Peter Wright contact with Harry Cunningham: Pleads Guilty and Receives 4 Week Suspension

[yodellinhank]

He was going for the mark with eyes on the ball and turned into the contact when he realised a collision was imminent.

Should be cleared, will probably get weeks. If it was September he'd get off.

Essendon don't play in September.

High Impact v Severe impact will be the debating point and whether he gets 3 or 4

 

[Maddo11]

Only way it'll be less than 4 is if he pleads guilty, expresses remorse and the panel take pity on him

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

So he should somehow have just pulled out of the contest altogether at the last split second?

Did not bother to attempt a mark.

Can’t not be severe he’s out of the game

He’ll get 3-4, it’s on the par for these incidents

Better question is how that brainless umpire has a job this week? How wasn’t it a free? Forget the charge it was obvious but it’s a free

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Should be be 4. Made no attempt to mark or legit attempt to spoil. Why was he there? At least Maynard pretended to smother

Draper imo was damned lucky . Very late chop. Coincidentally another big tough Essendon trying to take out a small opponent. Mathew Lloyd the king of cheap shot cowards understandably approves the edge.

The free should have been to wright for blocking/ front on contact

nice thoughts, what do you think of the heeney punch to the face? It seems its ok if you are a sydney player, not ok for anyone else

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

No force.

Heeney is lucky no issue if they gave a week for it these shots are a blight on the game

 

[hirdylloydy1]

sort of like redmans? except redmans was an open hand push, not a closed fist

Being in the contest would have been the factor but jeez I hate that said it last week should not matter. All player that shove or jumper punch should get a week. It’s simple

If Scott continues to direct his players to take out opponents from behind, I expect this thread will have a regular stream of debates.

Been asking the same of SCG umps for years

Redmans gotta be wondering wtf

Hewett a fine
Heeney nothing
He gets a week.

They all should have got a week this is what drives fans mad. If they were all given a week fans would be like “well okay that’s consistent”.

You really think thats what scotts doing? really? This whole edge thing is a media beatup. They are definately being stronger in the contest, they had to be, they have been so poor in this for so long.

Yep, and the players will ideally stop.

Can't help but think the gambling influences these.
Gotta keep the bets coming in for a guy in such form

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I actually don’t think you’re off the mark here. Excuse the pun. The first place to crack down will be the player like Wright whom will be seen to have all the control. But once this sets in there’ll be a bigger emphasis on players running back with the ball to take the hero grab. Once that happens the game will have totally changed.

AFL has no choice.

Yep, agree, although I don't think the player in Wright's position ought to be seen as having all the control.
