Luke Hodge caught drink driving - $5000 fine, free to play.

[tige19]

How dare he do the right thing. I get it, people make mistakes, but criticising someone for not making mistakes? C'mon, is defending your club really worth that kind of nonsense?

Don't be sorry, just go away.

Yes, so shut up

Heaven forbid I should defend my proud club against BS accusations.

What's the world coming to?

BTW, the off-topic admission was a reference to tige9 taking it off topic first, but obviously too subtle for a few people here.

And the extra days rest that you didn't earn.

Now the AFL control its arch-rival the NRL.

I've heard some swivel-eyed conspiracy in my day but...

And even if your whacko theory had any substance, which it doesn't, what on earth do stadium bookings have to do with COLA?

Best stick to defending your Top Bloke "I wasn't actually drink driving, I was just drink driving" captain pal.

8 weeks suspension?

I would think at least 2 weeks for Hodge is suitable.

No he didn't miss a game.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Right on cue - you never fail to deliver with your bay 13 crap.

Pfffttt! Bay 13? I don't post on Bay 13 But 'Mission Accomplished' for upsetting your apple cart

Move on mate... You're way off topic. If you want to discuss the mighty "bloods" spirit go back to the swine board

Check your facts mate before you look like an idiot! http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/johnson-speed-penalty/story-e6frg1wu-1111115373093

Got basically nothing! He got the 8 weeks when he was pissing his career against the wall and couldn't get a game for the seniors and was almost traded to the Pies except they thought he was too much of a head case! (If you really want to look at the facts!) Once he won a norm smith medal, do whatever you want!

And by the way, I think it was extremely silly what Hodgy did but a suspension punishes his team mates and the fans, not to mention that the Law of the land didn't even see the incident bad enough to suspend him from driving!

So what punishment would fit such a poor error of judgement? I would take the Captaincy from him! And when you consider there is a small chance that the Hawks could win the flag this year, thats a very big punishment for him personally as he is a 1 in 8 chance to be holding up the premiership cup!

Done. Point stands. If you think he is pompous for stating that he does the right thing, bully for you.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Well aren't you just the pompous legend... Good on you for being responsible! that's the positive in what seems like an otherwise boring group of circle jerking losers.

LOL.... Pretending to be a vigilante for the justice of mankind will never hide Hawthorn Envy.

Oh my god this is getting truly desperate.

Taking someone's life whilst driving drunk is arguably a bigger punishment.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

The first 2 premises are not mutually exclusive of your conclusion.....As your post amply demonstrates.

Defending drink driving. Congrats!

 

[VFL13]

Hodge is scum. On and off the field and all the evidence is there.

 

[kozi]

I can't believe this has reached 72 pages......... Some people really need a life in the worst possible way

Yeah we should "get a life" by getting pissed and driving.

Nah mate he's a Hero the little girl at the Grand Final told us so.

And Tex Walker is a whingeing, whining girls-dick.

Only Hodge would get 1800 posts in half a day.

Do you feel the same way about Jaensch?

Your right! Thank god he didn't kill anyone! So lets just deal with the facts! He's an idiot for doing this! Law has handled it. Hawks should give him something but a suspension seems way over the top! Hence why I would think losing the captaincy is the perfect club punishment!

(Nice side step of you not knowing your facts by the way. Would have thought 78kmh OVER THE SPEED LIMIT is way worse then .068 (which is legal in many countries))

Basic reading skills not your strong suite I see.

I'll try one last time. If you want us to hang on your every perfectly-formed gem of wisdom, (really, do go on! It's been most enlightening) DON'T start bringing irrelevancies like COLA into a thread about Luke Hodge drink driving.

i really dont buy into the being x amount over the legal limit = travelling at y km/h. Drunk drivers usually make lateral movemements across lanes and sometimes crosses over putting other drivers at risk at swerving into a pole ditch etc to avoid them.

Nope, Goodsey still does it better.

Just off the field. In the field he isnt a cheap shot knob like hodge

It's funny how Hawks fans can justify him nearly paralysing Wingard and going DUI because no one got hurt.

Pretty sure you can do 200kmh on the Autobahn, using your logic here.
