Polo's hit on Schneider

James · Post: # 764937Post **James** » Mon 29 Jun 2009 12:49pm

Was sitting just at the Coventry right forward pocket.

In the last quarter Schneider was getting on top of things, had a goal and was looking dangerous.

Ball up in the right forward pocket - just as it's coming up, Dean Polo lays a massive fist right into Schneider's lower back. He goes to ground instantly. The umpires ignore it as per usual.

It happened right in front of me, saw it clearly.

It's not really important considering the way the game went, but it probably cost us a goal and if Baker or Milne did something like that they'd be looking at 4+ weeks. Was a dog act.

I hope it was caught on camera.

Another toothless tiggy took out Geary behind the play in the third qtr as well. It may have been Foley.

Sitting near the incident I actually thought it was Crotchen seem to be the closest player to the incident wonder if he will get 4 weeks off the ball behind play!

It was Cotchin.

Also how was Cousins in their best?

He kicked 50% of their goals up to 3/4 time.

Farren Ray was taken out by one of the umpires at one stage.

Farren let him know about it too.

At one point Riewoldt was getting really hot under the collar in the goal square. It was pretty late in the piece. Maybe when that sniping little squib Jackson smeared blood on Joey? Anyone?

Why was Joey getting no protection from the umpires? Consistently dumped/attacked well after he had disposed of the football (main offender seemed to be Jackson) and not one free from memory.

When Geary kicked his goal in the third quarter a Richmond player laid two or three punches into Joey as he was under the pack.

Picked up by the camera's - think it was either Cotchin or Jackson. If it was Cotchin that would be three times he was seen sniping

1) Punching geary when he wasn't looking
2) Punching Joey while Joey was on the ground
3) Punching Schneider in the back.

IF this bloke did the above he is just a gutless sniper. Punching blokes three times when they were either on the ground or not looking.

The ghost on Neil Balme lives at the rabble circus called Richmond.

Polo had Kosi by the hair just near the 50m line at the Locket end. Poor . Very poor. Happened right in front of me on the boundary line.

What's with all the whingeing?
It's a mans game and we give as much as we receive.

Cotchin
Insufficient years in AFL for a good conduct bonus.

Striking, intentional conduct (3 points), high impact (3 points), body contact (1 points) = 7 activation points = level 4 striking offence.

Level 4 striking offence 325 points with discount of 25% for early guilty plea = 243.75 points.

2 weeks plus 43.75 carry over points and 20% loading for next offence in next 3 years.

GONE

Huh?

From what i saw its:

he incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.

He got a reprimand, that's all and all it deserved.
