Bugg was worse imo, blatantly and intentionally putting one on someones chin is the worst look you can get for the sport. Will cop 5 or 6

Yep.

Houli's was bad but when you blatantly punch someone in the face in a calculated fashion and he is taken out of the game it is much worse than a reckless throwing of the arm back that unfortunately lands on your opponents face and takes him out. Both have the same outcome sure but one has 100% intent to hit the head and the other has only 100% intent to hit the players arm/body but carelessly hits the head. It's the difference in legal terms between murder and manslaughter where in both someone is killed but ones actions but in the former there was intent to kill (hit in the head) but in the latter the intent was not to kill (hit the player but the head was unfortunately hit).


OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Agree, but once again, he was intimidated/provoked.
Saying that, look at Rances first quarter, he should be knighted

I'm not so sure.Houli turned his head around, looked at the bloke and smash him in the stuffing jaw with his forearm.

I'm fine with that so long as you're man enough to face the music without calling in the PM and a token Muslim, would be politician, journalist to gve character reference.

We won't even bother with the third turd, the afl diversity manager (Muslim) who bashes blokes.

Should have been given 4 weeks reduced to 3 ...but the afl media department would have advised the tribunal of their imbecilic, political concerns.

It was a dog act and it brought three dogs out to play.

In fairness Ox, he didn't call in the PM

His advocate (lawyer) presented (used) comments made at press conference the day before by the PM, there was no written reference.

What's actaully amusing is the PAM'S office wasn't happy with what the lawyer did. Actually I found it hysterically funny myself

GEELONG great Jimmy Bartel admits the Match Review Panel was "pretty disappointed" with the AFL Tribunal's decision to suspend Bachar Houli for two matches last week.

It's been reported that this chap also gave a character reference for Bachar. Is that correct?
