Another note, what are peoples thoughts on players pressing charges for on-field incidents? I don’t like it, you’ve got 21 men to get even, failing that, a chance meeting in the parking lot generally resolves things. We move on and tap glasses.
We don't see brawls like the lavy wodonga grand final anymore, which is good for the game and no off the play behind play hits eitherHe’ll be worn like a glove and have no impact, Albury showed he can be nullified quite easily with a little bit of attention.

Yep, need to get Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown to slip back to 1976 and pull this bloke into the 21st centuryArchaic and pathetic thought process.

I’ve always been a big believer that assault is assault, and that fact that you are participating in a game of organised sport doesn’t change that. You are still accountable to societal norms. Obviously there is ambiguity when it comes to football type acts, but if you clock a bloke in the jaw behind the play and knock him out, then you are fair game for the justice system. Imagine if this sort of thing took place down the middle of Dean Street or at The Bended ElbowHe’ll be worn like a glove and have no impact, Albury showed he can be nullified quite easily with a little bit of attention.

Innocent until proven guilty champ, bit like muzza.I’ve seen some unsavoury On-field tactics in my time, pinching, spitting water in opponents face, sledging that’s crossed the line, how is this policed and what’s a reasonable response? I had an opponent squeeze my testicle so hard off the ball it nearly ruptured, couldn’t make love for 4 weeks. The next contest I buried him, needed an excavator to back fill the pothole left on the pitch, we looked each other in the eye and shook hands after the match.
I’m not condoning unprovoked king hits, or any off the ball thuggery, but it’ll get to the point where all community sport needs filming as possible evidence. The young bloke from NA didn’t appear to have any club sanctions as he’s playing this week, so what does that tell us? Bad look for the club? Every coin has a backside.
You are a moron ! I suppose you would agree with rating the net ballers as “wifey” etc . Some of you blokes likewise .I’ve seen some unsavoury On-field tactics in my time, pinching, spitting water in opponents face, sledging that’s crossed the line, how is this policed and what’s a reasonable response?

Not condoning any supposed action but was the Player on the receiving end an Officer of the Law?He’ll be worn like a glove and have no impact, Albury showed he can be nullified quite easily with a little bit of attention.

Utter bulldust. Shouldn’t matter who you hit. If you break someone’s jaw, or heaven forbid accidently kill someone with a hit off the ball that affects that individual’s and their family’s life off the field too. We have thankfully moved on from the thuggery of the 70’s and 80’s, and you are accountable for your actions.Just hit the wrong bloke by the sounds of it.
I’m not a huge fan of it being a police investigation but unfortunately this is what the world has come too. I understand what our mate Laz is saying,, what happens on the field stays on the field isn’t the case anymore.
It’s kind of concerning if football incidents end up being a police matter if an incident is taken the wrong way (not saying this was)
The games moved on for the better, I haven't seen the incident, did anyone see it? You only have to think back to what yeates did to dermie, that was pretty common practice until the early 2000s, we don't want king hits either, I haven't seen anything like that at the footy for a long timeUtter bulldust.

Reminds me of a few years back when Josh Walker broke John Conroy’s jaw behind play at Martin Park. The league banned Walker for however games Conroy was going to miss with the jaw, plus extra. Not only that I believe Walker was bank manager at the Commonwealth in Wangaratta and the Conroy family went in and threatened to withdraw their money and investments in the week following unless Walker was moved on (filthy rich farmers so I think it was a no brainer for the CBA execs)
I was at the game. Dunno about buzzing. Crowd a wasnt big at all, unless that’s norths standards.How good is an up and about north Albury, expect it to be buzzing infront of the can bar and canteen at bunton park tomorrow afternoon. Hoppers by 15pts broomhead best on.
