Round 18 - Who wants it most?

[amber_fluid]

Westhoff should have been on the other side of Davis to block him from getting across.

Not many brain cells between Wingard and Westhoff let me tell you.

[Jim05]

So with the confirmation that Fisher has a fractured leg does Howe now cop a week or two for the deliberate trip?
Think he might get a week for his punch on Cripps aswell

The image of Wingard faking for a free in the paper today is classic

He is in trouble for both. The punch can only be treated as intentional, and he may get away with careless for the trip. Every chance he gets up to 4 weeks total.

Hurn cleared, was worried he would go for that

Had to be as he did nothing wrong.

love that sound of a Port home game when they are getting pumped

You think they should cheer for a side 5 goals down dickhead?

Where did i say they should cheer, i merely said i love the sound of the silence dickhead

I'd imagine you're ok being alone with just your own thoughts then.

I thought it was a free (for the trip) at the time but I don't think he should get games. So he'll get 4.

Yeah absolutely, think for myself too unlike you who is your classic AFL nuffy who believes everything their club puts down their throat

"Think"

[tigerpie]

I didn't think Melbourne supporters had that in them
Apparently it was sparked from racial abuse...not sure from which group though

How hammered was the Melbourne bloke. Couldn't get out of his own way lol.
Security poor. Responsible service of alcohol out the window.
Ban the lot for 3 years minimum.
Very poor look for the cats.

I'm a big Hurn fan but I thought he was going to be watching for a few weeks based on other instances.

[Jim05]

Howe got 2 weeks for striking Cripps and his trip on Fisher has been referred straight to the tribunal.

Gee, the lad had a big opening few minutes, see you next year son, tripping is pretty much the worst thing you can do on the footy field.

Considering his leg is broken he's going to have a decent holiday and so he should.
And the way carlton are going they are sure going to miss him.

Still probably less pain than having to play.

Howe cops 3 for the trip so 5 weeks in total

This system still doesn’t sit well with me. Deadset unlucky he broke his leg, definitely feel for Fisher but Howe’s split second reaction happens quite a bit in plenty of matches.
Once again a player is being suspended on the outcome, not the action. If he didn’t break his leg it would’ve been a fine.

I thought even Cutler was unlucky. He had already left the ground before Murphy had and the nudge from the defender pushed Murphy into contact with Cutler. Another decision based on the outcome.
