Looks likely that Hodge and Lewis will be missing our encounter in a couple of weeks ...

Can see the afl tribunal finding a way to give them one week each. God i hate the dorks. Almost as much as essenscum

I wonder when an eye for an eye will be dealt out to hawthorn? Can't remember when they've been physically attacked in this era. Not saying it's right, just saying it might be necessary...

As I said elsewhere Harford is on the MRP expect maximum leniency.

Bob?

Bob?

Aaaaaaahhhhh......

Agree.

Just wish we were good enough to do it.

yeah, offered one week with zero for early plea. Can see it now.

Interesting that Hodge threw his at the 13 min mark when they were level with North, North then lost focus and Hawks motored on.

Hawks play GWS and Demons next two weeks.

They'll get 3 with plea down to 2. Get them cherry ripe for Swans after us.

Nope, 100%, they will cop at least two weeks.

Actually an interesting aspect to Hodges over reaction to Swallow, it happened in a footy match, on a grass field and against a very fit victim. The consequences are thus reduced. It should be adjudicated on the consequences that could have happened. Elsewhere it could be termed a cowards punch.

North's response was pathetic. Needed to forget football for 5 minutes and knock Lewis and Hodge out. Then get on with trying to win the game. Have to fight fire with fire. Hodge will be lucky to get 2 and Lewis 1.

The Ice Hockey sin bin rule needs to come in here which will be especially critical and relevant in a GF match where there's no tomorrow.

The following sin bins should be considered >>

- if a player is knocked down off the ball or well after a play/mark is completed like the incidents above>> 20 minutes minumum or rest of the quarter (whichever is longer.. ie., if there's oly 10 minutes left player is binned for remaining 10 minutes plus first 10 minutes of following quarter) ; OR

- If under the above scenario the effected player misses the entire match (ie., doesn't return after the concussion test) being subbed, then player responsible for that player missing remains binned for the entire match also, whether or not a sub is available.This could result in a team having only 17 players or less available and on the field depending on the fitness/health/availability of remaining interchange/sub players. Regardless the instigator misses the remainder of the match.

Hodge is a dog. Always has been.

Wish he was ours.........

20 minutes minumum or rest of the quarter (whichever is longer.. ie., if there's oly 10 minutes left player is binned for remaining 10 minutes plus first 10 minutes of following quarter) if a player is knocked down off the ball like these incedents or misses the match if the player doesn't return after the concussion test ie., he is subbed.

If Lewis gets one week I am giving it up. He has no defence, high contact intentional and high impact surely that is two with a guilty plea. But then it is the Dorks.

Merrett didn't even get cited for something I thought was much worse against Pedersen last year.

And Deledio got off for elbowing someone in the face last year so certainly not confident that Hodge will go.

Hodge and Lewis.

Two weeks each in my opinion.

But Hawks are scary. They are warriors.

Chook they somehow deemed Merrett to be going for the ball. I can't see Lewis putting up the same defence and having credibility. He came in sideways and late but I am sure they will try it on. Goldstein has an eye not a squashed nose, the only difference is where contact happened.

You say warriors, I say bullies. But yes they are scary.

You want to see warriors? I draw your attention to the Melbourne Football Club, c. 2015.

HODGE. off the ball. elbow to the jaw of Swallow.

LEWIS. after the mark swinging arm to Goldsteins head.

AFL... is the head sacrasanct ??????

As we know only when it suits them.

Nothing to do with the Dorks Hood. This is one of the AFL's pin up boys in one of their top 3 Vic clubs. Protected species. They want as many of their big guns up and running in as many prime time broadcast matches as possible throughout the year ie., bigger ratings = additional advertising revenue = more willingness for broadcaster/s to bid higher on next contract

3 matches each at least, doesn't matter if they are current greats. MRP would be beyond a joke if they got off lighter.
