Stratton joins WWE: Pinches, Stomps, Gestures

[devilsnap]

2 weeks.

 

[GuzzLG]

Foxfooty: "As part of his argument, Ben Stratton's representative says the Hawk is still learning what it takes to be the club's captain"

Wtf hahaha

Maybe first learn not to be a complete piece of s**t?

 

[asanque]

Yet another Hawthorn player who has received a harsher penalty then any penalty ever based on past precedent for similar incidents (including again being punished for 'potential to cause serious injury', whilst two other players this week got cleared for insufficient force).

 

[Generalissimo]

One week each for the pinching and the stomping.

 

[raskolnikov]

Surely we can name a new dance after Ben. The Pinch and Stomp? The Stomping Pinch?

Cry me one mate! Got two for being a sniper, most of your previous snipers have got off free.

Like the way this will send a message to all snipers, crap like that will get you games

 

[vanders]

Someone explain to me why pinching a guy is worth a week but throwing an elbow at someones head isn't?

 

[DamoESP]

2 weeks sounds about right.

Foxfooty: "As part of his argument, Ben Stratton's representative says the Hawk is still learning what it takes to be the club's captain"

Wtf hahaha

Though, really should have copped a third just for this weak af defence....

One is protected species as a Brownlow medalist.

 

[theyellowsash]

Tribunal clearly think pinching and stomping have more potential to cause injury than a running forearm to the face

 

[Beerfish]

Should've known he'd get the obligatory 1 week Hawthorn player good bloke discount.

 

[gingernuts]

Stratton says he likes to play hard, that's not hard that is filth.Get the sook cream out and sandbag "the family club" to prevent a flood.

 

[romeohwho]

A week for the pinching is over the top. A fine would be appropriate.

Fines don't work as a deterrent.

 

[vanders]

Fines don't work as a deterrent.

Then why fine guys for striking?

 

[romeohwho]

Fines don't work as a deterrent.

Regardless this offence only warranted a fine- they have fines on the books for plenty of charges.

Sometimes you win the lottery. Toot toot, all aboard the Hocko train!

 

[brutus76]

Made an example of im afraid to say.

2 weeks stiff but at least he is copping it.

Indeed just ask Nat fyfe

 

[HirdyLannister]

For the AFL Christmas party.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Did they review these separately or together? Thought the pinching would be a fine, and probably a week for the stomp.

 

[pazza]

Wonder what Clarko will say tomorrow?

Where are the apologies to Fantasia and McKernan

 

[Gralin]

Should've known he'd get the obligatory 1 week Hawthorn player good bloke discount.

You think he got a good bloke discount?

I think he got a dumb s**t loading, either event by itself would have been a fine, they might have sent him to the tribunal to make it a bigger one but unlikely either in isolation would have been a week.

 

[SydCrow]

Then why fine guys for striking?

If it worked there would be no striking

How many pinching bruises before it's a suspension?
