Bull poo all that, hit them anyway you can, fairly or unfairly, make them poo their pants

Reece Conca, Richmond, has been charged with a level four striking offence (325 demerit points, three-match sanction) for striking Devon Smith, GWS Giants, during the second quarter of the Round 19 match between Richmond and the GWS Giants, played at the MCG on Saturday August 2, 2014.
 
In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.
 
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the GWS Giants Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of seven activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Four Offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 243.75 points and a two-match sanction.

Medium impact? Did Devon's mum have to come kiss it better? stuff me dead.

ridiculous, reckon ive seen jumper punches have more impact

Our club needs to have players with balls. Both Tyrone and Conca did good IMHO. Its time other clubs players feared our club. Im sick and tired of having soft half hearted players. We need more mongrels. If you want soft go barrack for St Kilda.

What they did was soft.  It takes no balls to sneak up behind someone and king hit them.  You want balls, you show it when you crunch the opposition with fierce tackles and bumps.  North Melbourne players couldn't get up after being hit by the Geelong players last night.  Fair hits and in the contest.

Sneak attacks are just a soft cowards game.

Agression is aggression irrespective of how it happens. Our club produced the likes of Jack Dyer and Mopsy Fraser and Neil Balme and a  host of others who knew what it meant to put fear into opposition players. Thats what we have to get back too not this pussy footing lets be nice and have a singalong at the footy rubbish. Lets start hitting blokes in the opposition, theyll start pooting emselves and we will be feared. Thats what footy is about. Not this gumbayah crap that everyone wants.

i agree. i think we do the time lets say hey you tyake a cheap shot i dont care if i get reported you will get it back with plenty. concas mistake was he didnt knock him into next week.
eff this putting up with cheap elbows  jumper punches etc. do it and suffer the freakin consequences.

agree. No more taking rubbish from the other clubs. The umps aren't giving us frees and looking after us so we will do it ourselves. Only disappointing this is it didn't happen years ago.

well I suppose at least we can say the MRP had the guts to grade it themselves this week. Rather throwing their collective hands in the air and say "it's all too hard"

What you have no mail on this?

A caller on SEN earlier this evening (after 5pm) suggest Conca was kicked prior to his brain fade

[bojangles17]

Sorry, I should have prefaced this by saying there's a it of mail going around that was the catalyst

just like the olden days, dont run son cause their is nowhere to hide if you wanna play footy  He got what he deserved when he pulled the jumper & ran away like a girl. Well done Reece.
