Murphy comes out looking like the bully getting his comeuppance in the playground....who doesn't like that story.I feel like it’s the definition of the phrase: “Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes”
Is Caminiti a bit unlucky that the bump/strike/whatever it was slipped high and hit an opponent who is more susceptible to concussion than the average afl player? Yes.
Should any of those circumstances affect the number of weeks he is suspended? No.
He chose to strike, he has to wear the consequences. You don’t get suspended if you don’t initiate contact.
Murphy comes out of this looking like a bit of a tool, but it’s inconsequential to what penalty Caminiti should receive
Disagree. Off the ball so automatically intentional.
This should be 8 weeks. Sickening stuff.
An 8 week suspension would be more than the suspension Hall got for his hit on Staker and the same as the suspension Gaff got for his hit on Brayshaw.
This incident wasn't anywhere near as bad as either of them, even a 4 week suspension would be harsh, 2 or 3 weeks would be a much fairer outcome.
Even Nathan Buckley said a 2 week suspension would be a fair outcome and he's a Collingwood person so you can't accuse him of biased towards St Kilda.
We have to protect the head and punish dog coward king hits which concuss victims.
4 weeks for the punch and another 4 for the punch causing a concussion.
This wasn't a dog coward king hit though, that was the Hall hit on Staker, this is not even in the same ballpark as that incident

No, that's wrong. They're deterring intentionally hitting someone in the head and concussing them.The afl does hence the 4+ week suspension
So Murphy 4, and Cameneti 8?We have to protect the head and punish dog coward king hits which concuss victims.
4 weeks for the punch and another 4 for the punch causing a concussion.
Nah, give him 4 plus. Would be worth it just for the melts from the intellectually challenged, knuckle dragging neanderthals in here.Your loss was 2 days ago now, 2010 was 13 years ago, time to stop melting and focus on the next round. Why let a bad tenant live in your head rent free?
For the record I agree that Caminiti most likely didn't intend to hit him high, but rules are rules and he will learn to aim lower and more carefully with any future retaliation. Worth 2 weeks off for mine, I imagine that the tribunal will be more harsh than that but who knows.
So Murphy 4, and Cameneti 8?
I actually agree with this. If the AFL are fair dinkum about head injuries, they need to start with deterrents like this.
You can give him a week if you likeHas Murphy (or Pie fans) accepted the consequences of electing to hit the young Saint?
To be fair I don’t think he has said a good word about us this year!Even one of the Pie's favourite sons thinks this is all a bit over the top. So much for Pies fans thinking everyone who disagreed with them are braindead, hateful bogans.
Sure, but I think that bolded part can apply equally to Murphy's actions.I feel like it’s the definition of the phrase: “Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes”

And he is a brain-dead bogan too.To be fair I don’t think he has said a good word about us this year!
You really should refrain from referring to your fellow fans in such a nasty manner.Nah, give him 4 plus. Would be worth it just for the melts from the intellectually challenged, knuckle dragging neanderthals in here.
The strike didn't just slip up, he followed through upwardsI feel like it’s the definition of the phrase: “Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes”

For all the s**t canning St Kilda fans have given Murphy, it seems like some might show some appreciation his way for providing the saints with a victim statement.
Would only be doing that to help out Caminiti you’d think.
