AFL will use the “we didn’t get the medical report back in time” excuse again

It's really a disgrace how they bend over backwards not to suspend big name players. It's beyond time where the media should be calling them out on it.

[Sir Why You Little 37,145]

"I've seen the (Hawkins) incident, what I will say is what I think in recent weeks in the AFL is moving away from suspensions.

"I agree with the AFL's approach, you want the best players out there playing so I'd hope there's consistency in that."

What I take from that is he’s happy for someone to clean him up come next weekend.

Seems that way doesn’t it. 

Open the Floodgates....

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Dangerfield is absolutely trying to influence the AFL.  UNBELIEVABLE ARROGANCE. 

Hawkins deserves 2 weeks minimum.  Head high. Off the ball. Medium impact. 

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

Suspended for a week by MRO

Graded as intentional, high contact with a low impact

I am overseas at the moment and planned my trip around being home for the GF and watching the Dees win a flag - seriously what was I thinking??

Clearly, you're stark raving mad like all the rest of us.

Seriously, if you weren't, we'd think there was something wrong with you.

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

An aside

just turned on to watch the Storm who play in an hour and caught the last half of the NRL women's match.

Excellent quality. As a sport it it appears to be far more transferable quality wise between the genders.

[sue 9,145]

1 week.  Doubtless will win no-risk appeal.  Staged.

In fairness to my mental state, my husband is a Pies supporter so there was no chance I can extend my holiday even if I want to. I have told him he can go home and I will linger in Italy a bit longer but he was not too impressed with that idea ???

[McQueen 17,867]

EAD Hawkins. You might kick lots of goals but you’ve always been a staging and sniping piece of [censored]. 

 

Clearly I’m a fan.

That would explain a fair bit. What a double whammy. I have no such excuse, being the only football follower in my family. Locked in a prison of my own making. Which may be worse? Even contemplating that could drive me mad(der).

[Willmoy1947 4,140]

Hawkins should have been rubbed out for 4 to 6 with his record of brutality and shifty behind play incidents and i wouldn't have him at MFC either. This game was set up for Sooky and his team to win no matter what,  with the phone calls flying between the AFL and the cats saying things like.........how much off ball interference can we get away with, "Christo" and his (ex cat) mate, and then along comes dopey..

 A pathetic umpiring performance wher the maggots had been instructed to not allow a Team to proceed further that had dared to make a laughing stock of the AFL.......no votes from me!!!!

If it were a boxing match it would be a KO punch. Schofield was down for at least the full 10 count. Low impact is a joke. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,145]

Toby Greene is popular  so far

[dees189227 12,401]

I wonder if the lions got into the finals a year to early. So far they aren't really handling the start gws have got off to and when you see Hodgey kicking it out on the full it's not a great start. 

I just wonder if the giants if they get through next week have the guts to apply the same tactics against the pies.

Dangerfield is happy for one of the ‘best’ players to clean him up.  So Lachie Neale is welcome to punch him in the face, without any recriminations.

[DubDee 26,124]

Best quarter of footy I’ve watched all year. Had it all. Cameron is a dead set champ playing through the pain. I though he had busted his arm. Carn the bears!

toby is the ultimate villain. Love to hate him and wish we had him

Fabulous quarter... there's a few GWS players who don't like to work hard the other way too often.  Hard working teams who can maintain possession  reasonably well will find them out

Tomlinson busy with 2 possessions to his name, early second qtr 

[Sir Why You Little 37,145]

What a cracking game. Best final for years

Apart from us last year!!

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

No quarter given by either team....both playing socially unfriendly footy.

Robertson's little back slap on Whitfield right in the small of the back where he'd just taken a hit to put him down again.  Classic

[whatwhat say what 22,949]

Maggots are losing the plot 

[Sir Why You Little 37,145]

This reminds me of 2002 Semi against Adelaide
