Hannebery's gotta go

[Smeg Head]

That vision shows he has gone past the ball when he could have got to it first if he did what Hurley did ie make the ball his sole attention. Yep, he is looking at a few weeks rest

Someone doesn't understand the laws of physics then. His momentum will have his body roll that way even as he props to get at the ball.

 

[SuperSub17]

Under the list of offences there is "striking", "tripping", "rough conduct", and then there's "bumping or making forceful contact to an opponent from front-on when that player has his head down over the ball". It's always something they come down hard on.

Negligent, high, high = 400 points, 3 games with an early plea.

 

[blue harvest]

Changed my mind after that vision.
Does appear to be a bumping action rather than bracing for protection.
Depends what the other angles show.

 

[chunkylover53]

Pretty similar to the Hodge v Murphy incident.

Ground ball both players going for it, someone has to come off second best. Hodge didn't get weeks and nor should've he.

Hannebury protected himself but happened to get him squarely in the head, should be interesting. He will get 2 imo.

May be. But you need to understand the current laws of the game. Or at least how they are being interpreted. Hurley took the only legal option in attacking that ball. He can't slide or bump. The other bloke, he took the cowardly option.

He was still doing the right thing, he was going for the ball and using his body to get the ball to his advantage, it wasn't as forceful as Guerra who went well past the ball to snipe.

Without Hannebury using his body like that it's a 50/50 ball and he runs the risk of losing it. It's called winning a contested ball.

 

[teknodeejay]

He shouldn't get any weeks.
Sadly I think he will get some.

Overblown language there, considering Hannebery got hands to the ball and has to be entitles to protect himself. Letting the lingering disappointment of 2012 cloud your view there I think.

 

[Ambrosia]

Don't think he should be suspended. Hannebury attacked the ball in text book fashion.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

The more I see it - the safer DH looks

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

GAWN

 

[vonn]

No.

 

[EBCantona]

He should go for that pathetic attempt at pretending to be hurt.

Didn't know Stevie Wonder was on BF

 

[Plugger35]

Players with their head down over the ball have always been afforded the protection of the umpires, that law is sacrosanct and has never changed.

Hannebery knew Hurley was over the ball yet still decided to hit him front on, he has made a big mistake, it verges on cowardly and cheap, and i know that Hannebery is not that sort of player.

Even in the heat of the 'battle', it is still only a football field and common sense and a duty of care must prevail.

Funny how it's mainly Freo and Hawthorn supporters calling for Hannebury to be suspended for multiple weeks.

It wouldn't be because your teams are battling with Sydney for a top 4 spot now could it? No of course not.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

3 weeks for mine, moves past the ball the a player coming front with his head over the ball. A lot of difference from the Viney incident.

 

[djboonie]

Nothing in it. Hurleys head hit his ribs, not shoulder or hip.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Textbook attack on the footy by Hanneberry. Put your body in between the player and the ball and get lower.

But he'll go because Hurley has left himself completely open.

Whatever champ. Have a look at Hanaberry's eyes just before he makes contact. Guess where Hurley's eyes were.

Moves past the ball...by like 5cms

 

[Admiral Byng]

I reckon he'll get off. Just my prediction.

 

[vonn]

What does he gain from pretending to he hurt? He can't get a free from it.

 

[Tas]

Spin the wheel, could be anything.

Yeah watch it at normal speed, thats bollocks.

 

[The King!]

Ball right under him and he was about to get it

Should be fine, but probably gets 2 because he plays for sydney
