Howe many?

[Tex9798]

I think the Fisher incident will cop the bigger suspension, especially if the fracture is confirmed.

Cripps hit: Intentional - Low impact - High = 1 match (Maybe they say medium impact which would be 2 matches but doubtful).
Fisher trip: Intentional - High impact - Body = 2 matches (If the fracture puts Fisher out for the rest of the season they might say severe which would be 3 matches)

I'd say 3 to 4 matches.

You aren't getting "severe" impact for that trip lol

Will be unlucky to miss a 2nd game, but the media has spoken, and the hounds must be sated.

I stated high impact. If he has fractured Fisher's leg... I would say that's high impact.

 

[Marcus DuQuesne]

Haha put your pitch forks down.

Look it's reasonably obvious that he went to hit him in the chest and Cripps just turned and lowered his body a few inches as he pushed off to run.

I really doubt he intended to just jab him on the chin.

Comparing it to Hall or Bugg is ridiculous

The replay shows him pivoting off his left leg and rotating his hips into the punch...not a jab. Cripps body movement is minimal. He hit him in the face and he meant it. So you can sugar coat...fairy floss it any way you like but that was an old fashioned wack in full view of the cameras..weak as piss 4-6

 

[Marcus DuQuesne]

Folks.

In this thread, Howe has been called a "dog" "shit player" "grub" and a "faux tough guy"
Cripps has also copped abuse in this thread and he's the damn victim (flop, glass jaw etc)
Can we not have a civil discussion on any topic, without using abuse.
We know players and, probably more importantly, family and friends of players visit these forums so cut the crap.

What he did was bad, and he'll cop his right whack for it.
The AFL have a system in place to look after these sorts of things.
It's called the MRO. You may or may not have heard of it.

In my book, these things deserve probably 3 weeks.
But, based on history, it'll be 1 or 2.

As Pink Floyd sang " Footy it's a hit don't give us that do goody good bull shit"!

Is that for one incident or two?

[Monkey King]

Yeah 2 weeks for the Cripps punch.

The ump throwing the ball in right on top of a collapsed Cripps should be adrressed too.

The Fisher trip is worse IMO. Throws the leg out and breaks the other guy’s leg. Not cool.

Christ you are dramatic, barely pivots and Cripps body position is probably about 15 cm lower than when he went to hit him.

If Cripps never moved that hits him in the chest.

He is stuffed, he'll cop a week but sincerely doubt he meant to hit him on the chin unless he is that good he got a moving Target, should take up boxing in that case.

Also 4-6, quit trolling, low impact at worst, Cripps obviously unaffected with 30 disposals and 2.1.

 

[HairyO]

To all those saying Medium impact. That is the grading for sending someone off with concussion. If its anything more than 1 week then I would be amazed.

Though that is not to say the MRO wont come up with this. Depends on the media outrage.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Can’t argue low impact...

Could argue that he was trying to trap the ball on the ground (just before fisher gathers)
But i think the MRO will find a way to combine the two incidents to give him 1 -2 weeks which is probably not unreasonable.

Howe was off balance and falling when the leg went out. Could easily argue accident. Can be sure that a higher profile player would get that leniency. Particularly given how many are out of the running for the Brownlow.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Fisher out for the season. Hope Howe cops the biggest suspension we-ever seen in a very long time.

Scum bag

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Obviously didn’t want to hit him in the jaw but Cripps lowered down to push off just as he swung.

Unlucky, but its 2 weeks.

Geez, a sensible post. I reckon it will be graded as medium impact and he'll get two weeks. It was stupid and he deserves a whack for being so.

The trip - I dunno. One angle looks totally innocuous, the other not so. It looks careless rather than intentional to me- did fracture the guys leg but he wasn't swinging the leg. I think careless, body and high impact will give him an extra week.

Sensible BS. He hit him on the jaw with a well executed short right punch. Brain fade spur of the moment..instinctive..self preservation ..all those things that make us human but any attempt to downplay is complete BS. He should get a minimum of 3 for the punch.

Your the one trolling WhateverTF that means. You doubt he meant to hit him on the chin..so you know what he meant do you....Barely pivots...you can't barely pivot you do or you do not. About 15 cm. Everything for you is barely about doubt...in other words you have know idea. The picture tells the story he punched him on the jaw for no good reason . He had a brain fart and did an instinctive thing. Now he SHOULD pay the price. That's not dramatic they are the Facts! Why Taggers seamingly get special privileges when it comes to their job I have no idea. Taggers generally are a blight on the game.

 

[Great8]

I don’t think the punch warrants anything but the trip probably is worth 1-2 especially if he has a broken leg.
Knowing the AFL though he will get a pair of two’s and miss 4 weeks

 

[KermitJagger]

The punch was dumb, no intent to hit him in the jaw.

The trip is the more worrying one, careless with high impact - he'll see 2 weeks for that and potentially one for the punch as well.

He's had a lot of these brain fades lately!

 

[jameses]

He plays for Hawthorn, he'll get an apology from Chrisso

LOL when your captain is Selwood don't talk shit about the MRO protecting certain players/teams.

Howe should get two weeks IMO.

Cripps - Intentional - Medium - High = 2 weeks
Fisher - Intentional - Severe - Body = 3 weeks

5 weeks.

 

[CakeEater]

Should get more than Nyhuis got for a non footballing incident.

But he wont, so 1 week off for him

 

[Pessimistic]

What Tex got

For which incident should he get the two weeks? The punch or breaking Fishers leg

 

[Boxhead_31]

What Tex got

When di Tex end someones season by breaking their leg via a deliberate trip?

 

[blueboy25]

So you are saying you can punch someone in the face and it warrants nothing?
