Ox on SEN is fuming Thompson only got the 1 week. Reckons he should have got 3 to 4 for a thuggery hit.

They should have hit them harder and got some value for their suspensions.

3 matches for what? They must have more footage of it that is an absolute joke 

Worse possible outcome 

given lewis cops three either way, might as well appeal his at any rate

Cleary the colour of the jumper influences the penalty Cannot believe this 

Argh! Next week is an incredibly important game. It will be made that every bit harder now that we won't have Hogan and Lewis out there.

I'll admit that both action shows were reckless, stupid and deserved at least one week apiece, but two and three weeks respectively seems very harsh, especially considering that Thompson was only given the one week.

Thank goodness we'll have Bernie set to come back in to cover for Lewis. Spencer seems likely to get a look in as well.

I've calmed down a little bit and taken a breath from when I first read the news. [censored] you you bunch of corrupt [censored] pieces of [censored] AFL. 

The Lewis one stings the most.

Against Geelong, we were never going to have either of them play.

Hopefully against Freo, we can scrounge a win without both of them.

But to then not have Lewis for the Richmond game in a massive Anzac Day eve game....hurts.

He'll get 4 if we appeal

This is a terrible result. Lewis also misses a big Anzac Eve game

I believe 3 weeks is an absolute joke for Jordan lewis, but regardless the fact that he put himself in this situation is an indictment. 

Jordan came to the club for leadership and skills and to teach a young team how to play AFL footy.

Regardless of if he hit him or blah blah, Jordan put himself in the situation where a negative result could occur in a quarter where we were down in the dumps. He stooped down to the level, frustrated by our poor performance that quarter and hit a guy after a blues goal and got himself suspended.

An absolute atrocity, and something he should feel very ashamed of 

Our so called improved depth will now get tested.

Trengove Bugg Kent Pedersen Kennedy will be pushing their case over the next couple of weeks.

 

Hogan 2 weeks?! Joke. He has no priors. 

 

So is Hogan out for 2 or 1 with an early plea?

The AFL site is saying he will miss both Geelong and Freo games.

I just watched the Thompson hit- I do not understand how the MRP come up with their deliberations. That was far more forceful and dangerous than anything Lewis or Hogan did.

The inconsistency is incredible.

 

Obviously the AFL doesn't want us to rise too quickly.

Hater's gonna Hate

Absolutely raging...

This is nothing new for us. The AFL always hit the non-favoured clubs harder reynold. The AFL never changes its spots. We are easy pickings

We are 2-0 and they are 0-2. Must be the only way anyone sane could look at that Thompson decision. One of the more dangerous and gutless things I've ever seen. 

Throwing punches isn't great behaviour but at least the other guy is going toe to toe with you. A blind cheap shot elbow could've cracked any number of bones in Dangerfield's head.

Hogan got 3 down to 2, can accept 2 games

That is insane.

I can understand a week, or even two for what they did, but three weeks?

 

Phenomenal decisions.

Cannot believe the Thompson one, consider Rance's dog hit on Watts last year was almost the same, but with less force. And he got 2 for that.

How the fark did Scott Thompson only got 1 week yet Hogan got 2!?

Useless [censored]

Thompsons was worse than both 

Angry but not suprised. 

After Varcoe got one week and Bernie got the same. 

Seige mentality now Demons

This is the biggest load of BS.

I wander if we have the knackers to contest.
