Sandi offered a week

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Richmond culture.

Surprised he didn't have some chopsticks concealed in his socks

 

[wayToGo_]

c'mon guys, you know the rules. If the AFL covers it up under the rug then it never actually happened.

For some reason they really seem to like to get stuck into us.
I almost feel sorry for them because you can see they will never succeed with players like the chopstick ninja and Cotchin as a captain.

Such a shame Rance made the wrong choice.

What annoyed me the most, was that the commentators thought it was a joke, and wondered what Fyfe had done to make them so mad. Not think, oh let's just show this Brownlow medallist how tough we are!

Just remember that it is only the pre-season.

Flexing your muscles & beating your chest in the pre-season, in the long run amounts to bugger all.

Remind yourself that Fyfe & "Big Bad Dirty" Sandi have noted Grigg in their memory banks. I can assure you that during the regular season, Grigg won't get within a bulls roar of Fyfe ................ he will be a marked man.

Why fire all your darts in the pre-season.

Can't understand all the Richmond hate. It is the AFL bowing to all of the mums of the world that has sanitized the game and leads to players missing weeks for contact in a contact sport. Just a ridiculous suspension that will only be the first of many such decision we will see through out the year.

Agree with your points and certainly not Richmond's fault that Sandi got suspended.

But Grigg may well receive some attention after his "over the top" aggression on our most valuable player.

Its the idiot Richmond supporters on the main board posting Sandi deserved the two weeks because he was deliberate in his actions and tried to hurt the player that got up our collective noses.

I like to belt blokes when he's held by a six-pack of others.

Who is right and who is wrong?

If you think Sandi deliberately set out to hurt Griffith you don't know a hell of a lot about Sandi and the way he goes about it.

I dont know anyone or anything! But i will tell you this, i seen Sandi "deliberately" step into Griffiths path and bump him in the head! How you like those eggs???

Im not saying he deserves to be put in jail, but **** me it was a good old fashioned shirtfront.

Admitting to not knowing anything. Honesty on this board ,very refreshing.

Blind faith won't cut it on here .You're either a know it all or an I know nothing or a little of both.

Do the forensics on this vision.

1. Fyfe was lucky he didn't get nailed by the MRP for potentially breaking Grigg's roundarm with his head.
2. Grigg's teammates should be lauded for pinning the tyrant that is Nat Fyfe down so Grigg could unleash his fury.
3. And someone needs to urgently talk to Tucker to tone it down as was also fortunate to escape the wrath of the MRP.

By the way, you're quite brilliant (and brave) Shaun.

I'm still pretty impressed that there were 3 Tigers trying to bring him to ground before this peanut came in. Fyfe's like 'boy, it's a bit windy out here. Did I leave the iron on?' TIMBER..

What, 3 options? Well i dont know!!!

4 options,remember you know nothing

It was deliberate - kind of. Sandi was deliberately trying to win the ruck. Perhaps the lesson here is; next time a 101 kg 200 cm bloke runs toward you while your standing still - a) let him crash into you and hope you don't rupture your spleen b) dodge out of the way at the last minute and hope he flies into the ump c) call barleys.

 

[aussieviking]

The AFL has become a little bit of a joke. I felt that Sandi just braced for contact from the Richmond player that was really competing for the throw in. It is pathetic that you can get 2 weeks for such an accidental action.

The nature of our great game has changed so much it is becoming embarrassing

The Cotchin is better than Mundy thread is a winner.

We'll know the answer to this as soon as Mundy wins his first coin toss

Still think its ****ing ridiculous that you can be rubbed out in a NAB cup game and have to have it apply for the season proper instead of next week's pre season game.

regardless of the legitimacy of this particular suspension, it's important that there are real consequences for reportable offences. Missing a preseason game for something that would deserve a suspension during the regular season doesn't properly punish the action. Using hyperbole for arguments sake, preseason game 1 could divulge into a teams intentionally injuring the opponents and then sitting out suspension in the remainder of the NAB challenge.

 

[Frank J Moose]

Players (Sam Mitchell aside) don't actually go out to injure opponents any more. A more sensible solution would to have those acts graded as intentional carry over to the regular season. All others (careless and reckless) should be fines with a loss of good record penalty enough.
