Channel 9 showing footage of the Hawks players being arrested in the US

FFS, nothing in it really. Cops really were on a power trip “ if you walk up on me you’re going to jail too”

It was 3 feet off the ground

They shoot people for fun so I'd do almost* anything they say.

Zac should count his lucky stars he avoided going to that out of control rabble

[Lightning McQueen]

F*** me, all the shit going on over in the US and these guys get cuffed?

a simple "Get down dickheads" would've sufficed.

the cuff everyone over there regardless of the offence.

Their drug laws are ridiculous, even get arrested for bong or roach, (just have to watch an episode of Cops) over here a simple diversion

The AFL has cracked down on … wait for it … hair ruffling … certainly tackling the big issues

Taking it just as seriously as recreational drug taking … oh, hang on.

[Brodlach]

And telling the crowd to hang onto the ball

[Lightning McQueen]

So they should on both occasions, Voss made high contact with Petty's head, it was unwarranted and against Petty's wishes, if Petty had of cracked him in retaliation he would've got games.

I don't appreciate people getting in my personal space so I don't get in their's as the outcome is going to be one way or the other.

As for the Keays thing, quite harmless but where does it stop? Use it as an example and call a 50m in future if the player is throwing out the instructions, wasn't a great look and opens the door for worse in the future if not addressed.

Playing against Smithfield in the 90’s, getting my hair ruffled was the least of my problems

You've just given me flashbacks of a collarbone breaking and sounding like a gunshot...

When every bloke on the opposition had tatts and a goatee

Reckon I played against a couple of U17 teams like that.

Good times, there was always spice between Smithfield and North Haven

Allow taunting. Allow 3 seconds to retaliate without consequences.

Let's see who still does it.

In the example we are using here I’d more than bet that Petty would be missing 8-10 with a broken jaw. Patty Voss is an absolute nutter who can can handle himself very well.
But yes there are many serial pests that would run away if someone came back at them

[Jim05]

AFL look like tinkering with draft rules again as early as this year.
Clubs holding picks 1-5 would receive and extra end of first round pick if their pick moves due to a bid.
With Cochrane and Walker set to go 1 and 2 it pretty much guarantees that those with a pick in the top 5 this year would receive an extra comp pick

When Tasmania come in, second round of the draft will start in the 40's

Absolute clownshow of an organisation

Most pests in the AFL over recent times I think could hold themselves pretty well in a one on one battle.

Would love to see Voss get rid of the dickhead element of his game, the lad can play and is hard as a cats head.

I'd give every club (1) free rort that can be used on a academy rort or f/s selection outside the draft

then its a clean draft from there, Eagles pick 1 can pick whoever is left over, no matching bids, you get your one free rort, use it wisely.

Overtime I think it would even out

Agreed. Every club should have an academy or nominated academy players of local players and including f/s of which they get to automatically draft one into their squad. All other players become free game in the draft. Might dilute the draft a little (18 of the better players already removed) but at least we get a proper draft without clubs needing points to match bids
