F--k me drunk.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

A week for that yet Mitchell’s is a fine. How?

 

[MoggsCreek]

farcical

 

[Strange Cat]

Thomas also got a one week ban for hitting Joel and has been referred straight to the tribunal

He’s going to get at least 4 weeks on the sideline.

Hope the club contest Joel’s charge

 

[you pick one]

Can we change the tag from MRP to MFC

 

[Daniel McL]

“Joel Selwood offered 1 week for punching the ground hard with both his fists”

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Anyone got footage?

 

[Strange Cat]

“Joel Selwood offered 1 week for punching the ground hard with both his fists”

Bizarre charge all things considering

Elbow to the back of the head = fine

Hitting the ground = 1 week

Sound legit

Is this the jumper punch that Sam McClure was going on about on Saturday night?

 

[Zuta]

Worst of all Hocking signs off on this garbage decision. What is this competition coming to!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Play the Swans. Suspension was nailed on.

What a joke. Must contest.

We will under this system.

 

[hoopla]

It’s got to be a joke? Is it April 1st? How does Mitchell get off and Selwood get a week?

 

[fpm84]

We don't risk an extra week, 100% we challenge this one.

 

[Skeppersap]

Mitchell a fine for behind the play elbow to hear, Selwood suspended for no contact. Defies belief!!

 

[Boxhead_31]

$1000 for the attempted trip for Joel on Wingard to cap his day off

$2000 for Danger on Westhoff as well

Ok with both of those....

 

[catters_28]

Yet Brownlow contender Mitchell conveniently gets off. Get ****ed MRP.

This is why people like Lindsay Thomas are an absolute malignant cancer on the game of AFL. Not only do they act in utter stupidity at their own peril, but they take others down with them as collateral damage in their thuggish idiocy. Analogous to drink drivers, really. The game will be permanently better when that flog leaves for good. What an absolute f****** tosser. I feel for Joel. Any brother would have done exactly the same after seeing Thomas potentially put their sibling in hospital. Flog of the highest order.

Retribution acts for heinous acts should be fines only, as should mutual roughhousing between aware opponents and general melees. Coward punches obviously lengthy suspensions, along with attacks off the ball and going past the ball that result in losing that player to injury. Anything that reeks of cowardice or thuggery should be dealt with harshly. Injuries through football acts should be fines.
Jumper punches I'm still on the fence about but I lean toward leniency as I enjoy release valve fighting ala hockey.

A week for that yet Mitchell’s is a fine. How?

Goldstein,I hardly felt it wouldn't have hurt a fly.
Diving,sniper grub Lindsay,I'm suffering double vision, ringing in the ears and my balls have shrunk to the size of peas,wait the have always been that size.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Looking at the table Joel has been assessed as Intentional, low impact and high contact.
Tom Mitchell to get a fine has to have been Intentional/careless, low impact and high/body contact. Given it was clearly to the head how has he deemed that to be "careless"?

 

[Spearman]

I guess score one for Clarkson. You could see from Goldstein reaction it smarted. A bit like Pitt in Fight Club, "Motherf***er! You hit me in the ear!"
That is exactly the crap that needs to gotten out. Taking a shot at a guy, unaware, off the ball, in the head.
