MRP / Trib. Steve Johnson reported for striking

[catempire]

Anyone know the incident?

 

[OzeSparky]

Im sure a few players would of loved to give him a wack, while I'm at it a few supporters too!

 

[InnocentBystandr]

Given that its Johnno, they probably file the report on spec, then trawl the video for evidence.

 

[fpm84]

I can only assume this is a match day report? Why did we not know about it until now?

 

[Scottland2007]

On report for his nuts striking someone's fist? Seems about right.

 

[JUBJUB]

Anyone know the incident?

It'll be the incident where he tackled Bundy in the forward pocket [Ablett Terrace side] and something happened to him to make him re-act,then Bitch Robinson jumped in and had a crack at him.
As mentioned,he may've been squirrel gripped in the pack.

 

[JUBJUB]

How come it's taken 2 days for this news to come out ?
Even the AFL website doesn't mention it

GEELONG 5.1 7.4 13.7 17.11 (113)
BRISBANE LIONS 2.1 3.6 5.7 8.9 (57)

About the 10:05 minute mark of the last quarter Bundy has Johnson in a tackle and to me it appears as though Johnson gives him a little right hand jab on the chin while they are both lying on the ground.

F*** I wish he would just stop with this bull***t already. For a guy who may be playing for his career he sure likes to put himself in these stupid situations.

Didn't look to be too much in it but it was high & intentional and with his bad record I wouldn't be suprised if he gets a week. I really hope not. It would be a shame for him to get rubbed out on the eve of his 250th and what might be season defining game for us.

insufficient contact, the umps were horrendous
they should have been reported for insufficient knowledge of the rules

Dead on. Part of our bad run with umpires at times feels related to his theatrics and his constant little dog acts.

Credit where credit is due, Sam Mitchell does his dirty stuff far smarter and is more effective. Gets players subbed and only a fine.

If he has to get suspended drop a Hawthorn player early after they have kidney punched one of our young players. Not this crap.

That Kelly decision where he marked the ball and was pinged for playing on after momentum took him one step, was plain stupid. Same thing happened to a Lion in the next quarter (different umpire) and umpire didn't ping the guy

I think you will find it was a reaction to something bundy did (given his free kick count we know who was shouting them a beer or two)

One of the umps whacked Stevie in the mouth also.

10:05 counting up or down?

 

[catempire]

This is the scene of the crime. He whacked him good. He will get weeks.

 

[Cattery]

insufficient contact,

Well that clears that up.

Down I think but yep, your image above is spot on.

A still image of both lying on the ground?

Yes, I don't have a clip unfortunately so I was just pointing to the stage of the game where it occurred. Others can look it up on afl.com.au themselves.

I'm not able to view the video, but no chance of a fine in your opinion?

Josh Gibson whacked some Carlton guy in the stomach last week to the point where he was struggling to breathe on the bench and Gibson didn't get a week.

The look on Tomahawk's face is interesting

Given he already escaped with a fine for rough conduct earlier in the year, I wouldn't think so.

Isn't the rule two fines and then a suspension? I know Gibson has been fined for similar off the ball strikes against Adelaide and Carlton.

Of course the MRP may decide the threshold is enough for a week anyway.

as Kelly said the previous qtr "You guys are having a mare"
