Fair enough—there wasn't a whole heap in it, IMO.
Imagine the outcry if one of our guys was rubbed out for essentially being a pest.
That’s odd
He doesn’t play for Carlton

How would you propose they do that? You'd have to have zoomed in HD footage of every section of the ground in the hope you see something.AFL should start focusing on eradicating the BS behind the play niggles and non play involved hitting, pinching, slapping and shoving. Feel sorry for Caminiti, minding his business and being hit and just responds.
not 100% watch, but if you run the gauntlet and are caught either by camera or umpire. The AFL are so worried about the look of the game and parents views and I think this behind play nonsense when a player is unsuspecting (not in play) of getting jabbed, pinched, banged is a lot worse of a look to the game than other things that have been touted as such.How would you propose they do that? You'd have to have zoomed in HD footage of every section of the ground in the hope you see something.
It's just not plausible.
Hard to agree with this. Even if there was pinching (or something of that ilk), the pinching isn't a worse look than the retaliation and a concussion.not 100% watch, but if you run the gauntlet and are caught either by camera or umpire.

Well ….the filth player hit him first but didn’t connect/knock him out so maybe a fine for him?
caminitti Knocks him out so probably misses games …maybe reduced due to filth player instigating it ??

The other playing instigating niggle won't have any impact nor should it.
Correct Murphy should have his own separate penalty imposed.The other playing instigating niggle won't have any impact nor should it.
There are 4 umpires around the ground. Start paying downfield free-kicks and this nonsense will stop pretty quickly. It's long overdueHow would you propose they do that? You'd have to have zoomed in HD footage of every section of the ground in the hope you see something.

On this and I’m being serious although not sure if it applies in this instance.
Rules and regulations don’t override the law.
If you punch me, I’m allowed to punch you back, reasonable force comes in to play, so im not sure in this case if the retaliation can be classed as reasonable.
So can the Saints player actually claim self defence? If both are a punch then I don’t see how both don’t get suspended.
so what filth player did is fair play?Wouldn't have thought so, it was an unnecessary and reckless and undisciplined act by the Saints player that had the potential to do some serious damage to Murphy. I hate Collingwood as much as any one here (maybe more so) but that was indefensible.
Got to get a month off for that (at least)
Maybe not but filth player hit as well so he needs to get some sort of punishment tooThe other playing instigating niggle won't have any impact nor should it.
Are you sure hit was body? I might need to look again but it looked like a high punch that didn’t connect properly?One was to the body and Caminiti ultimately was fine. Murphy got hit in the head and concussed. That's the difference.
There won't be any 'self defence' argument in AFL footy.
How do you want 4 umpires to see 44 players on a ground? It's fanciful.There are 4 umpires around the ground. Start paying downfield free-kicks and this nonsense will stop pretty quickly. It's long overdue
