Wiping blood on opponents shorts

Probably get six week because he is red blooded rather than chicken meat.

    nathan buckley got a one week suspension when he wiped his blood on cameron ling 10 years ago.

    probably 2 weeks for howe? need to see the footage

    Nathan Buckley got 1 week for the same offence a few years ago. Would be interesting but not surprising if Howe gets more. Buckley led a charmed life with the tribunal and always got off until this incident. The bio mechanics expert witnesses couldn't help him with this one. Stupid fool Jeremy, why not just wipe some snot on him?

    Buckley got a week.

    Pretty shite form by Howe, what was he thinking. Given the MRP's current form wouldn't be surprised if he went for 2-3.

    Although, I'm hoping its a week at best.

    Buckley got 1 week. Would expect that will be used at the precedent. Have to say I have no idea of the incident and haven't heard it mentioned elsewhere. Silly thing to do, if he's done it?

  • Quote

    Surely wiping blood on shorts (Howe, MFC) is less bad than wiping it on a jumper (Buckley, CFC - 1 week)!!!

    I haven't seen the footage, but was it from his face or his hands?? The precedent as I recall was face to jumper.

    Sounds like a stupid act though.

    FCS what a merde season we are enduring.

    Who will take a specie to lift our dwindling spirits now?

    Buckley was trying to get rid of a tag - ie get Ling off the ground. Howe sounds like he was just stoopid.

    Rubbish.

    How the hell would that get rid of a tag, when Buckley himself was being sent off with the blood rule?

    There's no distinction between the 2.

    Buckley was directed to leave for the blood rule by the umpire during a stoppage. Some harsh words were then exchanged between Buckley and Ling. Buckley wiped him as he started to walk off.

    Being sent straight to the tribunal sounds way more serious than the usual ridiculous formula they go by.

    Completely dumb thing to do. Hard to defend this one, if true.

    AFL seems to enjoy making an example of these types of uncouth actions.

  • Quote

    I think either Ling gave Buckley the blood nose or Ling dobbed Buckley in to the umps for it getting him sent off.

    Either way Buckleys thinking was "If I'm going off, your coming with me."

    Howe was about 12 and living in a sleepy tassie town when Buckley did this.

  • Quote

    bloody hell.. what a bloody idiot!

  • Quote

    Stupid thing to do, and also a disgusting thing to do. Deserves whatever gets thrown at him really.

    2012 continues to provide new ways for the MFC to dissapoint.

    It sounds as if you are in furious agreement

    I wouldn't read too much into that, it's a clear situation where the MRP doesn't have a formula to work with so rather than just trying to make something up they've sent it to the tribunal to be argued.

    Haven't seen any of the game, and obviously the incident, but jeez what a dumb thing to do. I imagine he'll get some time off and cop an absolute spray from Neeld because it's these kinds of undisaplined acts that hurt the team. Especially when our forward line is so depleted, and our team devoid of people that can take a mark.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
