Opinion Zak Jones hit on Cloke

[Shanwah82]

If Luke Hodge did the same thing everyone would be saying how tough he is and how he leads by example. Robbo and Gerard would be highlighting it laughing and saying "its just hawthorns unsociable football".

Haha so true! I'm happy to see some aggression out on the field, it's been a while since we have someone play like that.

Was it a 50 because he didn't make a play on the ball? If he shepherded him the same way would it have been a 50 or even a turnover?

Harry doesn't go = squib drop the soft utensil

Jones goes = ZOMG changed the momentum of the game and stuffed it

I iz confuddled

I think it was for the lateness of the bump. They deemed Cloke had marked the ball already before Zak "chose" (i.e. already while in mid air) to bump. Collected him after taking the mark and the 50 was paid. Fair enough too I say. If it was the other way around I'd want a 50m penalty.

What, like when Wood collected Kizza early in the GF??

That's the thing that's really galling...
