Tribunal / suspensions 2024

[jeemak]

Can't believe Hewett didn't get suspeneded for clipping Neale. The strike was deemed careless. Careless? You can throw jabs at people's chin and it is careless?

What a farce. How do they serioulsy wake up in the morning and look in the mirror.

This is careless https://x.com/Sammy__Edmund/status/1...386729178?s=20

The only time AFL players lose their coordination and precision with hand, foot and body is if their use of those things is intended to maim. Unbelievable that isn't called intentional.

Apparently Harmes in trouble for a headbutt yesterday.

Can I volunteer as the club lawyer and advocate for a 22 week suspension?

What a dickhead he is if true.

[Grantysghost]

What a dickhead he is if true.

Its true was on the warne stand side.

He more or less pushed his head into Mays.

My guess is a week off.

[Hotdog60]

We'll if his going to do it, do it with meaning and bring out your best Phil Carman and then that fixes two problems at once.
May out for the rest of the game and Harmes gone for 12 months.

Stupid act

JAMES Harmes will miss this week's clash with in-form Gold Coast after copping a suspension, while six other players were fined for transgressions during Sunday's AFL matches.Harmes was handed a one-game suspension for headbutting former teammate Steven May late in the final term of the Western Bulldogs' loss to Melbourne on Sunday afternoon.

New Demon Jack Billings won a holding the ball free kick for his tackle on Harmes just outside the Bulldogs' forward 50, with May coming in to give the ex-Demon a secondary shove before the duo scuffled on the ground.
After getting to their feet, Harmes pushed his head towards May who immediately grabbed his face and made a point to the umpire that he had been headbutted.

Seeing as it was Steven May on the receiving end, it is perfectly understandable for Harmes to direct a Liverpool kiss at his scone - maybe he thought he was at Entrecote restaurant.

Harmes is one of us now - I wish him a quick return to the side.

Stupid act

Yeah May certainly made his case to the umpire. Worthy of a Hollywood gig. Looked like a primary school kid pleading to the teacher.

From The Club

We’ve accepted the one match suspension for Harmes.

He’ll be unavailable for this week’s match up with the Suns

Yeah sometimes it's just worth it, not the first time May has copped it from a team mate or ex team mate.

Yep. He?s a doggie. Wish our player s had stuck up for him a bit, without stepping into suspension territory. Sometimes a melee can change the flow of the game, and we needed all the help we could muster.

Does anyone think the match committee like the fact that it's a forced change?

I'm not on the Match Committee but I like it. He offered nothing, and as an experienced player he doesn't have the excuses of some of the others who were below standard.

[SonofScray]

Didn’t head butt him too hard, should have kicked him instead.

[bornadog]

James Sicily free to play.

No way he kicked McGrath.
