Shit, really? DIdn't see that.
Hille and Welsh have apparently both been reported though (heard earlier on Triple M).

Hille "should" get off as he had little chance to pull out of the contact.

Welsh is an interesting one as the video that Ch10 showed was pretty inconclusive.

Fletch will probably go (because he has a shit record)

Lonergan in any trouble? He hit Bateman behind the play.

No, no problem hitting Bateman, you acttually have to hit a human to get reported.

Didn't see the Welsh one, even though it was right in front of us, but didn't look like much on TV later.

Fletcher's was stupid and high contact - good bye. :twisted:

I'm guessing they'll not even look at the Hodge one like last year.

I don't think he actually hit him...more that he ran through him...it was a dumb piece of play #-o

Woosha should claim he was running off the line and made incidental contact - he should get off. If it was deliberate he disguised it extremely well - no conclusive footage.

Fletch will get weeks.

Hille would be very stiff - I suspect they'll throw that one out at the review.

Yep. Fletch throws one of those in about every 18 months. 2 weeks.

Welsh is in big trouble. Knee to the groin behind the play. 3-4 weeks.

Hurley will def go back if/when Fletch gets rubbed out.... doubt that Still will get a game ahead of Neagle or Laycock at the moment. I think today were the first 3 goals he has kicked for Bendigo this season. Give the young man some more time in the VFL.

admittedly i only saw it once and quickly but i thought Fletcher's was fairly incidental but was high so i dunno how they will look at it, i hope he didn't make contact but that thought never entered my mind when i saw it

Didn't make contact looking at the replay, will be fine. Welsh is the one I would be worried about, he will most likely go.

Hille will be fine. Was probably worth the 50, but nothing more. Wasn't a charge, as he was pulling up.

What disturbs me is that players put themselves in these vulnerable positions. I know that the soft cocks who run football these days are trying outlaw anything that remotely looks like contact so we have to adapt to these '" netball " laws.

We don't want perfectly fit guys sitting in the stands watching on. Especially Fletch with our tall backlins stocks depleted at the moment. Stupid Stupid.

Fletch will be fine, he didn't make any contact. Welsh will get done even if it was an accident.
