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

[astrowizzle]

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

Zac Merrett says hi

 

[Ironmonger85]

Heeney should try the "good bloke" defense.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Shouldn’t get suspended, clearly accidental

But it’s the AFL so who knows

So was Maynard’s collision with Brayshaw. But the lynch mob on here, including the Carlton and Swans nuffies wanted him hung, drawn, quartered, and then suspended.

So you can hit a bloke in the nose behind play, draw blood , and not be suspended. Talk about opening up a can of legal worms moving forward

Swans supporters wanted peter wright burnt at the stake also for accidently KOing Cunningham, but it's funny when the shoes on the other foot it's all good if its only an accident!

Zac Merrett says hi

for this? Not even close to similar.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

for this? Not even close to similar.

based on that Heeney gets 3 weeks

 

[skipper kelly]

If you take into account Wright only getting 4 weeks, Maynard getting off last year, and Barry Hall from 2005 then surely there is no case to answer.

If they weren’t worried about Cripps and Maynard giving someone a severe concussion they aren’t going to be worried about this.

 

[Belnakor]

Heeney swung his arm under his own shoulders, clearly not expecting to hit the other player in the head. He only did so as the St Kilda player was quite a bit lower down than Heeney expected.

Ah yes the Andrew gaff defence

 

[eth-dog]

If you take into account Wright only getting 4 weeks, Maynard getting off last year, and Barry Hall from 2005 then surely there is no case to answer.

If you take Wright getting suspended then it's clear he gets the same punishment.

 

[Belnakor]

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

That was just a dog and pony show for the gullible public.

The afl retains full discretion of the tribunal results. Everyone on the tribunal is appointed by the AFL. It’s not an independent body. If they wanted to ban him they could have.

 

[Maddo11]

****in called it on page one of the Wright thread, every MRO thread full of Essendon muppets going "HurR iF WrIgHt GoT 4 WeEks". So predictable.

Bonus points for the random Pies fan bringing up Maynard for no apparent reason

- smacks bloke in face” was just frankly silly and has been changed. And before the OP says anything, I would have done the same no matter which club Heeney played for.

My two cents is that I won’t be at all surprised if he misses a week. Doubt he was winning the Brownlow anyway though… he’d have had a huge early lead but polled little since. The downside of having multiple superstars in the one team I guess

 

[projectv]

Don't really think it's worth getting a suspension over.

I was more annoyed that he got an easy mark and goal after doing it, when we had kicked four in a row and were rolling over the top of them in the third quarter.

 

[Underarm]

If they weren’t worried about Cripps and Maynard giving someone a severe concussion they aren’t going to be worried about this.

Both Cripps and Maynard used loopholes that the AFL closed at the end of each year. What loophole do you propose Heeney uses?

Has he ever been suspended before? 190 games is getting pretty close to Good bloke discount right?

i wasnt wrong though.

He did indeed smack a bloke in the face.

 

[theouthouse]

More I watch this the worse it looks.

Willi Rioli copped a few suspensions last year for stray slaps across the face in similar circumstances.

You forgot to divide by Tony Lockett breaking his elbow on Cravens face

 

[Some Idiot]

If Zerk-Thatcher has no case to answer for destroying Naughton's face than I can't see Heeney getting banned for the same thing.

 

[Elixuh]

Best & Fairest? Bloke smashed an opponent in the face. Ineligible

Justice for Simpkin

 

[Elixuh]

If Zerk-Thatcher has no case to answer for destroying Naughton's face than I can't see Heeney getting banned for the same thing.

Zerk didn't get cited so that Heeney can just get a fine. Thats the way this works. FWIW I don't want Heeney suspended unless its for 2 games.

I’ve been very vocal on Maynard being a good bloke, my favourite player I’ve ever met and it isn’t close

We aren’t all nuffies

 

[Belnakor]

The afl will take a look at the Brownlow count thus far and decide which loop hole they want the defence to use.

Vicious nose-butt. Amazed he got off.
