Yes it did happen 100m off the ball but it was the hillside player that ran at the CB player & as soon as they collided the hillside player dropped & the CB player was rubbing his head. Didn't see no punches thrown & it defantly wasn't a king hit from behind as hillside are saying it was !!

Sounds like your the one & only witness that lied through their teeth at the tribunal that made him cop the 10 weeks !!

So if it's a lie then how did he cop ten weeks?
Perhaps you were the one who didn't see correctly, seeing as you're the only person who's said it was a 'head clash' ?
Big accusation calling someone you don't know a liar
In my opinion he's lucky to only get ten weeks.

Because I know for a fact hillsides assistant coach was the only one who went as a witness & said it was a King hit from behind. CB had their seniors coach who acted as advocate & witness & also happens to be an officer of the law. They took hillsides side of the story over CBs so in my eyes the tribunal already had their minds made up before the hearing. I also know that an official from the EDFL was their & seen the incident & wrote a letter to the investigation committee stating it wasn't a King hit from behind after he found out that the player had copped a 10 week ban but they've said it's too late to appeal & the suspension still stands

Exactly !! And now a players reputation is tarnished because of blatant lies. Hillside should be heavily fined for giving false & misleading information at an investigation now that the EDFL have been told by one of their own officials, exactly what happened !!

I love when blokes state "I know for a fact".
Well I know also that the offender in question has told plenty of none playing mates from a previous club that he hit him with his hand and busted his jaw! Maybe not a king hit in the true sense of a punch but with hands like his a decent strike with the base of the hand would do just as much damage and actually did!
And their senior coach is a nutter when it comes to footy and his other job has no credence at all as he doesn't act or talk like a protector of the people on Saturday's.
And isn't the league investigator a current or former member also? so you couldn't question his integrity could you?

Heyyeah, I will say the Craigieburn player appears to have been given a fair sentence but also agree the player done for kicking should have got a life ban.
There is no excuses for either incident and both are not what we want to see in football games.
I can't believe all these posts as it's totally incorrect. I heard the evidence was very strong, and there were a number of witnesses and it was clearly outside the rules.
Good to you get involved Bllly with writing crap as usual. I made some calls and if your incorrect again. Why don't you ask around on Saturday (seeing your playing Hillside) and speak to the kid and his family. I'm sure they will be happy to meet you.. Your post is utter lies..
For the record, I don't have any issues with Players going in hard and the odd show of strength but these types of incidents should never occur in today's footy..
Hey Willo, wasn't the said player from Craigieburn selected by the senior coach to play in a senior final last year. I heard it wasn't due to his form warranting a senior game, but he was asked to do a task for the coach. I know a number of EDS players were ready for it, as were some parents of some players if anything untoward happened to their family member. I hope I'm not right but I'm not the only one who was aware of this.
Someone told me he was not quick enough to catch any of the EDS players besides EDS #6 and chose not to go near him.
Anyway it's over with now and has the suspension made the player deregistered, as his accumulated over 16 weeks in his total career..
CatnDog, Peter Bugden is a friend in many years of working with him I have NEVER EVER heard him ask a player to hit some one .I am sick to death with all the keyboard warriors who get on here and dribble shit I did not see the incident that is being discussed but from what I understand the hearing was nothing more than window dressing he was convicted before the Tribunal even sat and it was just a formality .If you want to bitch about some thing at least be sure of your facts or easier still just wipe your chin.
As usual you got it wrong he is not at 16 weeks so wipe your chin

Im all for a good hard fought game i was at the game but did not see the incident so no comment from me as Chinese Whispers do no one much good, but casting aspersions and deriding people on an anonymous forum is totally ridiculous and quite tiring, i enjoy reading the comments in regards to football so how bout we get back to business.
Ins and outs for this week and significant injuries anything interesting

He said he had a broken jaw
When asked if they had medical records of it the answer was no
No one should be getting belted on the field 100% but blokes shouldn't be getting shafted either

Unfortunately this sort of incident will always have a he said, she said tone to them. I do wonder about an appeal too though. You'd think there has to be some avenue for the club and player to appeal.

Which chin do I need to wipe?? Lol
Read my post carefully Oldman as I did say "has" it bought him over 16 weeks but maybe I should have proof read it, as I did make a mistake in saying his accumulated over 16 weeks..
Anyway no one is saying the senior coach is part of this particular incident as it happened in the reserves game..
Now as his been proven guilty by a tribunal investigation can I ask is the club standing by him or will they give him his marching orders from the club, as either way the club probably needs to make a stand on these types of incidents.
Also for the record this happened 3 weeks ago, so not sure why it's being bought up again and the actions defended AGAIN on this forum. Don't people have any idea what these types of incidents can lead to.. Don't any of you have families or watch/read the news.. Really some of you need to become brave and make a courageous decision and stop this type of behaviour..
That's its from me, I'm sick of you all defending these types of actions..

Totally think it's unfair that a player with a fairly good record playing football for 23 years gets rubbed out for 10weeks with no X-rays shown, one witness who happens to be the hillside assistant coach tribunal took the word of liars over the truth.. Now the poor blokes sitting on 15weeks can't go and play footy the way he has done for the past 23 years
He's going to have to pull out of contest and not go hard at the ball just in case he accidentally makes high contact and gets rubbed out for a week then has a life ban...
The EDFL had 2 weeks to investigate it and the player didn't even get 1 day to appeal and then had new Evidence from an EDFL person and still they wouldn't take it... Pretty unfair if say

Mate what the hillside people have said at the tribunal was a lie to get a player rubbed out... Of course the club is standing by him...
I was involved at Glenroy when the player in question was at the roys, he was always tough but never crossed the line of too far! He wouldn't need to king hit anyone as he can handle himself well enough as it is, so unless rock hard evidence is available I wouldn't throw him under the bus, I've been to several cragieburn games last year and this year and never heard bugden in any address wish harm upon anyone directly! There was an incident 4-5 years ago in a reserves match between roys and WC and the playing coach from Glenroy was king hit and suffered a broken jaw that was missed by officials and i'm pretty sure that WC suspended the player for the rest of year, I would like to think any club would take the stance of WC as they did in this incident and not accept this type of behaviour and being involved and knowing a lot of people still involved at cragieburn im sure the club wouldn't be defending a player at the tribunal for such a serious offence if it wasn't certain he was wrongly accused or being to harshly punished!
My final word on this as a player years ago I went for a mark and woke up in the rooms with my jaw broken so I have NO tolerance for snipers or any behind play incidents.IF this Hillside players jaw was broken how damning would x-rays or the report have been at the tribunal.The Craigieburn player concerned plays the game hard but the EDFL happily possibly because he is Craigieburn thru him under the bus based on lies and suggestion with no real proof.And by the way I saw the Craigieburn player after the games that day and he had a nice egg in the centre of his head but probably some would say thats nothing it did not just pop up from no where.And no I did not play EDFL or was never a Craigieburn player but I did play all over Australia so what I see with in the EDFL from umpiring thru to there treatment of the Craigieburn football club is interesting to say the least.
