Given Hodge only got 3 after being referred directly to the Tribunal.

No. After consulting the MRP table of penalties, I said they'd both get two matches.
I was somewhat surprised when the MRP invoked the "potential to cause injury" clause in Hodge's case and sent it to the tribunal because they weren't happy with the 2 match suspension. Not really surprised - I just didn't realise the MRP had that as an option. Langford's jaw could've been broken from McVeigh's king hit, so it will be interesting to see if they send McVeigh straight to the tribunal. Probably not. I suspect that crap about "injury potential" is more about the public reaction.
Not sure why you'd say Lewis v Goldstein was worse than McVeigh v Langford.
Similar dirty intent - both late head-high hits on an unsuspecting opponent - both disguised as an in-play action.
Similar force involved - both players were dropped to the turf and were dusty, but managed to recover and luckily suffered no injury.
Lewis was closer to "spoiling" the ball vs Goldstein than McVeigh was in "tackling" Langford
The King!

I think mcveigh should be looked at a week or two wouldnt surprise me, i could also seem him getting off but it is a lotto
I am just surprised you are so extra outraged by it, you are normally a rationale reasoned poster in my opinion. But painting mcveigh as some thug like this incident is Hall on Staked is a bit much
But we dont have to agree, lets see what happens
I just fear now you may be lost to the game given your earlier statement
Late hit by NcVeigh??? err WTF??? If that was late I'm the next Pope.
I saw an incident in another game yesterday that hasn't even been mentioned yet. Every bit as reckless as what Lewis did, player struck in the head, and yet the commentators were quite happy it was okay, even though at first they all went "Oooooohhhh!!!". I've lost the plot when it comes to reportable incidents.

Who ? When ? Which quarter ?
I'd prefer not to mention the player just yet, I'm going to wait and see what comes of it. The player run through and jumped recklessly in the air and his hip made contact with a player who had his head over the ball, and stayed down when hit. From previous reports from various players, I'd have said at least 2 matches, but the commentators didn't seem to think so.
Hint: The game was telecast in Adelaide, but not in Melbourne.

Come on mate. I made it pretty clear in my posts that I don't get too angry like everyone else about so-called "snipers" and "thugs". I was having a crack at people's double-standards when it came to Hodge and Lewis compared to McVeigh hit. Do you really think the public reaction would be this muted if it was Lewis who belted Hannebery like that? There would be a 15 page thread on here and headlines and photos all over the Sunday papers. There is a definite double standard.
I'm not outraged by McVeigh. It's footy. Shit happens. Players get hyper-aggressive when the stakes are high and sometimes they do dirty shit. I don't mind about all that. I don't hate McVeigh. I just want to see some consistency from the AFL and media.
If players are permitted to belt their opponent in the head from behind - belt a bloke who doesn't even have the ball in a pathetic attempt to disguise it as a tackle - then there is no point in following the game. It's just anarchy.
They've already lost me. The AFL has lost the plot when it comes to managing the game, enforcing basic rules, rewarding the stagers and duckers, and trying to "equalise" the comp and micro-manage every single aspect of the off-field stuff. They are basically taking a million dollars from the Hawthorn members and handing it to that fraud, Paul Roos.

Definitely a hit, though not a lot of force in it. 1-2 weeks IMO.
You like little kids?
If you think that was a late hit, you need to get to be OPSM.You like little kids?

Well they didn't have much to say when Jetta and Hannebery had late hits to the head in the Grand Final, so I think we can say yes, it probably would be pretty muted.
This is even better than the time Hodge tripped Wellingham and Hawks fans defended it as Hodge "attempting to bodily block with his leg".

McVeigh and Mitchell should both be rubbed out for at least one match however the insufficient force argument will be used. Dirty play is dirty regardless if team colours.

Be interesting to see if anything comes from Shaw leaving the ground
Was watching play leave Hawks forward 50m and next thing Shaw is doubled over as though he'd copped one to the guts and ended up leaving the ground
Only hawk in cooee was Roughead

They had a replay of it. A front on bump behind play. Dunno what will be made of it.
Hodge's was off the ball.
Lewis' missed the ball by about 3 feet.
McVeigh's tackling was fine. I don't mind adding a bit of swing to your arm. But was high.
I don't think it's a conspiracy to say it's worth a fine to 1 week. Somewhere around there. It's much softer than Lewis/Hodge.
Yes it could be compared to the Sam Mitchell incident and if McVeigh's profile was as high in Victoria as Mitchell's then it might.

Mmmmm!
To me it seems like Macca tried replicate Steve Johnsons hit on his nut bag where he just received a fine & everything was OK.
Looking at that picture, Isn't that where the nuts are on D Heads

Should get 2 weeks - pissweak behaviour which needs to be discouraged.
