*** is Longmire doing with Parker this quarter?

Idk how the afl work out suspensions or anything they do anymore, but I'm okay with 2 weeks, its not a common thing or issue in footy. No injury really resulted from it, biting is worse I'd say and what was that a 3wk suspension.

I agree that thats the part of the problem, none of us know the machinations of the AFL.
The issue is one of clarity of decision. intentional, head-high, behind the play, king-hit, karate kick, biting, etc.
Is the suspension a result of the action, the injury to the recipient, or a combination of both? But they have lead us down the path that head high knocks whether intentional or not are sacred and wont be tolerated. Giving 2 weeks for that sort offence sets the wrong impression imo.

What’s happened to Petracca; still crook maybe.

 

[Connoisseur]

How many times is he going to call Sam Reid Ben?

I think he is allowed a grace period til at least 2024.

Horrendous ball use

Heeney in everything last 5 minutes?
A top 7 forward amongst a kennel of dogs!

Heeney having a little spurt in this quarter….
could have just kept him instead of wasting the trade to English 😝

 

[Connoisseur]

God he looks 12!

Beat me to it!

Hopefully we get a few more that look older than 13!

Milky Bar Kid.

My 5 year old daughter looks older than him

Probably similar muscle definition too

Brings a new level to "playing the kids".

You all made me laugh.
He wouldn't have been allowed in the Ramsgate!

Cant believe Parker being off so long…also off for a long period at the end of the second quarter…

and has dropped 12 points in that time?

Yup stuck on for like 12 minutes and with the game close, his points just got eaten up by other players impact.

Another goal start for Gawny?

 

[AngryAnt]

Gawn gonna kick his third, go large big fella!

I don't think 2 weeks is light tho, no one will now suddenly think the head is "fair game" because of it. It was a brain fade and having a 4 week suspension would not do more to dissuade or prevent a future headbutt in my opinion.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Heeney finally!

 

[AngryAnt]

Heeney goal finally
