No it isn't. Any deliberate contact with an elbow should be a suspension, no matter how light. Bernie got two weeks last year for a light brush on a NM player's throat, and so he should have.

The more I think about this the more annoyed I get. What a stupid precedent to set! I seriously hope one of our boys does elbow someone this week just to test the consistency of the whole tribunal. We all know how that would end though.

Why the he'll should he be not guilty. He elbowed a player on the chin behind play. No matter how much contact that should a suspension. Once again the AFL are the laughing stock

Oh well, elbows up boys, the AFL say it is fine!

So you are happy for player's to be elbowed in the chin on the field. Should be a week at least.

Huh, what words from Lewis. Did I miss something?

Absolute load of cheap coming out of his mouth. You don't lead with an elbow to push someone away

It seems David Grace's go to defence is 'we don't know what we did but it wasn't what it looks, in fact it is everyone else's fault' though he would have learnt with Essendon, then again the AFL let them off!

They seem to trying everything, first the ump didn't see it, then it was a forearm and not an elbow, and now it was a push not a swing! No wonder lawyers have a bad name!

Schofield arguing insufficient force to be reportable. To prove that that need to say the medical report was wrong or clarrie exaggerated his symptoms to the doc. Game on.

Houli got two weeks. No way the tribunal will give schofield 2 weeks as well considering the impact on each hit player.

So is Henwood, he also played for Melbourne. Just wait for the consipracies to fly if he gets two weeks!

Looking I thought it looked bottom of neck. I reckon the base of his hand was collar bone and the rest on the base of his throat. If it was pure chest I would agree to a point (unless it winded him) but on the neck would put you down.

Really? You try and stay standing after getting smacked just below the adams apple!

Sorry, had the wrong North Melbourne sniper who round house punched him in the throat. Whoops.

Agreed on both front, I think it is laughable to say he dived then, but people are looking for any possible time in order to back up their claims here. Some were even questioning if the ball touched his hand in the kicking in danger free on the weekend or if he faked that as well. You can clearly see all his fingers bend back just after the kick. Really is just a bunch of lazy morons who don't want to actually watch and make judgments but prefer to be sheep.

Some people think he took a dive against North when cuntington swung an open hand punch into his throat.

My thoughts on Talking footy hosts. Watson - go and apoligise and make a few more excuses for drugs cheats you $&%$ Carey - Should never have been seen or heard again after glassing efforts. %*%^ of the highest order Darcy - What is it like living as Eddie 2.0 you sniveling parasite!

It wasn't a comment on who was a good commentator, it was a comment on who I liked, hence I said people I LIKE commentating. I neither like BT or think he is a good commentator. He constantly greets names wrong, has no idea about what 80% of the team's in comp are up to, and loves the sound of his own voice.

I didn't want to be too harsh on the bloke

That would be a start. I swear if I heard Cyrrrrrrriiiiiiillllllllllllllll, or Specccccccciiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll, or Deliciiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooouuuuuuuuuuussssssssssss again I would climb through the telly to get him!

Should have just put a little elbow on his chin and seen what his reaction was!

I noticed the apology as well and thought it was good.

Just commented in more depth on an old thread talking about commentators as to not distract from this thread. Agree entirely though.

Thought I would look at this 12 months on but put my own thoughts forward. People I like commentating. Jonno Brown - Not because he is smart or insightful, just because he talks us up and seems to be one of few who can see what is building. Dennis Commetti - Sadly no longer on but was quite witty and didn't get caught in all the crap the others do. Roos - Clearly knows his stuff and loves us. I love how he talks about us like he talked about the Swans when he arrived. King - Don't mind him but I have no idea why. Daisy - Superstar in every way! The others are the lesser known actual commentators, the ones who call the game and leave all the other crap behind. They take so little of the spot light themselves I can't even remember their names. I think it was the Gold Coast game where this was the case with pretty much the whole panel, it was great. (Huddo, Whateley, Morfett, types) Commentators that I am indifferent to. Dermie - Seems to know what he is on about, talks us up at times and seems to actually know who we are. Does get caught up in the boys club too much though. Ling - Same as Dermie Judd - Love the fact he is a little more intelligent that most of them but brings himself down to their level with the boys club crap (If you hadn't gathered I'm not a fan of boys club [censored]) Carey - I like his commentary and think he is one of the early adopters of us on the rise. Can't stand him as a women bashing %^&# that he is. Commentators I don't like. BT - Idiot of the highest order who plays to the lowest common denominator and thinks the whole show is about him. Also has no idea who most of the players are. McAvaney - Respect his knowledge and commitment to the job but he gets a little too exited by some players and it detracts from his calling. He constantly seems to need reassurance that what he says is right to. Lethal - Watched the Hawks game and have not heard such a one sided biased piece of work since press red for Ed. No respect for anyone, thinks he is god, go and get stuffed lethal. Zempelis - Doesn't know or care about anything outside of WA. McLachlan - Would not have a job if it wasn't for his brother. Insipid sycophantic morsel of a human being. Eddie - Can get stuffed. Likes to be professional and impartial but has little digs where ever possible. Darcy - Eddie 2.0 (or Little Ed as I like to call him) Watson - Biased drug cheat apologist moron. Richo - There just isn't much up top. I am sure there are many I have left off, am interested to know other peoples thoughts as it can make you see things in people you don't notice yourself.
