Ian 'Nutta' Callinan

I guess you are right Constance it's all history now , yeah you must be right Big PhiL may be it was deferred because of the celebrations but i would still be interested to find out when he was actually cited cheers ????

I'm glad he got off it was a great bump, but I think if it was Jeremy Clayton he would have got life. Earlier in the season I think he got 3 matches for a similar bump. And the North player wasn't even injured.

Whilst it is sad that Simon Phillips suffered a bad injury from it, I am glad that the right decision was made re the report. It was a very solid bump but there was certainly nothing illegal in the action. Pleasingly, most Norwood supporters acknowledged this and displayed a very fair attitude towards it. I just hope that that one certain Norwood supporter will stop referring to Wingnut as a sniper. He is definitely a fair player and a ball player.
Cheers

To be honest I think he would only have been sited because of the high contact and the resulting broken jaw. It is part of the game and the fact that he got off is the reason I have made a personal decision to go and watch more SANFL games next year. I think it had to be looked at but the right decision was made, he got off so there really is no big deal is there?

Geez, that's almost an admission you were wrong.

I haven't commented on it before now. A few points

- It's hardly anyone from Norwood or our supporters fault he had to face the tribunal or how long it took to be heard. I guess you just blame the SANFL.

- In my opinion Callinan obviously knew what he was doing and picked his target, nothing wrong with that and taking the opportunity as it comes up. I don’t mind it at SANFL league level but not so much at junior levels. A matter of opinion.

- It was a great bump and its gloves off in a Grand Final and I wish one of my players had done it to Callinan.

- I do believe that if Phillips had stayed out there we would have won which is why it was such a good bump.

- From a purely technical point of view forgetting it was a Grand Final and the players involved I believe it was reportable and he is lucky to get off. That’s a matter of opinion and I don't always agree with the tribunal.

- I won't be losing any sleep over it.

I agree with what the majority have written. Just not sure Fester and go legs will ever be able to recover from the decision.
Topsy, I don't think it's worthwhile highlighting macca's "incident" again.

Just a clip for people saying AFL is soft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW-x90N4ZBw

how many weeks did the W.Bulldogs player get.

None. Not even cited I think?

Very different situation, but yeah that was a big collision .. To Lewis credit too, he later returned to the field.

Not saying it was the same situation. I'm saying the AFL isn't soft.

Here's a quote from the MRP findings:

Contact between the Western Bulldogs’ Jarrod Harbrow and Hawthorn’s Jordan Lewis from the second quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The panel said that both Harbrow and Lewis had their eyes on the ball at all times in the lead-up to contact being made. Harbrow spoiled the ball before contact was made with Lewis. His actions were deemed a legitimate attempt to spoil the ball. No further action was taken.

Yeah I know, I was saying it was different lol

If I remember rightly Big Phil, and I'm pretty certain of this, the Macca incident in 97 prelim wasn't behind the play!

And as it turned out the great mans suspension from that was turned into a positive, and we were vulnerable taking two ageing champions into the game, instead we only had to take one (Andrew Jarman) and Brett James came in as a replacement.

I couldn't care less if the Wingnut was suspended or otherwise, looking forward to when he returns to the Parade sometime next year!

[Dogwatcher]

It's yet another excuse for some Centrals supporters to parade their well worn persecution complexes. Get over yourselves.

What a load of tripe. Get over yourself.

Behind the play, depending where you're standing. Off the ball, punch to the face. But definitely not 100 metres behind the play, like when he knocked out Brendan Sickerdick.

I actually think, some bumps should be ruled out. If sheperding, it should be just with your hands out or a bump to the side, no frontal contact (if the player doesn't have the ball).

I understand that's the way footy is heading and with some things Im still stuck in a different era, but I'd prefer to keep shepherd-bumps in the game .. The more we enable players to drop their awareness levels of what's around them, the more it will continue to change the game imho.

Who sits on the tribunal these days? Is Woite still the Tribunal Commissioner?

the man referencing a 13 year old incident is giving the advice "to get over it". Interesting.

Personally I think Callinans bump is the best I have seen since Paul McCormack's on Roger Delaney in the 90s, which I have always considered the best bump I have ever seen. From memory McCormack broke Delaneys jaw as well. Delaney needed to wear head gear on his return to football.

Apache Buldog posts a lot of factually incorrect paranoid nonsense and yet my post is tripe?

I'm comfortable with how over myself I am DW. Maybe you could try too.

I love how some Dogs supporters have turned Phillips' broken jaw into a witch hunt aginst them. Hilarious. (Correct decision by the tribunal BTW)
