Stupid Dutchy given FIVE weeks!

[Lonie_from_50]

Fair enough I say. Yes, it is Finals footy and we want to see hard hitting stuff, but Brodie comes off the square with a brainless attitude in knocking out Brett Montgomery (best on ground in the end), in just a ridiculous manner.

Holland's verdict was that his hit had "intentional conduct, high impact, in play and high contact" - which comes to a total of 425 points or a four-match ban. On top of that, Holland's bad record of 5 matches in the last 3 seasons, the total accumulated to 595 points, BUT, he was once again hit hard with 96.88 residual points added onto the accumulated total from a bad record within the last 12 months, meaning SIX weeks.

If Collingwood and Brodie take the guilty approach from the panel, he will have a 25% discount (equating to 518.91 points) and a five match ban. This will scar his tribunal record for future reports, but if he fights the tribunal, he could face 6 weeks, a bigger loss.

Chick free, Pie faces five, afl.com.au

Does not worry me at all. With all the new kids in next year and the current new blood from this year he may find it very hard to get back in the team after 5 weeks might see him around round 8 who knows.

I think it was a good bump and don't blame him for doing that. 6 weeks is a bit harsh, I suppose he deserves the 2 extra weeks for his poor record but I would of thought around 2 or 3 would of sufficed.

But when you look at this j, intentional conduct, high impact, in play and high contact, i can't see where it can be changed. He came off the square going for Monty and not the ball (and the ball wasn't with Monty), it was obviously high impact and contact, and in play.

6 is very harsh - but obviously the AFL are sending a message.......come off the line in a final and run past the ball to flatten a player - and you will lose....

 

[RustyG]

I agree.Stupid act.
Should of at least gone for West or Cross.
At least it will silence all the "Collingwood players never get reported" morons.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

What about the guy that gave Daisy one in the face and the umpire called play on which led to an Adam Cooney goal in the second quarter?

 

[DJ Black @ White Blood]

The ump probably didnt see it, although i was 30 rows back on the opposote wing and saw it clear as day.

 

[Stakerz]

i frkn loved it, the game needs more of it, he got up didn't he.. was best on ground.. why rub out it of the game? frkn netball... frk afl.

 

[Jabso]

How can Brodie get 6 weeks, and Didak and Chick get nothing.

I know the afl are pussy's

 

[Fastback]

..the same reason Vandenberg copped 4 for a stupid double elbow brush to robertsons neck - another brain snap coupled with a terrible record. At least Holland's connected.

 

[magpies42]

absolute horse sh1t!
1. If they are going to be consistant then maybe yeah i can deal with it.
2. But what ****es me off the most is that the game has become weak. When a balarina like holland cant get away with a hip and shoulder there has to be something wrong.
BRING BACK THE ****IN BIFF FFS

 

[Troy Wingate]

He got exactly what he deserved. Glad to see the tribunal use some brains with this decision.

Would you **** off our board?

 

[spell_check]

Yep, footy has come a looong way since 1989.

 

[guess_who]

Word is that he only actually got two weeks, but they decided to add on what Didak should have goten.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

The sad thing is, Brodie lined him up with a 5 week hit, and he just got right up and proceeded to be BOG.

Yeah so why are they trying to get rid of the rough play and all this, nothing wrong with it.

 

[WakeUpPies]

he brought it on himself, but i still think 5 is too much

 

[Cassius_Clay]

This is what I dont get.

Guys like Guerra go out and target players like Holland did, yet they jump before they bump. Holland did not jump so why is it worse than what Guerra and co. do?

 

[russellthemuscle]

Zoolander ,the little **** wouldnt put a dent in a cream bun

 

[Jabso]

With the Chick, Holland and Didak, they are saying it's alright to hit the bloke with a hip and shoulder as long as the player:
- Has the ball in his hands - Didak
- Has disposed of the ball 10 seconds ago (a long time) - Chick
- Hasn't got his head over the ball

 

[almqvist]

cant any of you admit that one of your players actions was ridiculous, and un-called for....i like to see a bit of hip and shoulder play, but this was just plain stupid. shattock did a similar thing to a st.kilda player, did not stop short of saying he doesnt deserve to be playing football.
but im glad you felt like it gave you the edge. football skills intimidation counts much more than what i saw. and you guys were rag dolls,always will be.
