How many for Darcy?

[Lavender Bushranger]

Butts has been shown to do nothing out of the ordinary. Any holds he makes on opponents should be paid. Bad umpiring doesn't mean Butts deserves to be whacked.

I kind of think it does.

Just because the umpire doesn't see it, doesn't mean it's not cheating.

Havent seen the incident but hes the new media golden child so will get off no doubt.

Punctured lung is usually caused by trauma (e.g. high speed or heavy weight impact), medical procedure or underlying medical condition(s).

How hard did Darcy (allegedly) hit Butts?

If he's cheating he should be punished. Let's see what happens.

The AFL will take steps to eradicate what Darcy did from the game very soon.

And they will scapegoat a battling or unfashionable player to do it, a’la Paul Curtis’ tackle.

If Tomahawk was still playing, you'd know he'd do it next week and get shitcanned for it

Well he used those same cement hands that dropped like 20 marks on Saturday, so it would have hurt.

Personally, i think this should have been treated like the bump is. You choose to bump and it goes wrong and you cause injury you’re in trouble. You choose to strike someone (a non-football action) and you get it wrong and they get injured like this then you’re in trouble.

I think back to the Gaff incident with Brayshaw. He was trying to strike the chest and got it wrong and copped his rightful suspension.

So Marcus Windhager then?

F****** laughable that he can be fined for the Daicos one and then another ‘star of the comp’ does exactly the same thing and gets off. absolute BS

But he didn't get it wrong. He pushed him in the chest.

He struck him in a non-football act and got it wrong in terms of causing an injury.

Anyone knowingly breaking the rules to gain advantage is cheating. By definition.

Deserves at least a week. Dog act.

was it butts who threw him to the ground before the siren? Bullying an unsuspecting player is the dog act. Sam gave him a love tap, hows he to know Butts has brittle rib syndrome?

 

[Outback Footy]

If being a campaigner is cause for physical violence the wards would be overflowing.

I'm happy to let Bulldogs fans whinge about Butts' glass lung because what Darcy did happens a 100 times a game but if you are going to pretend haymakers are ok then you are one silly, silly sausage.

Calling that love tap/push a haymaker is the silly part.

 

[smasha]

If a Richmond player,8 weeks.

Love tap?
Did more damage than Lynch's non strike which the media went like rabies pigs over.

 

[Outback Footy]

So Sam Darcy off the ball deliberately struck Butts in the chest with the heel of his hand (the strongest part) and caused a punctured lung.

So an intentional strike/punch by a 208cm man and obviously delivered with force.

AFL nothing to see here.

Paul Curtis produces a sensational rundown tackle that unintentionally caused a concussion.

AFL 3 weeks suspension.

It doesn't matter whether the actions of Darcy happen multiple times during a game without incident or he had no ill intent.

Players throughout a game lay tackles and bumps without incident and no intent to harm and yet if they choose to do them and it goes wrong they might face a consequence.

Jordon Butts sure did.

Strange how "jumper punches" have become a more acceptable part of the game than a tackle gone unintentionally wrong.

Do you mean the Curtis charge straight at cleary? That was hardly a "run down" tackle, it was a head on collision lol

Jumper push like Darcys you see dozens every game, a haymaker like Lynch's has pretty much been stamped out. And so it should be. Clearly Butts has glass ribs

Cool. Hopefully one day you'll be able to prove how especially bad Butts is.

Lolz.
Lynch did not make contact.

 

[Mofra]

The footage is pretty damning.

100% ...
tom was public enemy number 1.
will be interesting how the MRP go about this one.

Either you are suggesting Lynch pushed Butts or you can't read.

Both are equally funny.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Not sure I said he was especially bad

 

[Cyclonus]

You said he was a cheat who deserved to be whacked.

Deregister the club.
