MRP / Trib. Conca Gets 2 Weeks

[tigs2010]

Should've been more was an absolute dog act. You don't whack a bloke from behind. Ever. Lost a fair bit of respect with that.

Bloke shouldn't have run away after decking him and he could have punched him in the face.

Gotta love Neil Mitchell on 3aw this morning. Conca was a headline story. "Should we call in the police". Brings in David Galbally the hot shot lawyer. "Should be charged with assault". Bloody hell. Did someone die on the field???? He's been suspended FFS. There's been far worse acts of thuggery over the years. Get over it you morons.

Were these players raised in a bubble? I've stubbed my toe and hurt myself more than Conca's hit.

That's spot on.

Hitting a guy in the back of the head as he's leaving the ground is about as low as it gets. Whether or not Smith was badly injured is totally irrelevant. Conca is extremely lucky to be playing again this season.

Maybe Smith shouldn't have thrown a few while his jumper was over his head and run away like a little bitch...

Medium impact Lmao shit I reckon it hardly warranted a low impact grading.No doubt the 2 weeks was for the bad look of it all .

Spoke to Reece Sunday night couple hours after the Coburg VFL game.
Said he had a massive brain fade after the guy hit him below the sternum behind the play.He was down about his poor act.
Any one that knows the young kid would know he hasn't got a mean streak in him.
This is why the penalty was less than some on here expected due to his lovely nature and good record. I think both kids involved in the incident stated the truth when contacted and Reece was given the benefit of the doubt.
My pensioner mate TigerM...... told him he was disappointed in him for hitting a bloke from behind.Reece agreed that it was poor and stupid so we left it at that.
I was disappointed also and he was lucky to get the 3 down to 2, but he will do his time and be an even better person after the event.

I always thought BF was full of keyboard warriors but it seems they've all turned into a bunch of keyboard fairies on the main thread.

Herald Sun running with it now...

David Galbally QC said the hit was “a cowardly act and it’s clearly an assault”.

“I would say call in the police,” Mr Galbally told 3AW this morning.

Two weeks is fair. It was a stupid act that is a bad look for the game.
He's a better player than that.
Funnily enough if it was done in thugby league there would have been a penalty and the game would have moved on...after an all-in brawl that is.

fair size can of worms that would open. Pederson should charge Merritt after all there was more damage done

_RT_ please wind up that lmach dude some more. Seems ready to snap

 

[thecotch]

I don't normally listen to neil mitchell due to the fact he's the biggest drama queen known to man (plus there was an ad break on SEN). "CALL THE POLICE, REECE CONCA KILLED SOMEONE. LET'S CALL IN THE HOT SHOT 3AW-PAID LAWYER TO PROVE ME RIGHT TOO". Now I'm convinced never to listen to that monkey's program ever again. Nothing but drivel and over-dramatised tripe!!

 

[Tiger71]

Just sentence IMO. Personally I would have given that GWS a week as well. From what I heard Conca's elbow is quite sore!

 

[Cotcho]

Absolutely disgraceful sentence for Reece and Vickery. Didn't they match review panel guys have childhoods or are they just ignoring the "He started it!" rule. Probably the most important rule!! Mum and the teachers always claimed "it didn't matter" but it so always did.

We need a petition started!! Reinstate the "he started it" and the "boys will be boys" rules!! Easily the best and most logical rules!! lol

Devon - "MUUUMMMM, Reece punched me!"
Mum - "Reece....did you punch Devon?"
Reece - " HE STARTED IT!"
Mum - "It doesn't matter, you know you can't punch people"
Reece - "ok"
Mum - "Apologise to Devon"
Reece - "srre"
Mum - "What was that?"
Reece - "SORRY!"
Mum - "Reece, say it like you mean it!"
Reece - "Fine....Sorry!"
Mum - "Now go and play nicely"

Mum - "I'm worried about Reece's temper!"
Dad - "Ahhh well, boys will be boys"

The end

Yep never seen such outcry for forearm push.

 

[theflea]

not surprised but i thought the guy putting him in a headlock beforehand maybe wouldve got a wrestling fine too.

Or the fact that I reckon he may have been face/eye gouged right at the start when his jumper was over his head, which I think was why he reated the way he did. not condoning the result but can understand it.

Bloody lawyers, fair dinkum if you want to go down the assault line, every elbow, strike, knee, jumper punch are ALL an assault of varying degree's, so why start now?

Knob.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

The police wouldn't even lay a charge for that. Christ sake read the crime pages and the sentences given and you'd be stunned at how lenient courts are, lol 2 years some peanuts were claiming. If he wanted to **** Smith over properly he would of used his LEFT elbow to the head not his right.

Seriously the outrage on the main board is unbelievable.
