Six Points: Cram the Crows condescending, Bucks, Swans weren't that good, and the rule change AFL must make

$1500 fine for both Sicily and Keays

For mine removing a vanity headband is not the same as protective eye wear.

AFL hate James Sicily.

Footy Fix: The Bombers have a big weakness - and Freo just showed how to exploit it

Bombers seemed to miss Draper in particular but looked close go full strength last night.

May still make finals but won’t go deep i.e. will continue their streak of longest period between final game wins.

Fertile ground for an argument, RT.

Reported as ‘in agreement’ with Grant Thomas…..

AFL News: Cameron friendly fire sparks suspension debate, Cornes slams response to 'disappointing' Stewart incident

Cornes must be joking? Kane wants weeks for friendy fire contact which is the very definition of an accident but also reckons Stewart wasn’t being a dog for his contact on an obviously injured opponent.

Sheesh!

After some reflection, I reckon you’re right, Doc. despite your initial post being deliberately sensationalist and provocative.

Sicily IS clearly being judged by his reputation rather than the tackle which was totally reasonable.

Oh, it was simply not an option for him to not tackle.

I don’t have to have any regard to Selwood’s peers, Doc just like you have chosen to ignore any of Sicily’s.

Selwood may be a champion footballer but he was also flawed with an unsporting streak – only a one-eyed Geelong would fail to recognise that.

It’s bordering on an ad hominem argument on your behalf to personally attack Sicily rather than focus on the action under appeal and the appalling decision of tribunal at issue, -which the panel didn’t provide full reasons for.

Hmmm….couldn’t disagree more strongly, Doc.

Selwood would have missed dozens of weeks if being a pr#ck was a suspendable offence.

I think Hannerberry retired before he arrived at St Kilda.

Are waning Saints any good... or have they just had an easy run?

Pleased that the Hawks are backing their skipper with an appeal.

Justice, do your stuff…..

AFL News: Sicily verdict sparks outcry- 'this is the modern game' as Hawks and Tigers appeal bans, Magpies duo staying

😁 tongue firmly in cheek.

I like it.

Hmmm. Until the AFL come out and mandate suspensions for ANY tackle that ends up in a concussion (say, 3 weeks), and/or the potential for head contact (1 week), I simply can’t agree with your proposition.

Sicily’s tackle is textbook legit in being a football action excecuted within the bounds of a reasonable duty of care. The outcome was a pure accident.

Feels like a genuine case of chooklotto and I wonder whether it’s Sicily rep rather than the tackle than being judged here.

Not sure Sicily or the Hawks have any sympathy at AFL House. They look like they are imposing those threatened sanctions for the ‘racism saga’ already.
Totally taking the p#ss.

Total travesty. Hawks must appeal.

The Sicily suspension is a travesty.

The Tribunal has lost the plot and is obviously wanting to make an example of him rather than deal fairly with the circumstances of the incident.

I agree Tim.

Hawks are a real banana skin suddenly.

Six Points: Sicily and Butler did nothing wrong, ridiculous Weightman pile-on, and calling out abysmal commentary

The ‘second motion’ is McCluggage’s weight shift, not something controlled by Sicily.

Garbage.

Sicily didn’t have sufficient control over his tackle to be entirely culpable for the outcome. There are also contributory inputs from Tyler Brockman and McCluggage himself which were also pivotal.

It would be a travesty if Sicily is suspended.

Does he?

I wonder why he would do that?

No surprises here – minimum chips but a sufficient penalty nonetheless.
Time for everyone to move on.

3-4 weeks I reckon.

McRae simply doing what you’d expect of any coach – he didn’t say it was a football act just that it was a split second decision. In fact, he was highly sympathetic of Hewitt’s condition.

Simmo would do the same I reckon.
