MRP / Trib. Isaac Heeney - High contact on Jimmy Webster

[Maddo11]

I can't see how Heeney gets off. I can see how the umpires won't be giving him Brownlow votes for the rest of the year though.

Probably doesn't have any for the last month either. Hot start but Gulden and Warner caught up with him.

 

[The King!]

Don’t care if he gets off or not we all know the AFL help Sydney.

I’m furious though umpires allowed it and they kicked a goal. Borderline cheating.

lol

 

[The King!]

He turned around and some idiot is grabbing him 40 metres off the ball, so maybe he gets off on that, but it's the afl
who knows

He isn't winning the brownlow either way, so that's not a factor

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Shouldn’t get suspended, clearly accidental

But it’s the AFL so who knows

-playing grand finals in victoria when we finish top
-getting trade banned and having cola stripped off us because Fitzpatrick had a tantrum for Franklin not going to GWS.
-2016 Grand Final umpiring.
-Goodes being driven out of the game.

Yeah, 'looked after.' Meanwhile lovable losers Stkilda getting funnelled millions by the AFL to exist for general incompetence.

Heeney Blakey Mills etc etc

Give us those blokes and extra salary cap the AFL could keep the coin they dish out as compensation for the shot we cop.

Can see it already, "insufficient intent/impact to constitute a reportable offence".

Lol, what? It'll be graded. Spin the wheel as to how though.

supports him escaping a suspension

 

[btdg]

Surely this gets dismissed? From what i can see the guy was behind him, it was unintentional, no injury caused. Nothing in this one at all...

 

[DEECEE]

Lol Brownlow favourite from the afl pets. No case to answer.

He’s not winning the Brownlow anyway. Almost hope gets rubbed out just so we don’t have to hear the crying.

Jy Simpkin supports him escaping a suspension

He probably doesn't actually as they play Sydney next week

 

[DocSholl]

I assume the AFL will have much better footage because you can't really tell anything from the video in the OP

 

[Andronicus]

The AFL are desperate for their cash cow franchise to play finals. Will be a bit of a conundrum. He is one of the many free hits given to them, but finals are guaranteed so they may save face a little by suspending.

He accidently swung his arm back? I'm sure he didn't mean to hit him in the head, but it was his choice to throw his arm back, so will have to face the music.

 

[TheWeapon]

They will make up some BS excuse for him like Cripps got when he won the Brownlow a few years back after pile driving a bloke in the head. Complete bush league

Blood just started miraculously pouring out of Webster's nose? Strange coincidence.

 

[kanga75779699]

Is it actually off the ball when he was on the lead and the the ball was kicked to him?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

AFL tried their best to suspend Cripps. Some hot shot lawyer found a legal loophole that got him off in the end but had to go through every stage of the tribunal and appeal system to get there.

I think Heeney will get off as it's a far less impactful hit than Cripps on Ah Chee

 

[kanga75779699]

Barry Hall got off back in the day for giving a guy a smack in the Prelim Final. 50 metres away from play. Guess what? It was deemed not behind play. Can’t have crowd pullers being rubbed out can you.

 

[ashep]

Will be good to go.

Webster slipped and was sniffing Heeney's arse who wasn't even looking at him.

Imagine thinking that constitutes high contact lmao.

 

[Elixuh]

If Butters can deck multiple people every week and continually get fines, I think Heeney should be fine. Was an accident.

Yes that was beautifully orchestrated by the AFL, everyone was fooled thinking that it was the lawyer that got Cripps off. Lawyer got the credit in most people's eyes so I'm sure they were happy to participate in the charade

He only gets the separation because he whacked Webster.

Butters is smart enough not to get them in the head.
