On ya Scarlett.

You deserve a break, we can handle the hawks and midget forward line Doggies without you.

Enjoy yourself and come back fresh round 5. :thumbsu:

I was sitting in the stand behind the goals at that end and had a clear view of the incident. Play had stopped, and he delivered a jab to Harding's head.

I thought he'd get off because the umpire only paid a free, and thought that the umpire may support Scarlett's case.

These type of incidents deserve suspension. I'm not whining about the result or commenting on other "incidents" in the match either. Geelong ARE a much more talented team than us, and that is a fact that I can accept.

Just accept that what Scarlett did was totally unnneccessary, and lucky that that it didn't affect the result of the match - imagine if it was a close match.

He'll learn from it, and come final's time, I doubt he'll do the same. And I agree that it shouldn't affect whether he think he's a good footballer or not. Many players have lost their cool before.

Should Geelong call Vozzo as a witness since he saw the incident, paid a high free kick but did not see fit to report it?

No, we should get the name and address of that Goal umpire and pay that squealer a visit. :thumbsu:

Some of the crying & sooking from North supporters is downright embarrassing.
A lot of bitterness over their pantsing by the Cats me thinks.

"Scarlett's actions as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point), behind play (one point) and high contact (two points) - equating to 325 points and a three-match ban."

That is embarassing. AFL pretty much saying 'Scarlett is a low dog'.

We played poorly and I have no dislike for Geelong, they played fantastic football and deserved the win.

Cats fans have just gone into moronic one-eyed idiocy over this issue. When our players do something stupid I say well, he deserves what he gets for being an idiot and that should make him learn his lesson. Behaving poorly on the field is bad for the club and that has to get through player's thick heads.

Our last player to do something stupid was Sinclair when he KOed Picioane and the general feel from our supporters was that he deserves to get whatever punshiment was dished out because he bahaved like a knob.

Seems your supporters have no standards for your players. That is more disappointing than Scalett's gutless act is the spineless supporters who tollerate that kind of garbage.
 
Well said Tas! Umpires rarely if ever speak out, this one sounds entirely credible and Scarlett should pay the price of his stupidity / indiscretion. Now wait for the paranoid Cat fan to accuse me of stalking them. ;)

what scarlett did was stupid, unnecessary, deserves the two weeks.

I don't like seeing anyone suspended but it just seemed like a very stupid thing to do at the time, not sure if there was niggle before the ball went forwards but there was nothing in the play.

Scarlett has to learn his lesson now before it comes to the finals or just before the finals and his lack of self-control really hurts the cats at a critical point in time.

If I was him I'd take the two weeks, you have the hawks and bulldogs in the next two weeks and neither really have any tall key position forwards that he would be desperately needed against.

Like I said, a ton of sooking and crying.
Care to point out the part where the AFL called Scarlett a 'Low Dog' - I must have misread it.

If you want to stick up for flag man, I'm surprised, but good for you.

But then why does what Hille did or Meadhust did deserve 1 week. Or how come Hargaves can clearly smash someone and get 2 weeks. What we have all asked for is consistency and once again when given the opportunity, they've stuffed it.

I would hope that we challenge the Scarlett report coz it was probably the softest of all the reports made this round and certainly the most inconclusive. How an attempted jumper punch with no jumper being held at the time of contact gets ignored is beyond me. Hargraves was a 2 - 3 gamer and Hille must know a few blokes at AFL house if he gets 1 match for smashing a second gamer in the head like that.

Oh yeah, go and ask Byron Pickett what he thinks of Meadhurst being offered one week for attempted murder. If that was Pickett then you could write off the next 6 games at least.

Well at least you can say that Schwabby has finally done some good for the Hawks. Two years too late.

That was an attempted jumper punch? He went for his head and quite frankly, 2 weeks is about right.

But you did. Well you didn't dignify it, but you did respond.

I love that. It's like when someone says 'this next guest needs no introduction'... so what the hell are you doing, bozo?

No. I think you missed the point. It was an attempted jumper punch but he forgot to grab the jumper resulting in a PUNCH IN THE HEAD. As this is judged fair and legal, it was thrown out with no case to answer.

Trust me, if this was last year and Scarlo played for the Pies, you would have Eddy showing examples for the first half hour on Thursday night.

i wasn't talking about hille or meadhurst, i was talking about scarlett, regardless of what those two players should've gotten. scarlett is an experienced player, a great full back who should know how important he is to his team. the vid showed him swinging his fist into harding two times, harding soon after had a black eye, and the goal umpire saw it (even though he didnt report it at the time as he should have). scarlett shouldn't have done it, he should know better. they should take the two weeks and have the general back for barry hall in round 5.

There is nothing to cry about. He has been found guilty, if it was a Geelong player that suffered that injury you would just want to see whoever did it pay the price if it was a legitimate and malicious act.

The only crying I see are from one-eyed Cat fans.

Being found guilty of punching a player in the face while he is helpless and laying on the ground with another opposition player on him is a low dog act. By being found guilty of that act, he is.

If you want to stick up for flag man, I'm surprised, but good for you.

He is a big boy and can look after himself. He doesn't need me or anyone else to hold his hand.

I was just surprised at the level of idiocy of Cats fans on this thread. Especially the supporters that recognised that he was in the wrong and condoned what he did. That is a very sad group of supporters you guys have there.

Archer's done it. Carey did it. Schwass stomped a bloke FFS.

Then again, Schwatta actually won us a grand final by whacking that man-b1tch Troy Luff and putting him off his game.



(Not that we would condone such things.)

Now that's just silly. Didn't we agree not to whine about this after the decision was reached? Didn't we agree to abide by the umpire's decision?

I'm sorry. Were you talking about the Shinboner of the Century. Archer did it twice in one game last year. Wow what a guy. So tough, so couragous. Pull your hypocritical head out of you butt FFS.
 
Tas, Scarlett has been charged, not found guilty. Are you related to Lionel Hutz?

You go on about 'idiocy' and 'garbage' from Geelong supporters - take a look at the North forum before you start throwing stones.
