MRP / Trib. Nankervis on Lloyd

[Sinjin Smith]

Very similar to De Goey's so 3 weeks. Though this is the AFL tribunal we are talking about. Get Carlton's lawyers in and he walks a free man, get Hawthorn's in and he gets 6 weeks (how Sicily got 3 Ill never know, stupid verdict).

 

[Toump Ass]

Yep, “cowardly”. Pickett’s attack on Smith was a delayed, calculated action, well after the ball had gone. Smith was defenceless, and he was extremely lucky he wasn’t seriously injured. No credit to Pickett for that.

Have a ****in’ cry my god.

 

[The Nostradamus]

just a 1 weeker for mine

 

[SSSSSS]

If Sicily is 3 it should be 6.

Will be 2.

 

[St 07]

Wow, too scared to bump the shoulder and gets the head because of it. What a cowards act.

 

[MF]

I don't necessarily agree with a send off rule but if ever there was a case for it, this would be it. Lloyds disposal in the d50 was a huge part of our early dominance and his absence cost us big time. Meanwhile Nankervis stays on and has a big impact against the aging Hickey.

Massive turning point in the game.

Might be more to do with the +/-20cm height difference I would think, but yes, I guess there is an argument that Nank was “scared” to bump a shoulder.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Have a *in’ cry my god.

No tears from me old son. I just always enjoy setting your trollish buddy straight.

 

[Mofra]

High, late, high impact.
The exact sort of thing the AFL want to stamp out

 

[THECHIEFTON]

Similar to the Degoey hit. I thought he was lucky to only get 3 weeks.

3 weeks for Nank then.

 

[STPer18]

If Stewart was 4 then it has to be 5 I guess. What a dog.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

If Stewart was 4 then it has to be 5 I guess. What a dog.

Why? How is it worse?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Has to be 4 weeks, or do we only trying to get tackling out of the game?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't think the name Nankervis will be raised at Richmond's selection table for a number of weeks.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

One of the weaker things you will see on the field. The AFL really need to set an example here. Originally I thought 5, but 6-7 is a better fit.

 

[westie]

Should be 4, if Vic media take his side then expect 3.

You've got a problem!

 

[westie]

Nankervis has a habit of this kind of stuff

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Worse than Stewart last year. 5 weeks.

Same as Stewarts I think, same penalty.

 

[smasha]

If Stewart was 4 then it has to be 5 I guess. What a dog.

Less if you are comparing Stewart.

I'm inclined to agree. It shouldn't be like soccer where the sendoff means you are playing with one less on the field, but the infringing player should be out for the game. You should be able to activate your sub if you have a player sent off.

I'm not sure if I am comfortable with the on-field umpire making the call in the moment though. There needs to be a digital tribunal that can make the call before the start of the next quarter.

It is a drastic change to the game but a necessary one in the age of concussion.

If the 2003 grand final was played today, Jonathan Brown would have been subbed off with concussion literally 20 seconds into the game, and Scott Burns would have played the game out.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Less if you are comparing Stewart.

As stated in the game day thread, this was worse than Stewies.
Deserves more.
Deliberately lined him up in an attempt to take him out of the game.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Tom Stewart had absolutely no reason to be anywhere near Prestia though.

As bad as this looks from Nankervis, at least Lloyd had the ball, so Nank would've been going for the tackle.

Lloyd disposed of the ball about a minute before Nankervis got there. It's like the scene from the Austin Powers movie with the steamroller.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

Think you need to watch it again mate.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Think you need to watch it again mate.

I have mate. Really poor form from nank the tank. Deliberate act to gain the upper hand by taking out a key defender.

Yes we know. In fact every Geelong supporter agrees with you. However no neutrals do? Maybe it's because you all share the same brain?

It's your basic 3 week suspension if he showed attrition.
