Mooney - 1 week suspension
Gamble - 1 week suspension
And we are all familiar with the player who hit X Clarke, yes? (Keep forgetting who this is
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Well, HE GOT OFF. No suspension, no nothing.

He didn't jump, he didn't use his elbow.
It was bad luck that X is smaller then him.

It was a shepherd, not a charge. Similar to the Kozzie V Giansirucusa injury.rodgerfox wrote:So the law against charging doesn't exist anymore?Saintschampions08 wrote:And?gO.SainTs wrote:I just heard:

Well now we all know waht you can do and cannot do so we can 'drill' our players into performing the art of 'picking off' smaller opponents at their leisure.

what game are we playing netball or footy ? the bump looked worse then it was cause X didnt see it comming had he seen it he wouldnt of even hit the ground . so would you now suggest that when every you going to bump a bloke you have to yell "im about to bump you brace youself for it " seriously if it was hamil doing it to any other player we would be going on how its all part of the gamejoffaboy wrote: Rubbish, nothing like it.
Go and learn the rules. It was more than 10 metres from the ball, he was hit in the head, and he was carried off on a stretcher.
However according to you that is fair?
As I say learn the rules.
St.Trav, the laws of the game state that you have to be within 5 metres of teh ball to bump an opponent for it to be a legal bump.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:what game are we playing netball or footy ? the bump looked worse then it was cause X didnt see it comming had he seen it he wouldnt of even hit the ground . so would you now suggest that when every you going to bump a bloke you have to yell "im about to bump you brace youself for it " seriously if it was hamil doing it to any other player we would be going on how its all part of the gamejoffaboy wrote: Rubbish, nothing like it.

A cowardly hit on an unsuspecting player is not footy. Does that happe in netball?st_Trav_ofWA wrote:what game are we playing netball or footy ?
Doesn't matter if it looked worse or what your opinion is. The fact is that 5 metres from the ball is not in play and a player is entitled to believe that he will not get laid out with a hip an shoulder that hits him in the head.st_Trav_ofWA wrote: the bump looked worse then it was cause X didnt see it comming had he seen it he wouldnt of even hit the ground . so would you now suggest that when every you going to bump a bloke you have to yell "im about to bump you brace youself for it " seriously if it was hamil doing it to any other player we would be going on how its all part of the game
It was in play. He was hit barely above shoulder high (At no fault of Wests). He was carried off in a stretcher...and then came back onto the ground.joffaboy wrote:Rubbish, nothing like it.Saintschampions08 wrote:It was a shepherd, not a charge.

No it wasn't, the ball was at least 10-15 metres awaySaintschampions08 wrote: It was in play.

Irrelevant. He was hit high not in the play, you admit that yourself.Saintschampions08 wrote:(At no fault of Wests). He was carried off in a stretcher...and then came back onto the ground.
Just because he didn't jump doesn't mean no hig contact. he was hit in the headSaintschampions08 wrote:He didn't jump, so theirs no high contact.
You can only shepard the ball within 5 metres of the ball. The ball was between 10-15 metres away so it can be a shepard.Saintschampions08 wrote:He was performing a shepherd, so it wasn't malicious.
Learn the definition of in playSaintschampions08 wrote:Clarke was chasing the ball, so it was in play.
You should learn the rules and stop blaming the victim. West is a gutless coward and anyone who defends him is a clueless twit.Saintschampions08 wrote:West shouldn't be punished for Clarkes awareness, or lack there of.
