If he bumped, was the contact made because of circumstances within the control of Hodge? If yes, guilty.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Lol

Have a look it in real time not slow motion

 

[Aphrodite]

Hodge not guilty.

Jury says Hodge didn't bump. Not guilty.

 

[Aphrodite]

[TheFourPillars]

Luke Hodge has been cleared after the jury found he was looking to avoid Roughead, not bump Henderson. Free to play Friday, with no points.

So it's ok to elbow someone in the head now!!

 

[Seen5]

He really didn't you know.

Maybe have a good read of the board.

I've been following footy for over 30 years, it's changed and the way it's played today isn't the way Hodge played. Lost respect.

Thanks for allowing me to type this again .

*seal clap* arf arf arf...

And if you honestly believe that... I have some property that is perfect for development. It might look like a swamp at the moment, but with the proper development, it will be a winner.

Q: The fine line between accidental contact and negligence?

A: It's okay to be a thug if you play for Hawthorn.

Kewl... so... it's ok to break someone cheek, and elbow someone in the head, but it not ok to brush foreheads lightly or bump someone legally and accidently break their jaw.

I can see that... honestly I can.

I can also see little birdies and rainbows and pink elephants.

Crack, it ****s you up!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Seriously. **** sake.

 

[Izzy Real]

Geez. Talk about Carlton getting the rough end of the pineapple..

Grrrr

Be fair mate, it was clearly unintentional.

Hodge isn't a thug.

No he's a sniper

The game is in total disarray ...

- Interfering rules committee
- Umpires who change interpretation week to week
- MRP and Tribunal who change constantly and can't track what each other's doing
- Performance enhancing drugs, and a team running around chock full of drugs
- Recreational drugs and abuse of three strikes
- Unequal draw
- Equalisation farce
- Tanking
- Unequal salary cap
- Shocking media coverage
- Racism flaring
- Player treatment of women
- the CEO takes 6 week off in the middle of 2012
- memberships being jacked up way beyond inflation
- clubs overly reliant on gambling revenue
- broadcasters addicted to gambling revenue

Wonder what kind of bonus the dentures salesman will get this year to covering his own gambling addiction. Seriously, what a farce.

Thank god it's the best game on Earth to watch or we'd be in serious trouble.

We didnt just get the rough end of the pineapple... they stuck an echidna on there as well... for the extra feeling.

 

[Izzy Real]

He also attempted to take Walker's head off with a flying elbow but missed. Intent was there..

Just saying

 

[JustaBattler]

Hodge is way too smart to be a thug - nope - he is a very clever very schooled sniping DOG - anyone who has played contact sport knows exactly what he did to Murphy and Henderson and how.

Now piss off.

Pretty spot on, is a poorly run organisation greedy for the dollars rather than the enjoyment of the fans, I am about ready to walk away from it and join the storm

 

[TheFourPillars]

I'm surprised Hodge got off for the Henderson incident but as you say, it doesn't really affect us and I'm confident Henderson would be O.K. with it.

Incidents like Wellingham's from last year really get to me. That thug should have gone for 10 weeks.

If you look at the replay in real time you can clearly see he gets airborne to avoid roughy and the contact to henderson was post that action. Someone just mentioned about playing contact sport and said that he meant it. Thats just hilarious
