I can't tell if this is serious? If they were to do this, its publically saying Schofield flopped. Yes there is no justics with what Greene got away with but at the end of the day, Hawkins did a stupid thing, and will cop his right whack.

Three weeks without registering a goal, finally finds a bit of form, and then gets duly suspended for a crude and undisciplined act. 
He has let himself, the club and the supporters down here. I can't see how this can be overturned at the tribunal.

Surely hawkins should be sacked for this. We sacked Johnson for misbehaviour and he never got suspended in a final. Hawkins suspension history is far worse then Johnsons.

Some of you would give Dennis Denuto a run for his money.

Argue insufficient force. Schofield testifies he stayed down to try and milk a free. You could also argue down to careless in that it was in play as Hawkins was trying to push back to create a target and Schofield came across in front to impede his run.
It’s the vibe
so what you're saying is, he is a monty to get off.

Precarious position.
We desperately need Hawkins, but there's a real chance the players focus could be severely derailed with the distraction of an appeal that's unlikely to be successful.
Do they play that card?
If they do, and win, it'd be a huge boost to morale.
But if they don't win, it'll plant seeds of doubt.
So do they just leave it alone and move on quickly?

Mate if Schofield had come off for treatment no matter how minor I'd be with you but my gut feeling is he was trying to milk the system and went down like a cheap hooker and Hawks left carrying the can.Three weeks without registering a goal, finally finds a bit of form, and then gets duly suspended for a crude and undisciplined act.

No surprise, AFL barely even tried to get Greene suspended. Clearly there's interest in ensuring GWS are relevant and successful, and that the Cats are not.
Its a free hit, definitely challenge... They wont suspend him for 2 if they lose the appeal.
Tigers fans will be in outrage if he get's off though, would be funny to see their melts if so.

At the tribunal: "its mabo... its the vibe... yeah please just let him off due to the vibe"
Its only a distraction for a day... Monday it would be sorted. Boys are in recovery until then anyway.
Def worth a crack.
To me its the difference between winning or losing, Hawkins playing.

Because the AFL want GWS to succeed, hence why they get away with everything.
Fairness and level playing field isn't something the AFL is interested in, they are a business first and foremost and make decisions based on what's best for the business.

Richmond players laughing about it at the VFL game today.
I’m more angry with Hawkins than the inconsistency tbh, he just never learns.

Logical. If we can get it down from low to negligible it will get him off. Which it was.
It will require schoffield to be very good citizen and come out and help Tom. Which I hope he does..

Yep, corrupt.
Worst part is they know we know they know we know...... But they carry on with it blatantly anyway cos they also know there's sweet all we can do about it.
