Smith v Blakey "inappropriate contact"

[Maddo11]

Gross act

How many weeks? Slap on the wrist or Season ending?

 

[MF]

I actually think the AFL will come down very, very hard on this if the footage is as bad as it looks from the still frame.

 

[Orange crush]

Touk got a week for ball grabbing ... how much for a prostate check?

Some very clear photos of the incident (if this is in fact that one post is talking about)

Pretty sh.tty behaviour.

 

[faible]

Hopoate must have come out of retirement

What the ****?

 

[Maddo11]

What the ****?

Yes that's what I imagine Blakey would have said too

There's no polite way to check the sex of a lizard. /s.

John Hopoate would be proud. That's at least a knuckle deep.

That's a brilliant photo.

I'd love to show it to someone who's never even heard of the game and ask them what they think is going on.

Roughly a minute left in the first. It's nothing, the still just looks really bad.

We need to keep this sick shit out of our game, 12 month ban for the flog

Interesting. I'm not condoning the actions taking place there in any way, but it shows that Blakey instigated the touching of sensitive regions and Smith retaliated, which was not apparent looking at the still images above.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Perfect example of single frames and slow-mo misleading people.

In slow-mo it looks like Blakey has a grab first and Smith retaliates.

In real time its absolutely nothing from either side other than split second incidental contact from a human tangle.

Photoshop the footy out

Put a grid overlay on

Push it out as one of those (guess the coordinates of the footy) comps

I guarantee no one will get it

 

[Rod Stroker]

AFL saying case closed and no further action is basically saying, this action is acceptable, which ridiculous. That action is barely tolerable in a GP clinic, forget about a professional football field.

 

[Hollow Knight]

The slow motion footage of contact is 11 frames (i.e. less than half a second).

If you are 202 cm and can Hopoate someone for half a second while in the act of falling backwards, you are a superhero.

If we are judging it on slow-mo... what was Blakey doing first? In real time, it's just awkward fumbling from both of them in a human tangle.

Those looking for something more are writing erotic fan-fiction, which is fine, but just own it.

Strange, isn't it? You stick your finger up to the crowd, you get a fine, but you ARE allowed to stick your finger up an opponent's hole.

Baby Hopo needs a decent holiday. Oil Checks are not ok.
