Carey on Talking Footy last night was not as forgiving......he thought 2 weeks was very, very lucky & both he & Watson were in disbelief that May got the same penalty for a perfect hip & shoulder while playing the ball ! Talk about protected species.
Watson was also talking about the possibility of introducing a "sin bin" ala every other contact sport in the world.......now that I'd like to have seen, both Hodge & Lewis off the ground for a period of time. He mentioned the Grand Final where Lake won the Norm Smith but also got 4 weeks from the indcident in the game......imagine if Lake had to go off to a Sin Bin for set amount of time.....that could have been the difference between the Hawks winning or losing a GF !
Teams would think twice about thuggary if it meant players missed game time in a GF instead of a couple of weeks the next season.
Darcey, of course, couldn't see it......what a waste of air.
If implemented correctly, the sin bin is an excellent idea.
Agree with all your opinions about the commentators - Darcy, GW are major douches. Carey is becoming my favourite. Partly because he is actually ok, and partly because the competition is non existent.
Good post malo.
