Hodge never meant to jam someones head between his shoulder and the post, Mitchell never meant to bury his kneecap into someones thigh, Hodge never meant to bury his kneecap into someones kidney, Gibson never meant to punch someone in the back of the head, Lewis and Franklin never meant to bury someones forehead into the Etihad turf. As a club they sure are lucky with the never meants!
