[VL3OJ]

Imagine Robbo barging over to the Laptop tonight ...

We get it Robbo. It was a bad hit and he deserves a healthy suspension.

but... but ...Essendon were not involed

Yeah, as soon as something like this happens it’s a race to see who can make the most extreme call.

On Channel 7 before they kept repeating “CALLS FOR A 10 WEEK SUSPENSION!”

By who? Some nuffy on Facebook?

Jeez it’s tedious.

In a practice match for heaven's sake - the stupidity shown by Webster here should be career limiting and it would be good for St Kilda to come out and say this is not the type of play that can be tolerated.

I see 8 weeks being the minimum viable here, six in the circumstances just doesn't cut it sorry and in clear cut incidents like this, I would also like to see red-cards issued by the score review bunker as a lot of the Rugby Union comps do now.

This was a dog act and this should be the last game he plays - full stop.

Simpkin got up and walked away

 

[projectv]

It was bad, he'll get 4-6.

Lucky Daisy Pearce wasn't commentating the game or she'd have erected a scaffold for the half time execution.

 

[_Mike_]

Powell-pepper got 4, Webster will get 6-8 if the tribunal are serious IMO

 

[Lance Uppercut]

What sort of ******* does this sort of thing ever, let alone in a meaningless preseason match?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

It will be in the 4-8 bracket.

The AFL dartboard will be working overtime. We do need to set the standard now though.

That act should see you miss finals if it occurs that late in the season.

 

[MagpieJo]

Players getting concussed with hits like this could sink a teams season. Simpkin is a decent player but what if it were LDU or Sheezel.

Deserves the maximum.

It doesn’t matter how good he is, that was unbelievably nasty, Jimmy ODay style,

Pepper should have got 2, this deserves 10

 

[Father Jack]

If you hauled off and punched someone in the head when they had no reason to expect it you'd get 8 weeks, why should this be less?

Agree a statement from St Kilda and remorse from the player would be good but there's probably something in the rules that prevents that from happening prior an MRP decision

Nah DeGoey got a week knocked off his hit at the start of last year for apologising post match, showing remorse, and pleading guilty.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Pepper should have got 2, this deserves 10

I think that was my point.

 

[windyhill]

Just went him. Stupid. 6-8.

Kind words from St Kilda assistant coach Corey Enright

4-5 weeks

Yeah/nah. 6-8 weeks, or the tribunal’s a joke.

 

[The acurate one]

It's an 8 week penalty and might even be more? It's unbelievable that any player in this day and age is even considering to bump like that, Ross Lyon needs to be asked what are they teaching players at Moorabbin? It's more than a puzzling decision.

You'd think between 8-10 and not that we want that as it doesn't help my boys at all.
But he had time to pull out and still went ahead with it. Very bizarre tbh.

 

[TY24]

Kingy with the double black and white profile photos, someone tell him Jy is still alive

Thoughts & prayers. Really, nothing would have been the better thing for Enright to say here

 

[maskmcgee]

AFL should make a statement give him a life ban

 

[Ocha905]

Going to be funny seeing the Saints PR machine in action.

Sadly at the expense of Jy though who won’t be the same player again.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

.... and?

He's ok

 

[ferball]

I'd be surprised if he gets two.
