Help Needed: Proof of Scarlett being a Sniper

[steph]

A work colleague of mine who is a geelong supporter recently asked me who I hate from the cats. I said the only player I hated was Scarlett, firstly because of the incident with Harves and secondly cos he's a sniper. He was totally shocked at me saying he's a sniper, and asked for examples, and I struggled to think of specific times, just stated he is in general.

I know there's a lot of us on here that hate Scarlett, so does anyone have specific examples, or videos from youtube or something that I could use to prove that I didn't just make this up??


Thanks!!

Round 1 2004.

Maybe at the start of the second quarter.

50m off the ball, took Riewoldt out. He spent a significant amount of time off the ground having his jaw and throat looked at.

You can see it in the background on the coverage but nothing came of it as I recall.

Think if you look closely at most of his games you will see him snipe an opp player, same with Maxwell

[backit]

Last week when he dropped the knees into Jack Steven after Steven had taken a mark. I am pretty sure he has been previously rubbed out for the same sort of action.

Correct. Under the trribunal system at the time, Geelong supporting tribunal chairman Brian Colliss ruled that the video was "inconclusive".

You need only to get a tape of last weeks game to see where Scarlett sunk the knees into Jack Steven's back (whilst Jack was on the ground) !!

In rnd 13 last year I think, kosi went up for the mark hands above his head, Scarlett couldn't contest so punched kos pretty hard in his exposed ribs.

Didn't he punch a player in the nads a couple of weeks ago and get suspended.

Anyway, first thing that comes to mind is he punched Sam Gilbert in last year's GF, I think it was the last quarter.

thanks guys, this was my point exactly that he drops his knees into players and has cheap shots every week that specific examples weren't really needed. would love to get video footage. i'm sure it will happen again soon enough so i'll just have to pay extra close attention!

He is a dog don't worry about that, and don't forget his filthy mate up the other end, Mooney, equally as bad.

Maybe someone here can remember but wasnt it Scarlett who wacked an Irish Player off the ball many years ago in an international match?

I might be wrong but if my memory serves me right I think it was him.

Rnd 2 2010
Matthew Scarlett has been charged with a Level Two misconduct offence in that he kneed Michael Osborne during the first quarter.
accepted a 1 match suspension

Apr 11th 2006
Key Geelong defender Matthew Scarlett will miss the next two matches after choosing to accept the two-match suspension handed down by the match review panel for his level four striking offence against Kangaroo Leigh Harding.

Reported in 2004 for ? You guessed it Unneccessary Knee contact / Found
Not Guilty

2001 Reported for striking . Found guilty 2 weeks.

2000 Melee Involvement fined $1000

And the one I remember vividly

TRIBUNAL
Geelong�s Matthew Scarlett was cited on a striking charge arising from the opening match of the 2003 International Rules series.
An incident involving the Geelong defender and Ireland�s Des Dolan, who had his nose broken while running from the interchange bench at Perth�s Subiaco Oval, was investigated following the match.
Scarlett was found guilty and suspended for 3 matches.
While Scarlett stated there was a bit of pushing and shoving between himself and Dolan, several witnesses, including the Gaelic team doctor, testified that they saw Scarlett punch Dolan several times.

We wont go into the numerous other times that he has dropped knees into opposition players and not gone on report.

A Great player but a thug and a very ordinary human being.

I would've thought this would be common knowledge by now. In other breaking news the sky is blue, Akermanis is a knob and Collingwood is disliked.

[ThePunter]

What about the job he did on Justin Murphy?

[I Love Peter Kiel]

I'll say it again: "You'll get yours, Scarlett!!"

[Hurricane]

Just watch a few Geelong games

Doesnt matter from when or who its against. Scarlett has been a dirty sniper ever since he started

BANG BANG

[Thinline]

His mate Milburn's no better...

[stinger]
