What the heck? Another cat in big trouble

[TheEscapeClub]

Yep! Straight to the tribunal in modern game. Was he even reported?

For what? It was legal then, it wasn't even a free kick. The rules wouldn't change for a year or 2 when Magro cleaned Jezza up.

Not sure Hodge has killed, r*ped or sexually assaulted anyone. Are you still sooking up over 2008? Of course you are!

I’d say he’s probably responding to a Hawks fan having a go at our club about our culture because someone who hasn’t pulled on a boot for 40 years for us committed a crime.

He could have mentioned former Hawk Billy Nicholls shooting two people rather than then-Hawk Hodge drink driving I guess. Or Brian Lake stalking and his burglary and DV efforts. Or Dayle Garlett who only needed a pre-season at the Hawks to turn into a drug addled meth head robbing the elderly and assaulting them in their own homes. I’m sure I can keep going. Because clearly these things are all ‘kulcha’ related to the current hawks team. If Ray Jenke gets done for murder it’s the fault of Sam Mitchell and his staff.

Those are much better examples - and illustrate the point he was trying to make far more effectively.

Now he can come back with Turner the rapist, Thompson the dealer, Newman the philandera, Ablett the accidental adolescent poisoner, Stokes the dealer etc.

But of course, two wrongs don’t make a right.

And I will ask the same question. What do these things have to do with our club. I went to Charles Sturt University 22 years ago. If I go out and stab someone, should the staff there now be put on trial for it?

Was the Kulture full of stabbers, or stabees?

You may have guessed that I’m not that interested - outside of the initial comparison of comparing Culpable driving to a low level DUI.

If there was a backstory related to the relative cultures and ‘was the incident indicative of culture’ - I missed it.

But I only have your word to say there was - and I can’t be fooked reading it.

I don’t think anyone with a brain is interested in drawing a connection between a current organisation and its staff and culture and someone who played for them half a century ago.

Dare I say it, was like a car crash.

Because that's what it was.
Up until about 30 years ago Australian rules football was a contact sniper’s sport.

In other breaking news, Arthur Brennan (St Kilda star who played 1 game) spent 12 months in jail after being convicted of Bigamy in 1914.

Nothing wrong with that, bigamy ain't no crime.

BIGamy IF TRUE!

BIGamy IF TRUE!

Imagine… BIG Footy in 1914 had a different meaning.

Perfectly legitimate at the time... play on! It was a different game then, they played Aussie Rules in the 1980s, not sure what they call it today?

Honestly, I've probably asked three different Geelong supporters this and they have all said he was an ordinary footballer.

What made him very good?

won a b and f. but honestly, had never heard of him.

He was tough in a tough era and plenty of skill.
He also won a best and fairest, you’re usually ok when you win one of those.
I saw him play plenty of times, along with Jack Hawkins and Gary Malarkey they were my favourite Geelong players from that era. I’m not going off internet search results.

Was a tough player with a bit of skill. Also president of the past players association and has been a big part of the off field side of things

Yep and the more delicate may be shocked to discover what he did was perfectly legal then.

That's why it was called a "shirt front". He hit him with the shoulder - no elbow, no fist - and the ball was right in between them. Running back with the flight of the ball as Greig did was one hundred times more courageous then.
