Maxwell gone.

[Beauski]

Eagles will be hoping he gets off so he can gift them 2-3 goals just like tonight

Dud.

 

[Cuzz09]

He'll get off. Its the pies.

 

[The2ndComing]

He is no captain. He beats his chest and sprouts cliched nothing. None of it comes out on the field.

How many free kicks and 50m penalties did he give away tonight?

Should go for that hit. Was high, off the ball and intentional.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Maxwell, Gibson and Roughead are all in trouble.

 

[Arc1]

I think the system was different then. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Maxwell's problem was that Puopolo is so short. On a side note, has Maxwell ever attacked an opponent first who was either a) over 6ft tall or if they are, were they b) older than 18 or 19?

Tonight. He went after Franklin pretty hard once it was clear Tarrant had hold of both arms.

And then decked a midget.

Tidy night's work really.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Just saw the Roughie replay, no way he gets anything

Thats what we thought about SJ last week

 

[DrParrot]

What should happen -
Maxwell maybe a week (off the ball, head high, drew blood)
Roughead - 0 weeks

Looking at previous decisions.... who knows.... both back for GF as always... so maxwell 2 and roughy 1?

I hope he misses. Despite his limited ability, he's not a terrible captain and the Pies are far more likely to recapture good form with him in the side. He missed when we played them two weeks ago and it's the first time in a long time we've been able to dismantle their half-back line. Whether that's because he was out or not - I'm not sure, but it'll give us confidence to act out the same strategies that worked so well in R22.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If I were WC I would rather him play, he is a turnover merchant despite his so called toughness. Don't get me wrong he isn't awful, but as a captain, jeez he has poor skills.

 

[Hodge is God]

I recon roughie will get 1 like Steve J and Maxwell will get two. This will mean both will be available for the GF if they make it. Although it's all chook lotto with the MRP.

Stevie J got weeks because of his bad record.
Roughie doesn't have a bad record.

 

[Adz]

Who was the Hawks player that tripped Krack? Looking at a week I believe.

 

[HoopsAhoy]

Maxwell, Gibson and Roughead are all in trouble.

And Buckley will get a please explain letter and probable fine for his spray at the umpires.

 

[NarniMagic]

Terrible player, downhill skier if I ever saw one.

Sorry! Downhill waterslider*

 

[Purple Suit]

Who was the Hawks player that tripped Krack? Looking at a week I believe.

Gibson, He didn't really trip him, just tried to tackle with his leg. Recon he"ll be safe and there was no malice in it.

 

[HoopsAhoy]

Hey it's the MRP after all - Gibson should consider himself lucky if he doesn't get the "hung drawn and quartered" outcome of his lead actor namesake in "Braveheart".

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Gibson, He didn't really trip him, just tried to tackle with his leg.

isn't that the defense Dustin Fletcher uses which always seems to fail when brought up at the tribunal

 

[Johanpetro]

Just saw the roughhead incident.. All Geelong supporters saying he will go is just wishful thinking.... And as a geelong supporter myself, He will not go for that.. Very soft.

 

[mysainters]

His face even showed he knew it.

 

[bumsonseats]

Roughead is gone. Pretty much exact same situation as Johnsons, except more of a hit than a bump which makes it worse. Unless of course the AFL wants to make an even greater mockery of the MRP and show everyone how corrupt it is.

Just because Stevie J got r*ped by the MRP (an absolutely disgraceful verdict), shouldnt mean that Rough will automatically go. They tend to put the book away for finals.
Having said that, the StevieJ outcome means that everytime a player bumps into an opponent off the ball then there will be scrutiny. This sort of stuff has been happening for a hundred years, and now the AFL want to outlaw contact as well. What is this world coming to. Maybe time to watch a man's sport and start watching the NRL.

 

[bumsonseats]

Who was the Hawks player that tripped Krack? Looking at a week I believe.

The replay showed he left his leg in the air and a foot got him across the midrift.........hardly a trip.
Apparently the ump said: Clumsy attempt to tackle but nothing in it".......well, according to the 7 commentary team anyway. From the vision, he will be fine.

 

[larson]

Looked like Puopolo was ducking down into Maxwell. (I could be bias as Puopolo is my most hated player in the league, that little f**kwit deserves every hit in the head he gets)

 

[Underdog]

Maxwell will and should go. An illegal block off the ball which results in high contact and the player leaving the field. No brainer.

Just stupid.

Tonight was one of the worst captain's games I've seen one play. Ineffectual and ill-disciplined on multiple occasions.

 

[RedLegs#5]

I don't think he intended to hit the guy in the head. He knew he f*cked up. Will maybe get a week.

P.S. If you're gonna throw elbows at least go for one of the bigger bodied opposition players and make a statement.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Aren't you a classy fella.

Sorry what? Whilst I agree that he shouldn't go, trying to tackle with your legs is the poorest defence known to man.
