I love how yesterday's game has your anti-Hawthorn juices pumping again Bob.Broken arm huh, that's a shame, a damn shame I say.
"That one results in a broken arm and when I last looked the arm is part of the body - the fact that it didn't hit him in the head that's actually irrelevant. It's the action going into the marking contest and he should get weeks. The vision from behind is pretty damning so I think he should get a couple of weeks." - Derek Humphery-Smith
Hawthorns season
Why am I not surprised that a Geelong player would (again) be the subject of a ground breaking reason to suspend a player.
Why is not hitting the head irrelevant?
How come the goal posts shift in this circumstance when they have never done so in the previous 5 years where the head has become sacrosanct to the nth degree?
I understand tripping can cause a broken leg as we saw with the Sydney player a number of years ago. That part of the game has been ruled out and rightfully so.
Doing what Duncan did gives no player the right to find a loop hole in the system and attack players arms in marking contests but the fact Duncan missed Hodge's head should be the main issue here and nothing more.

Hodge the "good bloke" will certainly testify that he broke it landing on the ground, won't he?
It does my head Cattery.
Hodge broke a Carlton players jaw a year or so ago. Put him out for six weeks. It is obvious he collected him head high but the prick got off did he not?
What on earth is going
Surely that's enough to save Duncan. Mind you not that he should need 'saving', but in the same week you have two incidents that if they hit high would be bans, yet both managed to avoid any high contact whatsoever, you simply cannot ban one and not the other. Got a feeling they'll find a way though, they always do.You're asking me to explain the MRP?
If Pav gets off because he missed the head (luckily) and Duncan gets weeks although he also missed the head the MRP will have hit a new low I'd suggest.
Sauce?Cleared
Hodge pretty much got straight up.Just what I thought. Ground breaking... if this get suspended the consequences could be far reaching.
Who was the hawk that decked i think it was Lang in third qtr. Umpire paid advantage so cameras didnt linger or replay it but it looked violent
