You are so full of ********.Just because Ball is stronger than that Eckerman weak ******** doesn't mean it was a worse hit.He lined him up,jumped at him well before contact and made it forcefully to the head.PAFC2004 said:Wasn't as bad as his? Ball played the second half, Eckermann was not right a week later.

PAFC2004 said:Weak? Perhaps you are the one that's full of it. Eckermann has lacerations on the side of his face that were bleeding. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Stenglein lined up Eckermann, and made forceful contact. Stop posting in this thread, you are too much of an idiot.
I think it's harsh considering players like J. Brown can punch a guy in the face, in a GF, after being suspended twice that year already, and get 6 weeks.
Marns said:Take your hand off it PAFC, he jumped at a man 10 meters away from the ball. There was no chance of him jumping for the ball because it was not near the contest, and the fact that Ball couldn't defend himself made it worse.
What can you do when you've got a bloke running and jumping at you with his shoulder bracing for a hit?
94_Eagles said:Stenglien was bracing for impact, Shattock targetted Ball way off the ball.
Completely different circumstances.
PAFC2004 said:Stenglein changed his mind at the last minute and turned towards Eckermann, looking at him. Comparisons aside, 5 weeks is way too harsh.
snakebite01 said:PAFC2004, you have demonstrated so clearly how biased you are.
Last week you are defending the Stenglein verdict and now you are calling this absolutely disgusting. Get some perspective FFS.
Shattock's was worse than Stenglein's. The match review committee got it exactly right and we have finally seen some consistency this year. Shattock made a beeline for Ball, infact the ball was closer to him than Luke Ball was, he could have gone straight to the footy but targeted Ball with a complete disregard for the play. I don't even think the ball would've been within 5 metres when he hit him.
Take your 3 weeks and run.
Stenglein was offered 4.Just 1 less than your Port boy.His was worse as well as he jumped into him.PAFC2004 said:And you aren't biased at all? I agree that what he did was just stupid. I have said that all along. 5 weeks is just ridiculous for an offence like that. I said that stenglein deserved 2, no more.
The tribunal is ridiculously harsh towards many non victorian clubs. Just look at how lucky melbourne have been with the tribunal this year.
PAFC2004 said:Absolutely disgusting. Deserved 2 weeks. Just more proof that certain clubs are targeted by the tribunal.

If he accepts it he will get 3 weeks.PAFC2004 said:See, this is where the problem is. I said 2 weeks was fair. 4 weeks, as originally handed down was way too harsh. As is 5 weeks for shattocks incident.

Well it was consistent.Stenglein got 2 weeks,so Shattock getting 3 is fair.PAFC2004 said:I'm aware of that. But the original penalty is too harsh. Just like stengleins was.
PAFC2004 said:He didn't intend to knock the guy out or anything, he was trying to stop him from reaching Cassisi, who had the ball.

And garth, it was hardly a dog act. He didn't intend to knock the guy out or anything, he was trying to stop him from reaching Cassisi, who had the ball.
