Lewis On Lycett

[Shupe]

I'm sure they can argue that it was an open hand.

 

[cats2rise]

Either nothing, or careless, low, high = 1500 fine. Cannot be anything else.

Stupid thing to do, something I hate, but no capacity for suspension, even with the media jumping on it already.

I thought that too with Hawkins... But I don't want to see him go. Sets a very stupid precedent.

 

[QS]

Nothing in it, soft hit

 

[whatis]

Open hand

 

[Smeg Head]

Intentional, High, Low Impact, Hawthorn. 1 week to Lycett.

 

[Westy Bogan]

After Cyril got off Lewis no chance to go

 

[MaxHunt]

What clip of the shoulder? He punches him on the chin. Low impact. Intentional. Head. One week.

If you can't see he clips the shoulder you are either blind or biased or both.

 

[Off The Couch]

10 weeks to appease Geelong posters

 

[Micksy]

Was more of a pushing motion.

Right-you are right, just saw the proper footage-cilps the shoulder enroute to the head. Dratted shoulder got in his way of landing a good one. He might be all right.

lol, because no Hawthorn posters ever comments on Geelong.

If he landed that flush it would have been a week.

In normal speed it actually looks worse than when in slow motion.

Early in the year it would likely get a week.

But it's Hawthorn a week before finals so a fine only. We all know that is how this will pan out.

It is a sad inditement on the Mark Evans controlled MRP that everyone knows that the Hawks can do what they like when on the field and the MRP will spin a a way for them to get off.

• Pushing Motion Not Striking
• Not a bumping Motion when bumping to the head
• Bracing for Contact not kneeing

To the "Games gone soft if he gets rubbed out" brigade - what's soft and cowardly is punching someone knowing they can't punch you back. The AFL should have a zero tolerance on punches that connect with the head, just as society should. You can play the game tough by going in hard at the ball, going backwards with the flight, tackling hard etc. All it takes is a little clip on the chin to potentially knock someone out.

I don't care about the force. If you intentionally punch someone in the face you shouldn't get off scot free.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Intent was poor, but execution even worse

Negligent contact in the end, so should be no penalty - may get a fine for the "bad look" and he's not a top bloke

 

[Cicatriz]

Can't compare it to the Hawkins one. Tom just got a bad decision. It happens every now and then. Lewis will be fine to play next week. Move on.

Could not agree any more strongly. This was worse than the Goldstein spoil i that it was completely unnecessary and has nothing to do with football.

That said, Lewis has consistently been hard done by the tribunal, he 'deserves' fair treatment for once.

 

[Ok Boomer]

1 down to zero.

Yeah, 'cause the tribunal are big bad meanies that only come after players that have done nothing wrong.

Now I have worked out the incident, no nothing there, but the chocolate wheel may get a spin

Using the below how do they get to that, given that all strikes have to be graded as "Intentional"?

He might get "careless high" due to the fact he punched him in the arm and it deflected

Bingo. A punch is a punch. Have to rub it out the game so you have to suspend the cowards that throw them

A punch is still a strike and should be classed as intentional
Page 9:

(For example, a strike will be regarded as Intentional where a Player delivers a blow to an opponent with the intention of striking him.

So it's intentional body or careless high
