Title: Judd - Eye Gouge
Post by: Moi on May 28, 2007, 08:41:10 PM
One week - pleeese!
I thought eye gouging was the worst crime you could do - well, in my book.
Most others 4 weeks - if you came from a specific ethnic group - 6

Like the umpiring, rules for some and not others!

Not convinced.

Brown laughed at him after he looked at the umpire squinting.

Hand in the face.  Deliberate eye gouge?  I'm not so sure.

Yeah, but he was found guilty of it, so you'd think the penalty would reflect that.

It was classed as negligent rather than reckless or intentional so that's why Judd only copped a week. He'll contest it too because it can't be any more than a week even if he goes to the tribunal and challenges it. Brown will probably get him off too.

The conspiracy theory is Hawthorn are being obliging to suck up to Judd just in case he leaves the Eagles at the end of the year.

Judd is just another Golden Boy.

Give him a token week, to make it look as though they are making a tough stance, he'll appeal and get reduced points and be eligible for the brownlow and can play this week.

How Solomon got off is staggering, Johnson was reckless but someone pushed Kosi as he went for the mark as well, which contributed to the contact.

He's my favourite player in the whole league and I think he's as guilty as sin and should have got more that he was offered. Like Julzqld said Golden Boy. No wonder we get angry at things like this when no one is consistant with things. Eye gouging is eye gouging no matter who does it treat each and every player the same. And throw away your previous record, guilty should mean guilty. Not because you have got a clean record you get off with a mistameaner, or how ever its spelt.

He has to get off the charge completely to still be eligible for the Brownlow.

Reduced charge and a reprimand and he's still gone.  Pretty sure that's what happened to Goodes as well.

That's right.

The vision of it looks bad no matter what Campbell Brown says. It looked like Brown was trying to find where his eyeball was straight after it.

Surprise surprise. The tribunal said it was not proven so Judd gets off.

Once the witnesses took the stand he was safe. When you have everyone saying it was nothing what else can you expect. The audio from the umps microphone they played at the start of the hearing was interesting. One player shouted out "eye gouging, eye gouging".
