Conor McKenna charged with biting

[Professor Knowall]

Apparently Whoosha baked McKenna at the prior break, pleading with him to play with hunger ...

McKenna was lucky not to give away the 50m penalty after conceding the free than holding him down after the incident - players have been pinged for holding up the play to a far lesser extent.

50m would have been harsh. Its not like he ran within 4m of him whilst not affecting him in any way whotsoever. I mean, not being able to get up and take your kick because some bloke is holding you down allowing all his mates to flood back hardly affects the play. Imagine if the breeze of the player running through made the ball slip out of his hands?

CH7 footage of the hickey

He’s cooked.

They never mentioned it was a LOVE bite - let the man play!

2 weeks. It’s hardly malicious but it shouldn’t be condoned.

 

[Truckosaurus]

From memory, Masten had Suban on top of him and grabbing his head. It looks a lot worse when the biter is the one on top in the scuffle. Absolutely bizarre case - he seemed more pissed off about a fair tackle than that Canadian weight lifter. Has McKenna always been that mental?

 

[Bald]

Should be 4 weeks.

 

[Orange Agent]

You can see Dickson's reaction when it happens. He should get 6 weeks and Essendon should tell him to plead guilty, disgraceful way to behave just because a player legally runs him down.

Looks like the mark that my sister came home with the other night. Definitely had a bit of a nibble of the neck.

wtf you doing with your sister ?

 

[Numtums]

Should be 4 weeks.

Should be a crushing sentence. Masten getting 2 was a farce.

I'd like to see 6-8 weeks!

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Didn't look like the spot on Dickson's neck lined up with where they came together but I guess it must have. Could that have happened if he just had his mouth open and scraped rather than bit down. Seemed too quick for a bite but looks like he got him with teeth regardless. Strange incident.

He does come from a part of the world noted for producing first grade menatlists with a penchant for creative and effective violence.

Nah, McGregor is a Dub.

McKenna is from Dungannon. Given his name, the sport he plays, and his comments last year about being Irish, not Northern Irish, I reckon we would have been in this team had he been born forty years ago. They would have been his local unit.

 

[Arctic fox]

So how is the tribunal going to understand him when he gives his version of events?

Some footage of the incident, shows Dickson grabbing his neck afterwards.

I said she came home with it. I was obviously already at home. I assumed that everyone would understand that but I guess I should have considered dogs fans. My bad

 

[Blues_Man]

Can he claim he heard somebody call Dickson a spud ..and that his natural reactions took over ?

 

[Big Blood]

Can we make a list of greatest AFL/VFL bites? This is an area of our sport that doesn't get nearly enough coverage.

Filandia broke the competition for this. Anything else is just padding.

Can you ask her why she isn't returning my calls?

 

[MattyB_76]

So McKenna has plead guilty in the first few minutes of the hearing.

Is this the first time an Essendon player has plead guilty to anything?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Anymore then 3 and it's a joke.
