Mark Blicavs sanctioned for staging - one of the worst i've seen

AFL Match Review wrap from Round 19: Mark Blicavs fined for staging, Grant Birchall escapes after Luke Hodge incident

And the Oscar goes to... big Cat whacked for staging

Pretty funny when watching it...but also piss weak.

We've seen some players exaggerate contact before, but i reckon this is one of the worst, most of the time the player actually at least gets hit in a live contest and maybe makes a bit more of it.

But Blicavs' face doesn't even get touched and he spins around and falls to the ground like he's been hit by a Barry Hall right hook. This is the kind of s**t you see in soccer not AFL.

Poor look from him. Deserved to be sanctioned, plenty of others get off way too lightly.

Very Clayton Oliver effort there.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Hilarious...

More intrigued how Birchall didn’t get a fine at least. What happened to kids are watching etc etc.

Because human beings capable of reading context are in charge of these decisions, not robots.

 

[The King!]

his captain should be cited one day

Next season this should be a suspension. We talk about stamping out rough tackles, head high bumps, protecting the man, but this s**t is allowed to stand?

Does a 10 year old watching understand context?

Rofl.

Yeah ok because high contact, whether created by him or not, is suddenly not high contact any more

 

[PhatBoy]

I’m glad he got done. No place for it and it is embarrassing to say the least. He’s got a lot of great attributes Blicavs. He doesnt need that sort of s**t in his game and should go to every length possible this week to make up for it

 

[Warhorse]

Shitful effort by blicavs and a real stain on his career. He would be very embarrassed by that footage

Kidding, right?

Mark Blicavs gets fined for acting but Matt Guelfi doesn't, even though Jarrod Harbrow was cleared of his match day report when Michael Christian said he didn't make any contact with the bombers player. So why was Guelfi laying on the ground for 15 seconds if no contact was made.

 

[The Gong]

Up there with Rivaldo taking a dive during that corner kick.

Glad he got fined because we don't want that nonsense in the game.

Guelfi hid it better but he milked it all the same. Probably deserved a fine but wasn't as blatant as Blicavs.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

I thought it was funny, no doubt the boys would be giving him s**t for it haha.

 

[Pivotonians]

The incident did look strange, he actually copped a punch to the side of the side of the head in the marking contest, this could have been a delayed reaction.

 

[gingernuts]

Did you see that he really got slapped? yep savagley

If it's about setting a proper example to the kids, then Luke Hodge should have the book thrown at him.

I mean, having a laugh and giggle is simply not an appropriate or socially acceptable response to getting pinched in the nuts.

Waiting for an onset of delayed concussion

 

[Underarm]

He was feigning for time right? It was just before half time. Not a great look but it's not generally part of his repertoire.

Toot, toot!

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Reminded me of the goal umpire in the 60s, going over, getting up, signalling the score like a trooper, then going down again.

At least he received some contact.

Someone post it up please so I can have a giggle.

Blicavs looked like a *******.
