Even as a mate of his I think that is slightly on the low side. I believe he has a really good record so they obviously took that into account but the footage looked pretty damming.

They don’t care about previous history anymore.

Was a low impact hit.. bloke got up straight after, took his kick and played out the game.

Video might look bad but I suspect it looked worse than it was - I’m still not convinced he actually clocked him in the jaw based on team mates reactions nearby and also his reaction to the red.

See personally I would be suspending the action.

Whilst he didn’t do to much damage that action itself could do devastating damage and the player throwing a punch doesn’t have total control over it.

Completely non football related violent act, I’m happy the league went ridiculously harsh on it. No place in sport for ‘belting’ someone, regardless if on this occasion the player copped it well.

That is type of act the league has to have no tolerance to and completely stamp out. For mine the area that gets blurred is the dangerous tackle stuff but at least a tackle is part of football

My understanding is that strictly speaking history doesn't come into it albeit I think for the very serious offences (ones that border on instant de-registration) there's at least a subconscious element taken into **** which isn't unreasonable.

It's a fine line between leading to possibly unfair results on an individual basis against a broader unfairness that could lie in perceived inconsistency for like offences.

If you're really getting into the weeds it would be nice to distinguish between a "football" incident which, albeit unlawful, happens in a game of football where you might take an unblemished record into account as opposed to a "non-football" incident such as belting a bloke not in play where I would be more inclined to throw the book at them without any other regards. Makes it tough with shades of grey though.

Now you sound like the AFL commentators.

Very impressive jo172 even if I'm not sure I quite understand all of it. Try writing that again when you are 5 or 6 beers in on the Payneham balcony!!!

Try reading it again when you are 5 or 6 beers deep - equally as challenging.

It's much the same except you need a Rosetta stone of Cooper's dark ales to really decipher it.

Shout out and congrats to Kym Rasheed playing his 450th tomorrow at Fitzroy.

Yep, well done Rash. 250 of those at Rosewater, zero handballs.

So who wins the Lockleys v Kenilworth blockbuster?


For me Kenilworth by 23

There are some doubters out there as we have some notable omissions. I’m really looking forward to seeing how our blokes go - Pressure creates diamonds as a person on here says. Ball looks like spending a fair bit of time on the deck tomorrow with the wind. Everything to gain tomorrow for our boys and we need to win.

I see Wilson King and Krakour out, I change my tip

There is more than that but I’ll still back us in to give it a red hot shake.

Kenilworth by 4 points. Pulled it from the fire and looked dead 3/4 time kicking in to the wind.

Lockleys premiership shirts and hat order currently on hold.

Game was a bloody good standard. I thought we were dead at 3/4 time and was likely to lose by 6-7 goals. What our boys showed in the last was all about how far they have come this year and was all heart. Outstanding effort from such a young side. These results don’t mean much until you win finals but it’s hard not to admire the effort shown today.

Flag is up for grabs, even though PFC knocked you off i thought you were a better side than Lockleys that smashed PFC.
All the best.

CLG over Fitzroy in an ordinary game. Odd oval and horrible swirling wind
