MRP / Trib. Hawkins escapes ban for elbow

[UnitedWarrior93]

Ok, Yeo gets off that, but Hawkins cops a week, does the AFL take us for fools?

* me it’s so bad.

 

[Hoops]

I have only seen it in slo-mo and looked soft but need to see it in normal time. Any footage?

 

[Pollywaffle]

Wash
Rinse
Repeat

At least its not a do or die final
We don't see all the niggle on the ground I guess but gee it looks like for a smart guy Hawkins is one dumb motherf**er..

 

[foxdog50]

Great we have both Harry and Hendo who can swing by the forward line to help out.

IF..... one of them went forward, who wpeople want...

 

[cats_09]

Is he even over there?

The whole squad (sans Ablett) is in the hub

 

[Mad_Hatter]

What pisses me off the most is that every ******* time he's been reported and rubbed out has been due to idiotic actions.
Grow a ******* brain you twit, you cost us a flag last year, if you can't learn from that what the hell will you learn from??!!

Ah ok cool. Hopefully get a chance to see Krueger. Won't be much else we can take from this coming week. Going to get belted.

 

[juzcat]

Frankly, I hope we don't appeal it. There was no provocation, it was just undisciplined. The club should take him to task. It happens too often and each time he laments he needs to show more discipline. He's an integral part of the team and he's let his team mates down - again. And I'm a Hawk fan.

Yep. Agree with your POV now.

If the reason for suspending players is that they are supposed to learn from there mistakes then we can see the falsehood of that argument throughout Hawkins career. Suspensions have never been enough of a deterrent, especially when players are getting suspended for increasingly more innocuous incidents.

Maybe it's time the AFL comes up with a system that actually hits players were it hurts (their hip pocket) and doesnt ruin the entertainment/spectacle of the game itself by suspending a vital player to the contest. Just a thought...

 

[frggr]

2007 where he faced a club suspension at the start of the season due to his off field indiscretions

That'ssss what I remember. Hawk probably a bit old for that sort of thing to have any affect.

 

[InnocentBystandr]

Watching the video on the AFL site, there is a noticeable delay between Hawk's hit and ol'mate throwing his head back. Yeo is lucky he didn't his a woose.

 

[waggacatssupporter]

Stupid? Yes

Worth a week? No bloody way, game is dead and will never be the same.

 

[JackFlash]

Time to part company with this bloke...?

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

I hope some of these replies are satire. Fair dinkum you're a fickle lot. Would have had Snr traded back to Hawthorn after his second season.

Appeal it, contact to the head was incidental, got him in the chest.

 

[r32godzilla]

Gerard and Robbo on AFL 360 reckon it's not worth a week and Geelong should appeal on the grounds of it being reckless not intentional. It was dumb, sure but he wasn't aiming for the head so how can you class it as intentional high contact. Primary point of contact looked like upper chest too.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

He should have got a free kick for holding the man.

 

[Purrfect pussy]

You’d think he would’ve learnt after what he potentially cost us last year!

If we don’t risk an extra week we should definitely be challenging.

 

[Grimoz]

How the * did Yeo get off, holy * the AFL just want us to fail, Hawkins did deserve a week though so im not to fazed, gives Kruger a shot now

 

[MotlopMagic]

He has form but that is weak as p***. Shouldn’t have even been looked at.

If Hawkins got a free kick every time he hand some defender hanging off his arm 20m off the play he'd kick twelve goals a game. Either that, or the scragging would stop pretty quick.

Instead the umps ignore it every week but are super vigilant when he gives someone a shove to the chest.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm not even mad. It's just his annual suspension coming around again. At least it's not 2 weeks again

 

[Cronin]

Henderson; Taylor playing too well down back.

But I would love to see Krueger get an opportunity, I mean why the * not

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yep. Agree with your POV now.

While he needs to be more disciplined the fact is it's not a reportable offence where and how he contacted him which isbwhy we should appeal.

It's clearly not intentional and reckless equals a fine.
