Autopsy Round 13, 2023 : Hawthorn mauls Brisbane

[Bugs1977]

Jay Z saying if referred to the tribunal, it's minimum 3.

If they out him for 3-4 then all they'll be doing is ensuring that we get a chance at drafting the Wizard. F**k em all.

 

[Mojo]

Jon Ralph just said with a straight face, that he thinks Sicily should get 3+ weeks at the tribunal!!

They're using the penalty matrix as the method of working it out. I don't think it's bias.

He didn’t say it like Sicily “should” get three weeks, more that he expects it’s what he will get. If anything, he gave the impression he thinks Sicily was unlucky.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

If it goes to the tribunal, it doesn’t mean automatic 3
It means that they can’t define it within the MRO guidelines

To be honest I think this is where most people are at. The expectation is that Sicily gets done, not because he should, but because that's what has been happening all year.

Makes sense when you consider the various taxes.

+1 week because McCluggage got knocked out.
+1 week because Sicily plays for Hawthorn.
+1 week because Sicily is Sicily.

Hawks need to back their Captain & appeal if Sicily gets week/s…..flipping joke

Hawks need to back their Captain & appeal if Sicily gets week/s…..*ing joke

Fortunately, I reckon there's a few ways Hawthorn can argue this.

Brocky being there and making contact with McCluggage and also impeding his view of him. Both arms of McCluggage were free. Best outcome we can hope for is a week.

Good god man, I don’t give a toss who is in the side if we are winning flags. It’s takes all types

Fair enough I still cant believe the fact that Richmond carried that spud Jason Castagna to 2* flags and I want us to be
Better than that. Also I had a skinful yesterday at a BBQ in an unusual summers day in England!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sicily headed straight to the tribunal.

Dylan Moore giving the pundits a mighty smack on the Footy Show

What did he say, or where can I find the footage?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

The game is becoming a joke if that’s 3+ weeks

 

[Jet_black]

Sounds like a hand pass from the MRO.

Might be a chance to get off if we can argue it wasn’t necessarily Sicily’s tackle that caused the damage!

 

[Siri]

Can we organise for competent counsel & sound arguments for once? Perhaps even do some homework before we go in?

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Baz_hawk]

Sicily getting weeks is bad for the game. Lunging tackle with no malicious intent, just an unlucky football incident. If we are gonna start punishing outcome then the game is cooked.

 

[JoeHawk]

3 weeks Sicily. WTF was he actually supposed to do?? Hawks must strongly appeal this. Absolute flipping joke.

Edit: Ch 7 news claimed he has 3 weeks but AFL website says it’s going to tribunal

[madhawksfan]

What a ****ing joke this sport has become. Sent to the tribunal for tackling.

Outcome was unfortunate but not foreseeable when he basically pulled him straight downwards. If that was the Bont, Daicos or Dangerfield it wouldn’t even be looked at.

Club must appeal and use whatever lawyer Geelong use.

 

[TylerDurden]

Man the AFL have us in their cross hairs.

We are Public Enemy number 1.

Then they fight you....

 

[Bugs1977]

Sicily headed straight to the tribunal.

Any suspension for Sicily is a farce. I've said this before but I'll say it again - I love Hawthorn. I still will cough up the cash for the membership and follow them passionately. But I ****ing loathe the AFL and the state of the game.

So, with that said - how do we collectively punish the AFL for this? What's the best way to show that allowing players undertaking legal tackles in the spirit of the game (and remember, the spirit of the game lies it's competitive, physical nature) to be suspended is completely unacceptable?
If they really, truly don't want players to be tackled to the ground at all (and that's effectively where we're heading), then they need to change the holding the ball rules. I'm not for that, obviously, but maintaining the current rules and the time a player has to dispose of it actively encourages tackling players to do all they can to impede the opposition from freeing themselves to dispose of the ball.

Christ I hate this league. I love Hawthorn (and by extension the rest of the clubs), but I hate this league.

 

[JoeHawk]

So, you practically can’t/shouldn’t bump anymore. A strong tackle can result in a suspension if a player goes to ground and bump their head. Next, you won’t be able to take a specky incase you knee a player in the head. The great game is in serious trouble.

Gaelic football anyone?

Jonathan Simpkin won a flag with us.
