Kosi

[Coach Bombay]

Some Hawthorn fans will say he will get a week but that is only because it makes them feel better inside. Kosi will be fine to play this weekend.

 

[hawks2rule]

I am a Hawk supporter and I reckon it would be a disgrace if Kosi gets rubbed out.All he did was a good hard tackle if the AFL don't throw the charge out it will be a dark day for our great game.

 

[didaka]

I reckon he'll be right.

Wakes will help him out if needed.

 

[stfan]

From an outside perspective i think Kosi might be gone for a game (55 carry over points)....

.

How on earth is a Hawks Supporter who is obviously praying for Kosi to be out an "outside perspective" ?????

 

[Cindy2003]

Look for one I hope he gets off.

But you have to look at the bigger picture. Its become a trend in the game that only legit way to hurt a player is in the tackle. With the Milburn one they have set a precident that player have a duty of care. Kosy knew the ball was gone so relying on Tim Lane view is a bit hopeful.

Hope he gets off anyway as we have a number with carry over points and would be spewing if they copped a week and miss a GF

 

[batfink]

Very confident it will get thrown out.

 

[Pie eyed]

I can't see how it was worth any more than a fifty at best.

Stupid reports like "Rough Conduct" have no place in finals footy and Umpires should realise it...it's not a kids game.

Hayden Kennedy lost the plot on the weekend. Over officious and unnecessarily wanted to assert his authority. Continually barked at the players.

After Baker's suspension nothing would surprise, but they surely have to be kidding with that one. Everyone has been getting stuck into Kosi for his lack of awareness and vision, but all of a sudden (when he lays a tackle) he is supposed to have complete L2M4G consciousness

I thought Kosi struggled again, with 7 of his 17 possessions coming in the last quarter. 7 clangers.

Thankfully King played a high standard game in the ruck. In Kosi's last 8 games he has averaged 5 hit outs.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

I'd be amazed if he gets suspended for that.

Strange rule though, isn't it? Its perfectly OK to sling a player into the ground with the intention of hurting him provided he doesn't let go of the ball! And if you do it properly you get rewarded with a free kick.

He won't get suspended for that tackle. It was just a tackle and nothing more of it.

It wasn't Hayden Kennedy who reported him. It was Scott McLaren.

Thanks for the pump up my brother.

I believe this incident is surely similar to the Riewoldt incident against Richmond earlier in the year. Rooey came straight off, missed the next week, no report. Surely Kosi will be fine.

 

[Hawkers]

Just reported on the Hawks board that Kosi has been cleared

 

[batfink]

Reported on SEN it was dismissed. No surprise.

 

[_Interpol_]

Phew

Good decision by the MRP

 

[Fehring]

From the Age website, just to make it official...

St Kilda big man Justin Koschitzke is free to play Hawthorn in the preliminary finals after the AFL's match review panel threw out his report for engaging in rough conduct against Collingwood's Shane Wakelin.
Koschitzke was reported during the match for slinging Wakelin to the ground during a tackle.
But the panel found Koschitzke's action was not considered unreasonable in the circumstances in that his tackle was all in the one motion.
The panel also found that Koschitzke would not have been aware the ball was out of bounds, nor that Wakelin had disposed of the ball during the tackle.

 

[SaintsManMat]

The MRP makes a decent decision for a change

Great news for us, as Kosi and Roo will cause all sorts of problems for the short hawthorn backline

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Thank god...

Hopefully will have a good game on Saturday, we'll go a long way to winning if he does.

 

[goodie23]

Wow, the MRP had a chance to screw us and didn't

 

[CHBench]

MRP are usually very good during finals. And i'm not saying that because he got off. Way too touchy during the home&away season, need to tone it down a notch.
