Chris Masten biting allegation

[Belnakor]

as per the umpiring that day, no free kick for Suban even though the guy just bit him.

If there is no vision - then Masten is as innocent as Essendon

Entirely not true. If its an allegation and there is no vision, then the AFL may well get statements off the players, umpires, even photos of the teeth marks...Although, doesnt he wear a mouthguard??

 

[WaltzingMatera]

Masten has his mouth guard in so any marks would be bottom row of teeth only, but players don't get up that convinced that something happened without being certain. Suban wouldn't have been so adamant had it just been a scratch or something, his reaction is the most damning thing I think.

Players say a lot of things on a football field.

How do you propose a free kick be paid for an accusation? You realise the umpires need to see the act?

point missed...

Interested to see Freo fans response to this with what evidence there is.

If you're saving up a bite to try and rub someone out Suban would be smart enough to do it to Shuey or someone that the players and fans dislike. I'm sure Masten isn't going to run for mayor of Fremantle any time soon but I don't think he'd be on many Freo fans' lists of most hated Eagles. If you're trying to con a suspension just for the sake of it he'd have gone at Shuey off the ball and made the same accusation.

Not entirely true, you'd have to have someone to antagonize that you know would get into an argy bargy wrestle.

Priddis definitely not.
Shuey maybe but you're more likely to get a few jumper punches out of.
Masten, well he has gotten into a few wrestles this year.

At the end of the day we both can only assume where the bite came from.

Really with accusations of the such, there should be a code of conduct where a photo is then taken that can be presented to the tribunal.

Suban had just wacked him in the face with his forearm, so please stop playing the victim.

Man I dont know who's a bigger piece of shit...dockers or their supporters

You guys won more free kicks yesterday than you average all season.

The only difference was the ill-discipline of your team particular in the first half to keep infringing - something even your coach highlighted

Masten would have had one for striking first. Set shot on goal from a better angle and a better kick of the footy, I'd have taken it over McGinnity from the boundary.

Free kicks were 12-12 after half time, Ross didn't have a problem with it, said you were second to the ball early on, whinge whinge. Completely unrelated issue to the thread.

Also the umpire didn't see it so it's not like he could just give a free kick because "a player said so"

I also wonder if the umpire actually made a note of it and is the one who put forward to have the incident investigated or was it media driven due to it being heard over the mic?

 

[Tbonefreo]

Hoepfully hes not like Tommy Lee and uses clean needles

 

[MIKE85]

Umpire didn't really look like he cared when Suban had a cry to him, had he seen teeth marks or blood, he would have reacted different. Seemed like he just told him to piss off and stop sooking.

Umpire should have made a note of it, I believe they are required for in these instances.

This.. You'd definitely hope so with such an accusation.
Especially if you saw the marks and were an officiate.

There needs to be a code of conduct for such accusations and things similar.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Wow biting.. the guy is scum.

No the scum is Suban the initiator.
He came into this match wanting to start biff all game.

 

[JUBJUB]

This Nick Suban?

Is he dentist when not playing footy ?
Perhaps he was checking Mr Knees teeth

Few minutes left in a loss? Yeah better start a fight with Mark Hutchings, the leagues most vanilla, most inoffensive player. Scumbag.

To Masten:

"Bite down on here for 5 seconds, then rinse and spit"

Strange post. Players wrestle every game. Its not every day that a player responds by allegedly biting a bloke.
Even if Subes had whacked him, do you think that justifies a bite?...

 

[DieSwans]

Subans is that bloke who pushes someone around like a bully and then runs off to mummy when he gets put back in his place.

Complete coward of a bloke.

Defending biting?

Eagles fans are pathetic.

Ok, so by eagle fan logic, we don't know what Masten did or said to Suban so Suban could have retaliated by wrestling then Masten bit him.
Am I doing it right?

Take it when Suarez chomped on all those blokes in the soccer it was the fault of players he bit?
