HAWKS DONT LET US DOWN

Appeal unsuccesful.

Non-contact sport.

Cute. Kind of like a MAGA supporter saying democracy is dead because he couldn’t get an election overturned.

Shine on, you crazy diamond!
 
Tackle a player who doesn't have possession of the ball?

Could have put the ball out, could have waited and made a fair tackle, could have also at least put his arms up to contest it!

He could've done a cartwheel followed by a back flip as well.

There were alternatives. You can’t be knocking blokes into next week and expect no sanctions. 2 weeks is correct.

That there were alternatives doesn't make his action any more illegal.

I felt he had his eyes for the ball and didn't elect to bump. The ball was on track to land on his chest. If Cripps were Caleb Daniel and Ah Chee were Braydan Preuss I don't think we'd be here.

Don't think we'll ever agree. And I expected this decision.

That’s called duty of care, it’s part and parcel of todays game. Players can’t be concussing others, otherwise it only takes one player to take the game to court.

The large number of Collingwood and Melbourne supporters in this thread makes me feel like quite a undergarments will be soiled when Cripps gets off in a few hours.

How are your garments holding up?
 
Don't know what the other Carlton supporters here are on about. He was never getting off. Cripps was careless and shouldn't have done it. Was never a chance once Ah Che was concussed. Take the L and move on.
That’s the point.
It is now “careless” in a contact sport every time your opponent is injured.

If this Trent Cotchin incident happened today based on the fact Shiel was concussed then one would presume he would have been suspended & have missed the grand final.
Would the result of the 2017 gf been different?
Who knows.
At least we now know there is a punishment awaiting ALL players of all teams if someone is concussed no matter whether it is accidental or on purpose. Got it!

Cotchin should of missed, every non-richmond supporter would agree.
It was the wrong decision.

I cant see the dogs winning 2 in a row they have been too inconsistant and saints aint beating brisbane or sydney when they need to beat both

Hope you're right mate. But I think the Dogs are better than you give them credit for and the Saints have just had a tough run but can surprise on their day. Both are at or around our level.
 
Should have been given an extra week for wasting everyone's time.
Cripps was very lucky he only got two to start with, trying to appeal it was a joke.

Carlton were desperate i suppose, from being a massive top two chance to a complete laughing stock in four months is very damning on the whole orginisation.
Mummy I sat on the cool kids table today
