Oppo Camp General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 5

Hawkins punched Stratts twice with a closed fist, on the jaw, a few years ago, he reeled backwards. But guess what? No penalty for him. It’s a cats player, so he won’t be suspended, He could knock out a player, and he still won’t be penalised

 

[Argy]

Clearly a round-arm to the head from behind. Hawkins has to get at least a week for that.

Guaranteed Whately will mention the tom mitchell incident again

We started the year saying Sneaky jumper punches etc would be stamped out.......fast forward and its the big hawkins with a round arm

Really enjoying the Frawley show on SEN

So many funny moments that I had forgotten about

A reminder of how good ‘the rub’ used to be

 

[TylerDurden]

Wow, Hawkins banned for one week. Can’t believe it! Can you just hear what the cats are saying.

Appeal on the way.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Appeal on the way.

I had this message come up on my screen, that he was banned for next week. Yet when I read AFL live, it doesn’t read that. Confusion

 

[PT Bar None]

Looking forward to the legal argument in the appeal. It will be great. This will be up there when Sydney successfully argued that there was no such thing as behind play when they got Barry Hall off.

Out with the popcorn

 

[hebog]

It is one week, easy to downgrade to a fine.

 

[A Cut Above]

The nuffies are already losing their shit over on the Handbagger board over this.

 

[mainehawk]

Must go and see!

I know this is video is about Coniglio but thought it was pretty interesting and showed a fair bit about O'Meara as well and how close they are.

Hodge officially calls it a day - again - after Lions' exit from finals

Four-time premiership player Luke Hodge has called time on his stellar career

Thank you for everything. Oh captain my captain.

 

[beta_condition]

knocked off 3 of the last 4 sides in the run home into the finals, throw Mitchell back into our side and top 4 isn't a far off dream.

That one was truly bizarre. Hit Stratts pretty bloody hard. But Porkins has also been suspended for some soft hits too. Overall he has form and surely the 1 week stays. I can only imagine if Sicily did this to one of their players the hanbaggers and Scott would be crying foul and demanding weeks.

That Barry Hall part is true. Although Swans also had a court injunction ruled on Dunkley many years ago to allow him to play in a final. That was disgraceful.

 

[Kil Phearns]

The Johnsons and dal Santo’s of this world will no doubt tip us for bottom six again next year. Let’s hope we can surprise them again.

 

[CD Xbow]

Maybe. I thought it was strange he got a week given previous incidents that have been overlooked and it's taken Geelong stars to repeatedly hit people in the head to get rubbed out. The timing of the release of the Willie Rioli drug test was curious, too. No performance enhancing drugs found, then the AFL rub him out real quickly. Couldn't be that the AFL might be nudging it toward a Richmond/Collingwood GF? Probably not, but it's a good story.

 

[badgrill]

Surely has to get a week now?
Or even two?

Nah - just a $15,000 fine.

Heard Greene talking after the game. Had never really listened to him before. If he wasn’t an AFL player he’d be in jail right now - no doubt in my mind.

 

[Pessimistic]

So, when did the media prissy boys whining about stratts on cameron turn into this weeks mob glorifying violence?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Just saw Dangerfield’s comments from yesterday where he referred to players copping fines instead of weeks:

“I agree with the AFL’s approach - you want the best players out there playing - so I hope there’s consistency with that.”

This is exactly the dumb attitude the AFL has helped foster with letting Greene off. Players have a mentality now of ‘I can step over the line with immunity because it’s finals’.

Hopefully the one week ban to Porkins will make the dickheads think it through.

He's on the spectrum without doubt, no eye contact, blank look into the distance when talking to people. Doesn't take prompts and waits for exact and direct wording. Classic signs.
Good luck to him though, in a world where making it is much about communication as talent.

Yeah there is something not quite right about Greene. Lucky he is a footballer.
