No rule for attempted striking.
If it connected even just a tiny bit, rules say he's gotta go for it.

Fairy nuts. I wasn't aware of that. Didn't think there was such a rule.Rioli was suspended for attempted striking. Farcical.
Now your talking! He's got Mitch Duncan wrecking the furniture too.Chris Scott needs to be sacked for this.
He's turned Ablett into a thug.
I did it once when I was pissed out the front of the Barwon Club.How bad do you have to be too not even manage to actually make contact when taking a swing at an opponent
That was you?!! **** sorry!I did it once when I was pissed out the front of the Barwon Club.
Missed by a mile and landed on my knees, then got punched in the head about 10 times lol.
But you have an excuse, or is the suggestion that Rioli had also been drinking which is why he swung & missed?I did it once when I was pissed out the front of the Barwon Club.

All good. I had it coming. I should really stop trying to sell people Amway products when I'm out.That was you?!! **** sorry!
Nah, one miss from Rioli is worth 20 punches by someone else.But you have an excuse, or is the suggestion that Rioli had also been drinking which is why he swung & missed?
They changed it to a fine after Cywil got done, just in case he did it again.Fairy nuts. I wasn't aware of that. Didn't think there was such a rule.

I'm gonna go out on a limb now and say that game will be the loudest recorded booing in an Aussie Rules game.Mark Stevens on 7 just confirmed we will not be appealing. Good to hear. Rest up Gaz, you’ve got some Tigers to torment next week.
geelong board friend ..id not be commenting on Geelong opinions with that type comment.
Typical Hawk luck even the MRP decided to help them improve their side...Rioli was suspended for attempted striking. Farcical.
The only good to come out of this soft utensil suspension could be they might put a stop to the Cotchin / Fyfe style of free range sniping.1 week's fair enough, he could only run the gauntlet for so long. Will be nice and fresh for the game against the Tigers, and a bit annoyed too.

Possibly any sport.
Can't argue the AFL is not influenced by American sports - just a case of 3 strikes and you're out.
