AFL Round 15

[Spargo]

Butters fined 10k reduced to 6k early plea for his fourth rough conduct charge of the year

He’s clearly a slow learner
That or just an idiot!

so stop fining him and rub him out for a week or 2

If you are the opposition you are sending your dirtiest scrapper you have in your side to him to throw him off his game

Spot on, he’s been worked out.

Steven May, shit bloke - again..,

Steven May, shit bloke - again..,

Fined $1875 but can be reduced to $1250 with an early guilty plea. Will prove how deliberate it was if he does plead guilty which is a real bad look for him.

Can it get any worse for him anyway?

AFL should have made him face the media yesterday and publicly apologise, if he refused then put him into HIA protocols

His just played a lot of union in his time. The second your on the ground like that you cover your head to try and avoide being stomped on as players run off.

This is one thing the NRL does really well. Any head knock and you are sent off for HIA. They also have a panel watching all footage on delay and at different angles and if they spot a head knock then they notify the referee and the club medicos and that player comes off. May would’ve been sent from the field for assessment if he did that in the NRL

A complete amateur compared to these guys …

Thats 100% right as well.

As we now know concussion doesn't have to be from the contact of head hitting ground and often is from the whiplash motion causing the brain to jerk. So whilst he didn't smash the ground that's not to say he didn't feel dizzy, light headed or ache from the tackle and potentially a concussion.

In saying that 'clearly, he was faking looking for a free'

Like others have said if he had gone into HIA he would think twice about faking it next time.

In a surprise to no one the GeeAFL have thrown out Thugerfields facebuster tackle charge
