MRP / Trib. Newcombe hit on Howe

[go_the_dockers]

Nothing to worry about or 3 weeks like May.

 

[Oscarman]

0 weeks. Hawks are a HQ favourite.

After looking at it, it looks more like Howe ran into Newcombe at full pace and came off second best. Newcombe appeared to be slowing down to contest the ball as he saw Howe coming and Howe just didn't slow whatsoever.

AFL won’t want hawks losing duke for 3 weeks
He will get 0

 

[Brend81]

Newcombe should have anticipated the collision as any reasonable player would have therefore it has to be 3 weeks

 

[Bald]

Not sure there's much to worry about for Newcombe.

 

[quotemokc]

If anything this was Howe hitting Newcombe

 

[Rafeeki]

You only need 0.25 seconds to react according to the AFL and Newcombe should have known how the ball was going to bounce. No duty of care for Howe at all, has to be 3 weeks.

It's a weird one. Newcombe is 100% looking at Howe but he doesn't bump. If anything, he almost comes to a stop by the time they come together, but Howe is focused only on the ball and doesn't break stride.

They can only go based on outcome really.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

If the AFL/MRO/Tribunal has any sense of consistency whatsoever Newcombe gets 3, right RCAB?

I fully expect him to get off because the AFL is a circus run by clowns.

Every Hawthorn supporter is laughing at this comment.

For the record, I think most people thought May was ridiculously stiff.

Newcombe and Howe had a head clash, and it wasn't a 'bump' from Newcombe went wrong and caused the damage.
I genuinely do not understand how he could get weeks for that. He hit him with face. Who the hell would do that if they had the chance not to?

The only reason the situation unfolded the way it did is because Newcombe is actually made of concrete.

 

[MagpieJo]

6 and an extra 4 for smiling as the prick went down the run

 

[57 Milner]

Maybe a game for smiling afterwards!

 

[Sphynx]

Would be 10 weeks if it was Paul Curtis or Jackson Archer.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Without doubt 3 Weeks.

The easiest decision the AFL have had to make all year.

 

[voorhees]

nothing to see here.
if tom Stewart can be let off, this can be let off.

 

[campbell]

Nil. Nothing in it, good hard contested footy. Its not netball.

 

[jaygee]

Hahahahaha funny people who have never played a game in their life. ITS A TOUGH GAME.

 

[Hens Hall]

So many salty peeps wanting a Hawks player to get suspended. Laughable.

Went to tackle, arms down, no jumping, no shoulder charge/bump, slowed down etc. Did everything correctly and nothing wrong.

Just an unfortunate accident.

0 weeks

Hey, RCAB - Let's hear a about how Newcombe should have slowed down as he was approaching the ball?

I disagree with you - both Howe and Newcombe approached the contest exactly as they should have.

Just bad luck.

Old mate's head will explode. On the one hand, it's Newcombe who could be in trouble, on the other, it happened to a player from his favourite team.

Lots of Hawks supporters were telling us how May should have slowed down when approaching the contest a couple of weeks ago...

Love some absolute meat-heads trying to score points. Spot the differences between this contest and Steven May. Or rather, tell me exactly which part of Newcombe's shoulder makes contact with Howe's head.

 

[HeHateMe]

Followed the AFL instructions post May incident lowered the hands went to tackle.
