Lenny Hayes Hit

[MaddAdam]

Hayes had no chance of pulling out of that ....

Never contesting the ball. Which JZ was according to the MRP. No free kick paid againats JZ.

Hayes - gone.

 

[Cuzz09]

If Hayes goes for that the AFL is a joke (moreso)

The bloke is an absolute legend and ball player.

did not see 1 Geelong player trying to have a go at him which shows how much respect the guy has in the playing ranks.

Now, knowing the MRP and tribunal he will get 2 weeks with an early plea down to 1 week - joke

 

[Haso]

I'm not saying that he deserves to go, only that he has to given the JZ precedent.

I didn't think that precedent was a factor at the tribunal.

 

[no orange peeler]

I agree. But if Ziebell goes for contesting the ball, Hayes goes for this.

difference will be feet on the ground. Ziebell should never have went. Hayes won't either

 

[Cuzz09]

Ablett, Hird, Buckley, Voss, Ricciuto, Cousins, Judd I'd call modern day greats.

Black, Hayes, Hodge, etc just below.

IMO over-rated massively.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Silly if he goes for what is a legitimate bump but same was said of the Ziebell case.

MRP has no understandng of the concept of setting their own precedent so he could get zip weeks, 2 or 6. Who knows?

The gloruious uncertainty of the MRP makes out game great.............

 

[Brad Goodman]

Wasn't even 50, Hayes would've got to that contest easily pre-knee and probably just overestimated his pace on ths occasion. Ziebell isn't a precedent for this one because Hayes wasn't airborne.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

People really seem to forget what a sniper is.
Brodie Holland and Dean Solomon are in a different league to Hayes and Ziebell.

Brodie Holland? Surely you jest?

 

[MaddAdam]

difference will be feet on the ground. Ziebell should never have went. Hayes won't either

So, Ziebell goes for contesting the ball but jumping.

But Hayes weas never in it and cleans the bloke up but his feet are on the ground, so all OK?

What, are we playing reverse off ground tiggy here?

 

[Some Idiot]

Nothing wrong with tonights incident, but Lenny definately has laid some cheap shots out in his career.
I dont think Ive ever seen Daniel Cross lay a cheap shot, and he is at least as hard and courageous as lenny.

You dont get special exemption because injury has slowed you down and you no longer know how fast you can run. Thats the most ridiculous thing I have heard for a long time.

 

[tonk]

Nothing in it.

 

[Some Idiot]

Brodie Holland? Surely you jest?

2006 Elimination final.... Came back to bite him though.

 

[jimmy35]

Was a split second from marking the ball, arms outstretched and then turned at the last moment to protect himself. Nothing in it at all. Probably had to get a 50 but even that's arguable IMO.
Should have nothing to worry about with the MRP.

 

[The Swert]

Brodie Holland? Surely you jest?

Blocked out his dog act on Montgomery? One of the great snipes. Please refer to this before labelling people a sniper.

 

[Silent Alarm]

No.

Either way he wasn't late enough for it to be 50 let alone reportable.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Either way he wasn't late enough for it to be 50 let alone reportable.

Disagree on both counts. He was never going to get to the contest. He lined him up.

 

[Spanish_Fly]

I agree. But if Ziebell goes for contesting the ball, Hayes goes for this.

Ziebell left the ground when there was no need and as a result his leading forearm collected Joseph in the face. Hayes stayed on his feet and the head high contact was an incidental clash of heads. If you can't see the difference you need to take your blue and white goggles off and have another look.

Blocked out his dog act on Montgomery? One of the great snipes. Please refer to this before labelling people a sniper.

One of the biggest snipes i've ever seen. It was great to see Montgomery come back on later and kick 4 or 5 goals too.

 

[Some Idiot]

Disagree on both counts. He was never going to get to the contest. He lined him up.

He overcommitted early. Lining up is what Holland did in the above video, neither player was truly in the contest, he just decided to take someone out.

 

[Donakebab]

Somebody tell me again that Lenny doesn't have a streak.

Serious shit bump. Stick to stats.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Pretty sure I didnt call anybody a sniper. There have been a lot dirtier players than Holland in the past. He wouldnt be in the top 50.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Disagree on both counts. He was never going to get to the contest. He lined him up.

If you say so.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

I thought it was fine, both players going for the footy hard.

I do wonder though what would be said by the commentators if it was Guerra instead of Hayes.
