Hawkins Now

8 weeks

9 on appeal.

what about the doctors and trainers? surely they are negligent in their duty of care for not calling for a stretcher earlier. they waited until the play came the full length of the ground even though they knew he needed to be taken off.


He can play, but his knee gets 3 weeks..

From a realistic point of view, Hawkins was contesting the mark, Toovey ran against the flight of the ball. [censored] happens in those situations.

From a Melbourne/AFL supporter, the Tomahawk is gonna get his butt kicked at the tribunal.

this is a totally valid point. they should have stopped the cats kicking the ball back in. does this mean the umpires will get 3 weeks for being negligent??

 

Are we going to get one of these threads for every game this round?


We're developing a bigger siege mentality than North

Head high contact and off on a stretcher

Reckless?? or Accident

Obvious accident but what will AFL Do?

Doesn't matter,Gggoooonnne!

What about the tackle on Ling? Had one arm pinned and landed awkwardly. Immediately subbed. Was there a "duty of care" shown?

All we (the fans) ask for is consistency. For the MRP to not penalise such nothing incidents in the first place as well. But consistency please!!

Personally, I'm a big fan of the high mark but after all, a player's head is sacrosanct these days and even if injuries like Toovey's are accidental the player going for the mark owed him a duty of care.

I know this could spell the end of the high mark or any mark for that matter, but for the sake of every player's human rights we have to wipe it out of the game.


I hope the players don't start twittering or Mr Anderson will get ya..

The Footy review show afterwards had a replay of a sling tackle on ablett last year (i think)....came in right at the end so i missed most of it. Was tackled by a Sydney player (i think it was SCG) and hit his head on the ground. Took a while to get up....anyone know about this incident and the outcome re MRP if it was looked at?

it's not a siege mentality, it's being p*ss*d off with something that's wrong and smacks of hypocrisy and inconsistency

well said.

As long as whining endlessly about it on here makes you feel better, because it's not being read by 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% of the community and it won't put JT on the field for the next three weeks.


life.Tooveys head should also get a couple of weeks for the contact as well

NOTHING, this is accepted as per the AFL rule book.

Jake Spencer knocked out a player going for a mark, and he was not suspended. v Frankston 2 weeks ago.

Does that mean Hawkins is due to blow his knee to shreds next week?

 

Its funny how people only see and hear what they want, and block out the rest

It wasn't Lings head that was injured.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
