No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 3

If Hawkins doesn’t get at least a week the AFL should just stop reporting blokes and give up

To quote DogsrUs comments on Rioli:

"He'll be sweet. Tell him to put on a suit, plead guilty, apologise, look remorseful, accept the fine, and smirk on the way out."

Contact with the head / intentional / moderate impact. Ought to be 3-4 weeks but the head isn't THAT sacrosanct any more (just ask Bont).

Surely has to be 1-2 weeks though.

I didn't watch the game live, but to me the replay looks as though it's a forearm to the neck/shoulder. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a fine or 1 week tops

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Hawkins won’t get anything other than a fine.

Anyone thinking otherwise is misguided.

edit: appears I was misguided - very happy with this outcome.

1 week ban for Hawkins. Perhaps lucky he got away with low rather than moderate impact.

 

[NBates]

One match ban - amazing.

Was always expecting them to go for the low side but that really should be moderate impact. Sure Schofield played out the game but he was not in a good way after the incident.

Generally don’t mind Hawkins. Seems like a decent guy, seems to do some really dumb things on the field every now and then.

Should’ve been two imo but at least the AFL has a tiny amount of credibility to give him a week.

Wow... anything to help keep Richmond in... Why doesn't the AFL just give 'em the cup now?

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Can't wait audacious QC led defence that Geelong are going to try to muster up. Arm went out to stabilise his balance and Schofield's head happened to be in the way?

 

[Freshwater]

I had the sound down. Did he go with the one two sucker punch of mentioning "Micky Turners Geelong Falcons Football Factory?"

There’s a reason it’s a ‘footy factory’. Their area covers about 5-6 leagues. And it used to cover more. Where as the WeaternnJets cover about 1 and a half.

Can confirm he's not such a "decent guy". Won't go into detail

Kidding, right? He is lucky he was offered 1 and not more

Are there any fans more obnoxious than Geelong's?

Richmond

Essendon. And GWS (all 2 of 'em)

 

[DognBones]

Hoping for some Greene karma tonight.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

At it again already! But Zorko gets a free unlike Bont

 

[gimp!]

Already paid a high free kick after a GWS player tried to scrag. Got gonna fly tonight.

 

[NBates]

What a joke. Don't worry about Richmond winning the flag - GWS are shoo ins

 

[NBates]

All of a sudden the head's sacrosanct again - according to Ding-A-Ling. Didn't any of these blokes see last week's incident?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Contact to the face will always earn a free kick - really Lingy?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Love the sign, Justice for Toby - WTF???

 

[NBates]

Greene pushes the Brisbane guy in the face while he's on the ground & GWS get the free?

 

[DognBones]

What is this - a GWS benefit match?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I might have to switch off...
