Round 23 : Live scores & discussion.

So who has got games and didnt injure anyone this year? It does have to have some impact to get a suspension
He has no points, at worst he will have to carry points through the finals.
Agree with the posts on Malceski, when are they going to invoke the diving rule with a suspension? Now would be a good time to make an example of someone so we don't get it during the finals.

Well let's hope he milked it enough for buddy to get 1 game.

But you said he was injured. Diver.

[Jimmy_041]

Buddy should get 4!!!
Deliberate shoulder to the head!!!

[the joker]

Hawthorn player tackled
Tries to kick the ball but misses it
Incorrect disposal
THAT IS HOLDING THE F***ING BALL FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the AFL, it a ball up and Hawthorn get a goal - HOW?
Franklin takes it out of the ruck in the 2nd touch, is tackled.......
THAT IS HOLDING THE F***ING BALL FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umpire called play on after the first tap before buddy took the ball again

[The Sleeping Giant]

Carey is comparing apples and oranges. What is Franklin's record like?

because its Hawthorn

that holding the ball rule or incorrect disposal rule has gone missing this year

there is no reward for the tackler

the game has turned to shit

[Q.]

You don't need to injure a player to get games. Buddy clearly made head high contact with the head of Malceski, but how they judge that contact will be the key.

IMO they always take in to account if the player continues the game or is out due to the contact.

You talked about consistency and said he may get 2 so are you saying McKernans and Buddy's cases are the same?

This year the only player to get away with head high contact when intentionally laying a bump was Lindsay Thomas.

I reckon Franklin only gets one game.

Has been done before for an identical head high bump.

As long as its against the Pies mate

Yep i hope Bailey had a niggle and wasn't dropped and if he did have a niggle that he's ok for next week. Can't win the flag without him or more to the point can't win it with Spangler in the team

[carey]

I guess one positive for the hawks is they are playing like sh!t and there less than 2 kicks behind

[The Sleeping Giant]

Would love to see players get suspended for diving, and the outrage if malceski got suspended for diving if Franklin got suspended for high contact. Hilarious.

[carey]

Is Sam Mitchell injured????

Very quite by his standards

[daysofourlives]

And will go on to win by 6 goal.
That was no 30 again, hates the Hawks

[the joker]

How can anyone say nick dived. Buddy is 100 kgs and his shoulder made contact with head.

[helicopterking]

Finals time means a whole different set of rules. Barry hall punches a bloke 200m away from ball and gets off.

It's more the reaction after it. Laying on the ground like seriously injured. Faking it to get franklin Matches. Actually drops a little and leans into the hit. Not in the Spirit of the game. Therefore cheating.

Who'd he punch outsidethe ground?

[Sky Pilot]

Buddy will beat that for sure. Slap on the wrist
