Hodge Chickenwing

[Masto]

Well, I thought the original Judd suspension was absurd but I don't see how this was any different. Twisted Selwood's arm behind his back until he injured it. How many weeks?

 

[PendlesPremiers]

No, this was very, very different. Zero weeks.

 

[Taylor]

Isn't it always a risk that, if you lift the arm to try and draw your tackler's arm into a high contact, you assist the movement away from the body and since the tackler is behind applying a force towards the tackler, the arm is likely to go backwards and twist?

If the tacklee applies force away from themselves, trying to break the tackle away from the tackler, it wouldn't be a problem.

Moral of the story; if the arm isn't trying to flip up to draw high contact the elbow won't get behind the back.

 

[Masto]

How was it different?

 

[ManOfClay]

Nothing in it.

 

[Keyza]

He was just trying to avoid his team mate wasnt he? Embley should try to same defense.

 

[sedders]

funny how many people hodge accidently injures

dog act but will be zero weeks of course. protected

 

[The_Reaper]

0 weeks

 

[Tatts22]

On first look didn't appear to be a 'dog act' will have to have another look but arm just seemed to get caught up

0 weeks - no report

Embley on the other hand.....

 

[Byron_Clanger]

No weeks in all probability, might have had trouble if he took last weeks reprimand and had carry over points though

You can't seriously think thats the same

 

[Glenno23]

No where near the same. Judd kept pulling

Hodge let go of Selwood's arm when he realised how far back it was bent.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Zero

 

[Hawkforce]

OP 7 weeks for not understanding the basics of football.

So he let go of it after he realised he had deliberately caused an injury? That makes it alright then. Hawks fans needn't worry though, because Hodges Channel 7 mates have already cleared him of any guilt & made sure they didn't replay it over & over ad infinitum.

Didn't look deliberate - let go of it when he realised his arm had got caught up whilst going for the ball. Bit different to a player lying defenceless on the ground & having his arm pulled up behind him.

 

[The King!]

Hodge can do what he wants, he is tough remember

 

[Spitta09]

are eagles supporters the must moronic, one eyed, whinging supporters in the afl?

Yes. I can't believe many of them are saying they were screwed by the umpires tonight.

There didn't seem to be a lot in this incident. Embley meanwhile will get 3 or 4 weeks

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Pic please?

 

[erbenz]

Clearly accidental even though it gave me the shits at the time (Purely because we had three or four sore blokes at once).

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes I wonder if he is just really good at making it look accidental.

What this guy said

If so, that would make him an excellent sniper.

 

[christoff91]

lol.

Just another colossal sook from a Carlton supporter

Nothing in it, play on.
