Why is there no mention of this in any of the papers I have read?
If it was Fev who'd done it there'd be a full page story on it.

If he does not get sited on video evidence, it will further illustrate how [REDACTED] the tribunal is. It had much more malice in it than fevs.

Honestly if Medhurst didnt get weeks for shirt fronting Houla, and Fev got weeks for attacking the bloke with the footy.... the AFL just love us honestly, no way known Croad will get cited

They will take the view that it was unintentional, and because Croad has been a good boy he won't be cited.

croad should at least be dited and given a reprimand. take the early guilty plea dropping it back to 90 points or whatever it is. if not then schwab ought to be sacked.

Oppostion player hitting one of our soft cocks............the AFL loves it, encourages it and rewards it. If the roles were reversed however........

If was after the mark, it was a hit to the head with a raised forearm/elbow.

I don't care if he pledges guilty, gets the 25% reduction and is free to play. Croad is fair player. But he should get cited at least.

never mind the hawk dud punching lance in the head .. which actually caused heavy bleeding ..

worst spoil ever !!

but that will be overlooked


last night was the worst game of football i've ever seen . both teams attacking sideways ! .. game determined by the whims of the umpires, skill errors worse than a country reserves game


totally dis-illusioned with afl after that ..


anyhoo

.. go blues ..

He's tougher than soft, flabby people who sit on their butt at a computer and throw cheap accusations at a second year player!

Does Croad have any priors?

If Fev had done it, clowns like you would be....

Hang on...that's a bad thing to call someone.

Maybe you should check under your name before you start calling players soft cocks

When is the review done, Monday?

Notice how tool Brereton was so quick to make excuses for him. If it had been a Carlton player he'd have really ripped into him!

Apparently Jordan had to pay the hospital a visit after the game on Friday suffering the ill-effects of concussion. Nothing too serious but obviously worrying enough for the medicos to send him to hospital. Hopefully it doesn't keep him away for a week as I would like him to get another run this week

No will be done tomorrow for matches played so far as occurred last week (Easter Monday).

mjonc and cypher ease up. not calling russell or any of our players soft cocks. just giving my view of the perception that opposition clubs have of our players. in each of the 4 games we have been given a bit of the rough over. there is no doubting that many of the opposition clubs see us as easy prey. they are not scared of us physically.

by the way hows the tough freo boys dodd and crowley gone since their bravado efforts in Rd2?

My apologies!

But I'm fed up with Carlton supporters calling him soft and he put his head over the ball again nearly right after he copped that elbow to the head.

Why didn't his Captain do something other than drop his jaw?

Nicholls, Kernahan, Dean, McKay, etc. wouldn't have let Croad get away with throwing an elbow and he would been told in no uncertain terms that hitting a kid isn't on.
