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.

    bloody hell.. what a bloody idiot!

    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: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
