Docker123 Posted May 30, 2022 #151 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Buddy has been given a 1 week suspension for hitting Trent Cochin of Richmond in the face. Sydney challenging the penalty. From the video i saw, he had a rather soft first attempt, then a much more forceful action. As his body was in the way, not able to say whether it was with an open hand or a fist. Trent may have a case for an Oscar -- however he was hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted May 30, 2022 #152 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Honestly it was a dumb action from Bud. Cost us a reversed free kick and was completely unnecessary. Just for that I think he should cop the suspension. Yeah, it was soft. Yeah, it was provoked. But geez fella. In your 19th season at the top level and still being sucked into dumb errors like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted May 30, 2022 Author #154 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I am shocked, shocked, to read that Buddy was suspended 😁 Can't believe he would intentionally hit another player. OK, I'm just kidding. Seems like a bad time to lose him, what with some big games upcoming. They are starting to show more AFL games here, a little earlier than usual. I hope that means more people here are watching and they continue to add games. Go Swans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted June 1, 2022 #157 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Appeal lost. Buddy out for next match against Melbourne. Following week, Sydney has a bye.

NoWhiners Posted June 1, 2022 Author #158 Share Posted June 1, 2022 That video seems to say it all. Maybe the 2nd punch was a bit over the top? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 1, 2022 #159 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Knew he would lose the appeal, that behaviour cannot be condoned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted June 1, 2022 #160 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm not even sure why we bothered to appeal - IMO it was pretty obvious and straightforward. A week is actually a good outcome considering. Appealing on the basis that it wasn't deliberate.. I dunno. It was off the ball, multiple hits. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was provoked, but it was a pretty dumb thing to do - the retaliator always gets sanctioned. That's always been the way in sports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losfp Posted June 4, 2022 #164 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Fantastic 2nd quarter by Sydney to sneak in front by a couple of points. Melbourne are a strong team though - they're not top of the ladder for nothing! And the challenge for Swans is can we keep up the pressure for the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losfp Posted June 4, 2022 #167 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hoooooooooowheee. That was a gutsy effort. Down 5 goals in the first quarter against the ladder-leaders, fought back for a tough win. I'll take it!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted June 4, 2022 Author #169 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Wow, I can't believe they won. I watched the first 5 minutes, they were down 12-1 and didn't look very organized. That 2Q sounds great. I just couldn't keep my eyes open, sorry I missed it. But, nice win. That win should put the rest of the league on notice!! Thanks for posting Leigh.
