Walters gut punch

[Young Gun #6]

1 week or just a fine?

Was pretty hard and a cheap shot but only in the guts and to an Adelaide player so I reckon nothing in it.

Fine

 

[Chism]

He was reported for a Head Butt after this gut punched happened to my knowledge.

Head Butts are pretty bad if found guilty of them.

Intentional, body, low for the gut punch - $1000

Intentional, head, low for the headbutt - 1 week (didn't see this but this is what the ump actually reported him for and gave 50 - so until proven otherwise assuming it happened, ump was 2 meters away and clearly said 'headbutt')

In before a Fremantle fan whinges about bias against them even though Walters will thoroughly deserve his punishment

 

[Young Gun #6]

As soon as vision comes out link in here please.

 

[romeohwho]

Has to be a week for stomach punch.

 

[D-N-R]

Fine for the punch, maybe a week for the head butt - would have to see how much contact there was with that, although the 'potential to cause injury' clause might factor into it.

Was being called out for taking a dive and got upset. Should take the acting out if he is going to get upset like that.

Give him a week for his mare today

Lol headbut with Walters height he barely reached doedees chin.

Just saw vision, nothing in the headbutt...will be thrown out. Think he'll get a week for the punch though.

Could get cited for a couple of dives as well. Was flopping about like a fish.

Yeah nothing in that, the gut punch could be: intentional, medium impact - which is a week isn’t it?

Ok well think the headbutt fell right in between what is a 50 and what is too low to be cited. Don't think he should get anything for the headbutt after all!

so just a typical game for Walters then!!

pathetic how many times he does that every week.

This was very noticeable. Think Luke Brown got into his head a little, did Walters realise he wasn't on in the last quarter?

 

[Tex9798]

How was that not called deliberate?

Anyway tough, was bigger than your standard gut punch.

Feel like they will make an example of him

 

[HairyO]

Expensive weekend for him. Fine and a week coming.

 

[silverscope]

Yeah he's gone. Just a matter of if it's 2 or 1 week

 

[Flash10]

Has to get one for the gut punch. Intentional and medium. Nothing for the head butt. End of story.

 

[WA ROO]

Suspending him improves Freo

 

[Ron The Bear]

Walters should only need to cite the Tom Lynch "insufficient force" incident as a precedent to receive a fine.

Nothing in it. You wanna cite Walters cite the Crows boys too, a lot of embarrassment for both sides.

Might have heard something "whispered in his ear" by the opponent when he was on him. Or, given that his opponent had his knee in his groin area when he was on the ground there might have been a bit of contact - not suggesting anything deliberate there - but I'd be annoyed if my nurries copped a hit. Also, quite likely none of these 2 options, but he looked pretty pissed off by something.

Anyway, he should have been in control regardless of if he perceived a provocation, it deserves to be looked at.

Can only imagine what was said or done to him to provoke it
