Pinchy Stompy Stratton should be sanctioned, preferably with fire

[Mr Blicavs]

Yep. At least we know who the hawks captain is these days..

I bet you cant name their Vice Captain though... or should I say "interim" Captain while **** has a week off

 

[Laphroaig]

It's all so Hawthorn, and sadly not surprising at all.

Personally I found another incident equally rancid. Late in the game the gutless sniper Sissy had a mark taken over him from behind, and as the player came down grabbed the ankle (at waist level) and tried to tip him over in the air.

Apart from being breathtakingly irresponsible in the risk of serious injury, the single minded intensity of focus on filth required to move from contest to snipe so quickly is remarkable.

Nup.. got nothing.

Hawthorn now one of the most irrelevant clubs around.

 

[Dinsdale]

Crucifixion. Should have just punched the campaigner in the face and copped the fine/suspension.

 

[ChappyUK]

Everyone knows this has been condoned by Clarko yet he gets the CEO to throw Stratton under the bus.

Club is in freefall.

Dingley is a player's career away. Waverley has the worst facilities in the league. They have arguably the worst list with zero depth. Plus they have no player or trade currency.

I almost feel bad for them.

I'd be calling Stratton the pinche cabrón from now on.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Hawform have to trade a first round pick to Carlton for Murphy, so they can recruit someone mildly capable of being a captain in their team.

Stratton could be good for a club looking for a pinch hitter.

But but but but but but....he's a good bloke.....

If done “correctly” neither

 

[ChappyUK]

Quietly counsel - 'Straats we've got away with it for a while now and I know it was my idea but we have to stop now' 'Also, so I can't be seen to be condoning this I have to get Justin to call you out. You ok with that?'

 

[ChappyUK]

No doubt Stratton has put himself in this situation and I'm not defending his behavior in the slightest. Twas an unacceptable look for a club captain.


HOWEVER

When he gets rubbed out for pinching, just like Roughy was rubbed out for tripping, Rioli was rubbed out for "attempted striking", Lake was rubbed out for "attempted choking", and plenty of Hawks have had their penalties upped for "potential for Hawthorn player to cause injury", it makes me sick that Hawthorn players get persecuted by the media-followed-by-the-tribunal in ways others don't. Years from now we'll still be musing why Stratton is the only guy ever rubbed out for pinching, to which the obvious answer will be "because he plays for Hawthorn and too many jealous pricks in the media hate us".

Im glad nobody saw the antics I used to get up to on the footy field... Id be lynched

He was just trying to help Fantasia find a vein.

My guess is Wingard basing it off recent selections.


Please, please, please let it be Wingard.

That's what happens when you sell the farm for a couple of VFL grade flags during the expansion era.

As much as it worked, nobody rates the flags or the Hawks current list. Another eight years at the bottom and they will load up again for some more cheap flags when Tassie and Shanghai join the comp.

Of course, they don't have to worry about any fans. Business leaders around the world would kill for a workforce as willingly flexible as Hawthorn fans to quit when times are tough.

It's funny, being a plodders in the country league, this s**t never happened. It was all elbows to the back of the head, swinging arms and knees in the head in stoppages.

If someone had pinched someone else they probably would have been laughed off the field by their own players.

Is this shitty, baby stuff what Melbourne/Vic players do because they are too scared to get suspended? I mean is this a thing in some leagues, anywhere?

Might be one of their young guns. Ryan Burton or... er... the other one.

Stratton is from WA.

Remember when this sook tried that dirty s**t to big Tommy and copped a knuckle sandwich for his troubles. What a goose.

Misreply - I meant to respond to harry000, who I thought was saying this was par for the course down there. Its a genuine question, does anybody know if this is a thing in any lower leagues?

I played my footy in Tassie. Is alot of niggle that goes on but in the lower leagues your team mates can stick up for you if something like that is going on. In the AFL you have to be in contention for the Brownlow to get away with belting a bloke.

Yeah, I agree about the niggle - ever see pinching though? You might as well give them a chinese burn or a wet willy, I reckon.
