Re: Buddy gets two!
If his elbow hit Bens elbow/lower arm that means it was raised yes?

Re: Buddy gets two!
Er no. Perhaps watch the incident again with your eyes open, and also listen to the commentators comments about his elbow. The term "Tucked in" is used several times by Walls and Quartermain

Its another Adrian Anderson debacle. Why do we ever expect him to get anything right?
Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
Spot on re: CEO & his cronies are behind the decline of AFL. When Mike Sheahan says that Buddy shouldn't have gone, you know that #23 should have got off. How did Demitriou get this job anyway? Wasn't he lined up behind Jackson for a few years? God help this great game if Adrian Anderson gets the CEO after Herr Demitriou.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
I'm willing to bet that anyone constantly mentioning the 'rules of the game' in any reference towards defending the tribunal's decision, haven't played Aussie Rules football in any serious capacity.
The decision is a complete farce.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
Here's the ONLY thing to remember in footy.
There are rules that govern this game that we love. Step outside of those rules, however incorrectly they might be made or interpreted and you should cop the penalty that applies to such an infraction.
Why on earth then would you risk losing a player for 2 weeks knowing that the infraction has occured when the lesser penalty was all the punishment that was needed to apply.
Sure, I don't think that bumping shouild be outlawed from the game - but, do not hit the bloke in the head UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
To the Hawks fans and Buddy - suck it up. Buddy you did the deed and you should cop it sweet.
There has been incidences where my own club has had such a massive matter before the Tribunal heard. I remember the Carman incident on Carbery vaguely. Got 4 weeks for hitting Sidebottom (was arguably worth probably 1) and 12 weeks for the headbutt on Carbery. Did we take it to court? No. Carman was a better player than Buddy now is. We lumped it and despite the early time of the incident, it affected us making the finals, which could have so easily done in 1980.

This was just the final nail in the coffin for me. I've hated the way the game has been heading for the last few years (due to ridiculous, knee jerk rule changes) and this has just tipped me over the edge. If it was any other player i'd be saying the same thing, it has nothing to do with buddy.
Re: Buddy gets two!
If he raised his elbow he'd have gotten 4-6 weeks.
Please, do us all a favour, look at the incident and post a picture/clip of where he raised his elbow prior to contact.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
Correct I have not, but I have been a supporter of AFL since I was a youngster. I wish the AFL was like it was in the 80s and as hard as it was in the 90s but it is not. Rules have been put in place and teams have constantly been hurt from these rules and these suspensions. Because it is round 21 and Buddy will miss the last round, potentially miss putting the hawks in the finals and then also miss the first round of the finals means nothing. The rules do not changed and they do not change no matter what round of the season they are in. It would have been a suspension in round 1, it should STILL be a suspension in round 21.
The game is dead I tells ya. DEAD!
Buddy should be allowed to shoulder someone in the head and knock him out. It's part of the game!
Jordan Lewis should be able to throw his gut punches weekly and have nothing to worry about because IT. IS. PART. OF. THE. GAME.!
Hodgey should be able to eye gouge, trip and charge people willy nilly because it shows toughness and that's what our game is all about!
The game has gone soft. This decision is the worst ever even though the rules are quite clear and simpletons should be able to understand.
As a gesture to all you Hawks fans I am ripping up my Essendon membership and will not be attending the game.

Huh. I guess Rance will be giving up his next two games for the punch to Buddy's head on Saturday night then, hey?

Round 1 Started on the 26th March, yet a rule was changed after the start of the season.
So far you are 0-2

Re: Buddy gets two!
Take your Richmond goggles off and look at the incident again.
For a neutral supporter, it was a fair bump and Buddy was stiff to get rubbed out.
For a Hawthorn supporter, its sook and whinge, cos its bloody murder.
For an Essendon and Richmond or even Geelong supporter, its rules are rules, Buddy deserves it, deal with it.
That has nothing to do with this thread, pretty much red cardable. Grow up
You raise your elbow in a hip and shoulder and it collects someones head it is a suspension. Deal with it

We should all go to AFL hq and burn them down to the ground.
It's time demetriou was taught a lesson.
LEAVE NONE ALIVE!
Yup. I can see how acts of arson and murder would make them reverse their decision.
But it wasn't a legal bump. If it was, he'd be clear to play this weekend.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
Oh, and you mentioned 'the rules' again... it goes to prove that the rules as they stand are plain WRONG! I don't want the game to go back to the 80's or 90's, but it needs to be adjudicated with common sense. Blind Freddy could see it wasn't malicious... the fact that it's created so much debate as to whether he's guilty or not guilty probably grants him the benefit of the doubt.
Crap. If Cousins gets up and runs away from the incident, Buddy has no case to answer. It's a complete knee-jerk reaction to the concussion. I will put money on it that there are a dozen more solid bumps than that, head high or otherwise per match, that go unnoticed because the 'victim' isn't injured. The injury should have no bearing on the investigation... but it seems that it is all that the MRP looks at.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
No conclusive evidence that such a hit happened. Not even on the video.

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
He is 50/50 about missing the round 22 match. He had a massive red mark on his head. If that is no case to answer to well I am wrong. But lets face it, you are completely wrong, the MRP agrees you are wrong and Buddy is suspended. Hawks fans, Carlton fans, whatever fans can cry about it as much as they want but he is still suspended and you are wrong.

OK guys, please watch it and freeze it 1:44! Perfect position, elbow tucked in, feet planted. Why did he hit cousins in the head? Watch cousins fumble the ball then lean his head in the direction the ball went. Cousins contributed to getting hit in the head with Buddys upper arm/shoulder, if he had not fumbled the ball he probably would of avoided the bump all together. The circumstances in the head contact were not planned or malicious, i'd call incidental

Re: Afl disgrace-time to go demetriou
I'd like to see the reverse argument if it were a Richmond player on the rough end of the stick.
Again, you're turning to the injury rather than what actually happened. If Cuz wasn't injured, there'd be no case to answer... say he was struck in the cheekbone for instance, was knocked down but not concussed, got up and played the game out unaffected... contact is still high, same force, same everything, but the injury isn't there. Buddy gets off... simple. It's supporters like you that claim the AFL is 'right' in doing what it's doing to the game, that support it's cause.

Buddy too tall for cous.Not a spitefull bump.no elbow.Football has changed from a contact game to tackling only game.The player who decides to bump will now risk being reported every time.

Hope he contests and gets another week.
This barbaric and passe behaviour is not tolerated in Aussie Rules at any level. And let's face it - Buddy has been treading water his entire career with these kinds of incidents.
A great day for AFL.

Sorry to steal this pic from the other thread.
Point of impact!! Picture says enough really......perfect hit
It's not conclusive. If anything it shows Buddy's shoulder about to his chin.
