Was definitely Steve Hocking alright. Leigh Mathews ended up having assault charges brought against him and was deregistered for a while IIRC, don't remember Hocking even being cited! Hocking continued career using the knuckle - I remember he was also involved in major fisticuffs again, this time with Dermie during the '89 GF, when the Cats head-hunted the Hawks in the first 20 mins. He's not entitled or fit to pass judgement on anyone else and be taken seriously imo, especially in the light of the innocuous incidents we're talking about here.
Maybe this aspect of his personality deserves a reprise and some scrutiny in the media?
Reality always wins in the end.
