Crawford

[Kapow!!!]

I don't think anyone has it in for Crawf - he's 99/100 a ball player, but lost the plot a bit on Saturday night. It's more the comparison with what Johnno got that is raising the ire of Freo supporters, rather than anything personal against Crawford or the Hawks.

Beat me to it. Agree wholeheartedly

"NHL's a rough game, but that's still compltely uncalled for. I don't think he should be kicked out of the league, but a 25 game suspension seems a bit weak."

Considering the NHL regular season runs for 82 games, then proportionately MJ's 4 weeks wasn't that far off. Maybe he should have just deliberately hit Hansen in the face with a stick.

Oh that's right, Crawford's case has already shown how harshly you're dealt with for a deliberate hit to the face (sans stick of course).

I agree that the tribunal is a load of crock (cmon, both of Crawford's attacks were to the head...aren't they cracking down on that?!) but IMO this will just make our boys stronger.

Since when do you shepherd with an elbow raised to the player's head?

Typical tribunal - the pretty boys get off scott free and they make an example of the youngsters.

ever since we invented the game!

Username (lethal03) after the only AFL/VFL player to have been convicted of assault in a court of law, for smashing a players jaw behind play. Yes the conviction was subsequently overturned, but it was still a gutless and dirty act.

A Jeff Farmer person? How did I become that? But regardless, Jeff Farmer actually does have legend status, as does Mathews, which is not to deny that Mathews was a dirty player who took cheap shots.

It must be true - men really do get grumpier as they get older.
