Attempted smother, nothing in it.

Don't care how many weeks he gets. A free kick would have been nice though

Or it was a footy act and Martin loves that guy to bits

Vossy in the presser when asked about Martin's hit on Blakey:

'Look, I've caught it on my phone, one view of it, one angle, looks like he was in the air... actually, I'll go back a step, I hope Nick's okay, that's my first thought, I've met him a couple times socially and he's a ripping guy'.

 

[hoss]

Obviously not as bad as Maynard's but I think he'll get two weeks for that indiscretion. Of course, with the 'Carlton clause' he may get off altogether.

They will grade it Reckless, High Contact, Low Impact

Free kick at best.

Is the game so soft we are even discussing this.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

A small fine, 0 weeks

Collingwood fans weirdly all turning into “bring back the biff” advocates, can’t imagine why…

1 to 2 weeks.

 

[Eshay187]

But also, Blakey was probably a “forgetting the prime minster’s name” away from not playing the last 3.5 quarters…honestly, red card rule needs to be on the table.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

• Attempt to spoil (footballing act)
• What else could he do?
• Blakey didn’t brace for contact, could’ve moved out of the way (moves like a lizard)
• Martin has a cool hair cut and is pretty tough bruz

0 weeks and Martin compensated for wasting his time

 

[SBYM]

LOOK.

I've had seven pints and it all seemed OK to me.

Oh so another 'neutral' who gives their two cents on the Maynard tribunal case!

 

[Eshay187]

It was a pretty weird move. Like, I can’t imagine he was genuinely trying to punch him in the head, but what was he swinging his fist at his head for?

I don’t really care either way if he gets time, maybe deserves 1-2 for being reckless?

maybe a week, but honestly - when anything is considered "low impact" i really don't know why we are suspending blokes for that - just fine them. I agree we need to clean up the game from head hits, but no one wins when players miss games for inflicting a "low impact" hit.

ITs the stuff like the Maynard hit you need to clean out. That was reckless & High Impact. Anything "High Impact" should be dealt with very harshly IMO. Thats when people get hurt - when the Impact is HIGH.

I agree, but punching someone in the head, who is then on the bench for 15 minutes while they go through concussion rigmarole isn’t nothing.

In fact, no can stop me, I’ll say it: if Blakey was on the field for those 15 minutes Swans would have won.

One of the worst takes I've ever read

Punch?

Just came to me.

Season’s over, why not play the English cricket team card

I reckon it will be graded careless/high but medium (not low), which means 1 week.

Possibly lucky to avoid an intentional grading though.

That would be fair, as he will miss a final. You just can't do what Martin did in modern day footy.

 

[BobbyMorri]

probably a week.

not sure were all the comments about him attempting a smother. he was clearly trying to do a handpass.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

My bias view is that he was just trying to spoil the handball, but it's not a good look.
Can easily see it being careless, high contact, low impact and a fine, or careless, high, medium and a week.
Can't see it being graded high impact or intentional.
Whatever it is, we cop it on the chin and move on to next week.

Ok well you can keep that one in your pocket for later on when you feel like crying again
