the arm blocks a rest for a while and concentrate on tackling instead, much safer that way and won't risk being up for the MRP.

 

[teddies]

agreed, little Gaz will keep getting away with elbowing blokes in the head until he collapses someone's face. Then he'll get a week.

 

[Captivating]

Not a very Christian act.

So what I’m saying is.. isn’t it better to stamp out an obvious problem early, before someone is put in hospital? Not malicious enough for a 4+ weeker but it definitely deserves 1-2 for the stupidity to do it a second time. Would give him enough time to think and reconsider leading with elbows and raised arms..

Nah, Gary's doing it to troll Richmond BF posters now

I agree it's stupid (although unintentional imo) just don't think you can rub someone out if the force isn't there.
