Re: MRP - Webster 2 weeks, Steven fine
I have been watching the recording of the match and if it's the incident above one minute before quarter time it is pretty soft.
Saints should challenge the Webster suspension as it is not intentional and definitely low impact.
Subin idoesn't appear to be distressed or show any anger.

I didn't see any spiteful incident involving Webster for him to get 2 weeks . That's a bad loss coming up against the Tigers.

It's on the afl website. Part of the mini melee after Carlisle pushed Ballantyne.longtimesaint wrote:I have been watching the recording of the match and if it's the incident above one minute before quarter time it is pretty soft.

Very poor form from Webster. He plays with real courage and toughness, but he really slipped up on that one.
The penalty of three weeks down to two is correct. Perhaps lenient to be honest.

Re: MRP - Webster 2 weeks, Steven fine
I really like Webster. He will be ashamed of his behaviour. Our goal is to be a professional football club. Our goal is to be so damn effective our guys get tagged every week and cop the chatter and niggling...Our goal is to take
It, absorb it and beat our opponents down like champions. It appears for whatever reasons Webster decides to jam his thumb TWICE into the eye of an opposition player. He acted weak but he is strong and will learn to not only resist these attempts by nigglers but eat them for breakfast and spit them out. This action doesnt define him it was simply an incident in the moment. He is a brilliant player and a developing leader . I was disappointed I am sure he is as well. But I would have punched someone so he is much more professional than I am. I also think its fair to get 2 weeks for jamming your thumb in someones eye which can cause permanent damage.

Not soft, it's pretty unnecessary by Jimmy. Oh well, he'll cop the two weeks and hopefully learn from it.

I still don't think it was intentional but careless with the hand near Subin's face.

Re: MRP - Webster 2 weeks, Steven fine
So anyone know if there is any action against the guy who slammed Gilbert into the ground headfirst? I'd be surprised if Subin misses a game, but not surprised if Gilbert misses this week for concussion.

Well now that I saw the video I'm pretty surprised Jimmy did that. Still didn't seem that spiteful but was stupid. Deserved one week not two in my opinion.dragit wrote:Yuk, Webster - what an idiot, thank god sanity prevailed for Steven.

I think this emphasises how lucky Webster is to cop only 2 weeks.
People call a lot of things "dog acts" on here. Well, I don't care that Webster plays for us: deliberately sticking your thumb into someone's eye (twice, by the look of it) is a dog act in my book. If the club decided to de-list him, I'd back them.

Why would a bloke waste the energy (and suspension) on hitting Suban... when there's a Ballantyne out there???

Mav's shocker may create an opening for someone else.
Does anyone think Battle or Marshall stand a chance to replace him or would be Savage.

Sadly for Webster, due to his dumb actions he will now be labelled as an eye-gouger. Better to be known as a good footballer. If I was Richo I would tear shreds off him in front of the playing group.

Re: MRP - Webster 2 weeks, Steven fine
Because I don't care how good a player he is (and I reckon he's a really good one: potential AA in a year or two), I see attacking the eyes of an opponent to be an appalling action, and presumably a symptom of a complete lack of self-discipline, total stupidity or both. Do we really want such players at our club?Harvey To Hayes wrote:Care to elaborate? Why would the club delist Jimmy?meher baba wrote: If the club decided to de-list him, I'd back them.
I want us to completely leave behind the days of being the knockabout party club and become a ruthless, professional outfit dedicated to being one of the top 5 or 6 clubs for the next few decades. This was the vision of Butterss, GT and Waldron when they were all working well together. The club lost the plot a bit fter those days: putting everything into rolling the dice for a flag, rather than looking to the long term. Understandable, but we are paying for it now.
I would like to think that Finnis, Richo and co are now back with the program. I'm sure Webster will be given another chance, but, if he blows it, I reckon the club should look seriously at moving him on. It would send the right signal to the rest of the squad, and to the footy world in general.

Re: MRP - Webster 2 weeks, Steven fine
Watching Jimmy over the last few years, he's as aggressive and niggly as all hell and I love it! He's exactly what we need and with Jake C, having tough aggressive, borderline dirty defenders is important! All the best teams have had one or two 'nutters'! They need to be carefully managed, for sure and they need to toe a fine line...but asking them to change and lose that aggression is a lost cause!
