Prediction So how many weeks for Hurn

[The Passenger]

In the current climate where the head is sacrosanct I thought he would get a week for sure.

When people were saying it's either three or none I thought 1) 3 weeks for that is beyond bullshit and 2) Surely there's something wrong with a scenario where it's a 3 week suspension or nothing...

The right call was made and we move on.

Common sense prevailed. Hurns being suspended would be as stupid as JD being suspended for accidentally knocking David out earlier in the year.

The important thing out of all of this is the Brownlow will still be Hurns

Full report for those interested:

Contact between West Coast’s Shannon Hurn and the Western Bulldogs’ Mitch Honeychurch from the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The ball is handballed in front of Honeychurch, who is running forward and seeking to take possession. Hurn is in the path of the Bulldogs’ player and takes up a stationary position. Honeychurch does not take possession of the ball and has his head down when contact is made with Hurn. In the instant before contact is made, Hurn turns his body slightly to protect himself and braces for inevitable contact. It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Hurn did not have a realistic alternative way to approach the contest. No further action was taken.

What a common sense statement, I can't criticise it at all. I am legitimately surprised.

I feel like it doesn't do this thread justice

Makes a big difference if the commentators go into bat for you or if they hang you out to dry.

Noise of affirmation at work.

Obviously as an Eagles player (and captain no less) he (and Gaff) should be sent to Port Arthur Tasmania for the term of their natural lives !

Basil should ask Hurn's thighs why they are so arrogant and entitled.
