That’s what happens when you get kicked in the face. I was 100 metres from that and boy was the sound sickening

    I remember that when it happened there was an odd hush on the MCG at the time, the sound of it was absolutely awful. I could not believe King got off scott free, it was reckless, stupid, and clearly dangerous. Meanwhile Brent Moloney got 2 weeks in the same year for “potential impact” on Bartel but didn’t actually touch him.

    Geelong ruckman. Steven King.  

    Not to be confused with the author - different kind of horror.

    It was a sickening hit. Sounded awful when that boot hit and I just remembered gasping and hoping Jeff was ok.

    I’ll always hate Bomber Thompson for joking about it in his press conference after the match. Something along the lines of head shouldn’t have been there, he head butted Kings foot etc. [censored] waste of skin that bloke. He’s probably face down in a ditch now after his ice addiction.

    Karma has caught up to Thompson the past few years.

    He definitely wasn’t joking in the press conference the following week when nick davis had just ran riot and kicked them out of the finals ! Magical Geelong capitulation

    How true! Still occurring, possibly always will until the AFL become transparently responsible.

    Me too, was almost as high as you can get in the stands but still heard it clear as day.

    As a few have mentioned, you could hear the sound from the crowd and it was sickening.

    Bomber said something along the lines of 'King could've broken his leg' which was just so out of touch given the seriousness of the injury. Would love to see the actual quote, I've looked for it but haven't found it.

    I always remember when Thompson was on 360. Absolutely off his box, and nothing was ever said or done. 
     

    His Port Melbourne wharehouse was fascinating 

    Got off….

    shocking privelaged human

    I think the class of Bomber as a human has been on display for all to see.

    At least there is some comfort that he, Bomber, has to wake up being him every day.

    Was that the day when Jeff White's jaw could've broken King's leg according to Mark Thompson?

    I remember that too - he was 'on' something that day...

    Sorry did Jeff get hit? Or is this from when he got kicked in the face?

    All we know is what is included by Jeff White in the photo in the OP. Given the #kinghit hashtag, I think we can assume it is from the Stephen King kick.

    It actually raises a question in my mind about the kicking in danger rule. I don't know how the rule is worded but it seems to me a free kick (pardon the pun) is only paid if the kick actually makes contact with an opposition player. I would have thought a free kick should be played whenever there is a risk of such contact rather than only when contact is made.

    I actually thought it waa paid on contact and also if there was a chance of making contact.

    Thus at the umps disgression if it seemed contact could have been made its in danger.

    Dont quote me.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
