If Stevie J is not suspended, it will be the greatest injustice they have perpetrated.

Remember Hall punching (forget the guy from Eagles) in the guts in a prelim and getting off years ago. AFL will do whatever it takes to ensure their developing markets are given the best chance of winning.

It was actually Maguire of St Kilda in 05.

Was that any different to the punch on Rioli Friday or the punch Hodge(?) gave someone in the ribs who wasn't looking?

If anything they've been consistent on not penalising those to the point we have a thread dedicated to it.

Re: MRP - General thread

I would have thought that a stomach punch, although not of of long term consequence, places a big restriction on a gut running mid fielder for some time. That alone should make it something that the MRP could look at. It happens far too often to be anything else than an attempt to gain an unfair advantage.

From the weekend, Steve Johnson is the only one who is any chance to be rubbed out.

The other offences are all worth fines under the current system. Hawthorn work the system perfectly and just belt blokes in the throat and the chest and get away with $1500 fines.

Its a funny game when a bump is judged far more harshly than a punch to the throat.

Based on that Hodge should get fined $10k for all the punches.

No way will he contest and risk missing the GF if they make it.
Beat the Dawks this week and we won't have to worry about him in the Prelim.

That's a good out for Dogs/Hawks. Still need to cover their mid/big forwards Cameron, Patton & Lobb. But better him not there!!

Deep breath. He's not playing in a preliminary final that we may be.

Their smalls are also in good touch (Greene, Smith).. They're actually a well rounded side.
