Buddy

[CURLY]

Surely he gets 2-3 and he won't play us. The AFL darlings can't cover this up.

They can and will cover it up.

He will get a 1 week slap on the wrist

Can't be less than 2 weeks. If it isn't 2 it's basically cheating.

[skeptic]

Was the Freo player hurt?

That’s really the issue here. Got the free paid against him… don’t know that I see more than a week there without an injury, maybe even a fine

[Yorkeys]

It was a Hawkins type accident. Some players have a natural curve in their run taking set shots so its not play on, some are just consistently awkward when it comes to hurting opponents, nothing to see here says Chris Judd. If that fails plead mercy because of Covid arrangements and Sydney doing it tough. Freo guy played on didn't he they will note.

[CarlD]

Should get a week for indiscriminately throwing his elbow around but once you take the Protected Species Act into account he'll probably just get a fine.

[older saint]

Guarantee at worst a fine, They will use Astbry as an example from earlier in the year, even though they don't use precedents .

Christian/ Hocking combination as MRO are hopeless

[Trev from the Bush]

He is a koala.

A tut, tut only.

If it had been a previous high profile Swans full forward, when playing for StKilda, it would be season over.

IMO Buddy won't get suspended a fine & a slap on the wrist . The Freo dude wasn't seriously hurt & Buddy is a protected species

I didn’t watch the match

Did the Freo guy just get up and keep playing.

If so, IMO it’s worth a free kick, maybe a fine

[samuraisaint]

Wait, they play Essendon next don't they???

Play on, nothing to see here.

[SaintJohn1956]

Charlie Dixon only got a fine

[The Fireman]

he slung that elbow back at speed, lucky he didn't knock the guy out or worse.

Agreed.. if our player did the same and opposition wasn't hurt then id be pissed if he got suspended for 2 weeks..

theres a boy with his finger on the pulse

sign him up

Me thinks so too, although it is pretty blatant…

They wanna get him to 1000!

The narrative…spin…romance …AFL bla bla….

..it is the kind of back-hander (elbower) that doesn’t look good. Maybe we can use it in defense of one our own in future.

They’ll still beat Essendon without him, surely.

Hahahahaha got one no need to guess who Sydney play in two.
Never change AFL.

[Ghost Like]

Ol' Throbbo got his wish.

[repta]

Buddy is playing like a grumpy old man.

Buddy is playing like a grumpy old man.

He hasn't thrown the leg for awhile, he's on the road and wifey has been in lockdown, he's ready to explode.

Putting in the excuse groundwork a few weeks in advance.

Gotta admire it!

The Swans are appealing - based on precedents. But we know the AFL don't consider precedents in their findings so that's a bit of a gamble actually; risking two games. Good to see!
