Mitchell elbows Hannebery in the throat. How many weeks?

[ashep]

Hahaha just kidding. Can't wait to see good bloke Sam out there next week.

Post-match interview with Hannebery and channel 7 commentators don't bring it up.

Pathetic.

Because it wasn't there....

I'm more interested by Heeney kicking Stratton in the ribs, after shoving his head into the ground, 100m off the ball

It wasn't an elbow as the OP stated, but do you think DH got his back up for no reason? Looked like it on the replay at the time too. Regardless, ch 7 could have asked him about it and DH could have said that there was nothing there.

Re: Heeney/Stratton... start a thread.

Corking throats

I'll wait until I see Bontempelli's official thread before commenting.

Foxtel did.

Foxtel did.

And?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Was it an elbow or a shove? From the vision I saw it looked to be a shove to the upper chest / throat area like he was trying to get separation at the ball up

 

[Donakebab]

And?

He did the standard try and avoid throwing the player under the bus, but when it was brought up he tried to laugh it off. Said it was an accident but it left his voice was hoarse for a bit and he couldn't bark instructions for a while. Then went straight on to crediting Tom Mitchell for the tagging job, saying it was his best game both ways and his most vocal game as a leader.

But the OP should cop a week for a crap thread.

So much like Taylir Duryea's elbow... careless.

 

[Arbuckle]

Very little in it.

Hannebery, on the other hand, should get a fine for his constant staging and whining (about every damn thing that doesn't go right for him) to the umpires. He's been doing both for years now, and it's embarrassing to watch.

Still yet to see any evidence of this elbow. Saw two blokes in a push and shove, trying to hold up/disengage at a contest and Hanners copped a stray open hander in the neck was all I could make from it.

Have no doubt there was high contact. Certainly not an elbow and just because DH got upset about it, doesn't mean he was deliberately struck. Just looked an accident while they were in a bit of push and shove.

Duryea was lucky he didn't cop a week. Was worse than this incident.

I agree with Duryea getting a week, and I agree that Mitchell's hit on Hannebery was not as bad. I think Duryea should have been graded intentional and Mitchell careless. In times past Duryea's effort might've been reckless, Mitchell still at careless. Fine for SM at most, but on notice. Seems to have a lot of "careless" acts that leave an opposition player hurt. If you're going to push off a player with force you have to make sure you do it right.

The MRP will decide whether the throat in "high" contact. Previously they have said it isnt, but they can decide the rules on a weekly basis.

If anything, it gets a fine. Or they will say the impact was below the force required for a charge.

Has the media been saying much? If not, then it probably wont get anything.

I think Ralph tried to stitch him up on Fox Footy Friday night but aside from that I didn't catch much AFL coverage over the weekend.

I thought there had been a couple this year that had neck as high? Could be wrong though its in the area they seem to make it up as they go. Totally depends on who the player is and the media fuss.

This one I'd guess will be below the force

So it depends on how much traction Ralph got this morning. Havent bothered listening to SEN yet.

Probably a fine though. But the MRP may be too busy deciding whether to hand out Melee fines from the Port game. Clearly its a Melee, but do they let it slide, do they only go after a couple of the worst offenders from each team, or does the AFL increase its revenue by $30k...

Yeah I feel the same way as a neutral watching carlton play for a decade and a half.

Heard a talk backer call in to SEN this morning about thug Mitchell but the Morning Crew didn't seem to give it any traction.

Didn't see the PA game. Not sure what happened there.

I'm assuming it was the fallout of the hit by Jonas (if you havent seen that it was one of the dirtiest hits in years - straight elbow strike to the back of Gaff's head). Basically involved all of both teams (barring Gaff who was unconscious) in the usual push and shove that follows a dirty hit. So if they are going to be handing out fines it would to be almost every player who played.
