Bets on this being the topic of the week...?

Sorry but I don't see Lynchie's as deliberate as Big Lands. Whether or not is was deliberate (and Lynch says it wasn't) it certainly did not look as vicious or as deliberate.

Very surprised about Whitey getting a week for the love tap to Lokan but then Lokan does have Eddie on his side!

Lucy the viciousness or whether its deliberate should only be used when determining the number of weeks the fact that he did the crime means he should have got some time

How can White get a week and Lynch get off! Maybe they got their verdicts mixed up.

But Lucy, you probably also thought Jono Browns two weeks being harsh...

I honestly thought Lynch deserved a week at least for recklessness (going from the other judgements of the weekend) and White had to get a week after having previous form for kicking. Repeat offender, he got the absolute minimum sentance...

Crawf, fair call, Campbell Brown fair ball, Biglands 4 weeks? Maybe 2 too many for an ill-timed fend off...

Nope I think Brown's 2 weeks was fair and well worth to might I add. Just a shame Scotty Burns didn't get the same verdict at the time.

Forgot about that. 1 week is fair enough then.

LL 1. - Unless Crawford has eyes in the back of his head (and maybe he does) he never looked at the ball once.

The replay that I saw, I'd say he did. However, it was a bit reckless and hence a week. Although if he appeals he may have a chance.

LL 2. - Sorry but I don't see Lynchie's as deliberate ...
as jsa stated, it does not matter. I have seen all the replays, (should have taped them) but was Lynchys a bit of "round arm" action or was his arm straight?
Either way he and Brissy should consider themselves kissed ..... by a fairy.

Hawka, From all the replays I've seen, his arm was straight. Nothing like Cloke who came around with a roundhouse punch from behind. But no doubt Collingwood supporters will see him as having delivered a 'Rocca Elbow'.

Lucy, Bottom line is he belted a bloke whether accidental or not and should have got games.

Hawka, crawford has been living dangerously for a long time, cant blame taggers this week, as cornes is not your typical tagger, i think crawford was frustrated by his sides crap performance coupled with the fact he's a complete tosser

Has anyone heard Hird's (oops repeating myself) fate as yet?

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Thursday, 15 April 2004 03:31 (twenty years ago) link

jsa, I think most of the hawks were frustrated. Having a look at what they did to Sam Mitchell, I am not surprised that some of the hawks attacked the ball callously and hence a couple of them get rubbed out. So be it. What happed to those guys looked at for incidents agains Sam Mitchell? I last heard the incidents were being viewed by the video ref.

BTW I wouldn't rate Crawf as a "complete" tosser ;)

I can't remember the last time the appeals board has overturned so many decisions. A happy hawka though.

― Hawka (hawka), Thursday, 15 April 2004 19:35 (twenty years ago) link

Considering the number of decisions overturned, I think Aaron Hamill has every right to feel hard done by.

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Thursday, 15 April 2004 21:53 (twenty years ago) link

Hawka
Sam Mitchell did the right thing at the tribunal, he basically got primus off with good evidence, good on him, unlike zantuck who put hamill in
