Re: AFL 2023 Semi Final Carlton vs Melbourne at the MCG Reply #15 – September 09, 2023, 01:33:30 pm Blakely gets involved in these incidents a bit, must be a bit lippy or something. Martin isn't a puncher so is there more to this than meets the eye? Quote Selected

Looked really bad on one angle...Blakey was holding his jaw too...Was it as bad as Parkers elbow to Newman's jaw in the 3rd? He came off holding his jaw as well, but I've heard nothing about it.

During finals you're always a chance if there is doubt whereas it would be a week in the regular season. Worse has been let off in finals. Let's hope!

Re: AFL 2023 Semi Final Carlton vs Melbourne at the MCG Reply #18 – September 09, 2023, 02:09:17 pm Both sides have things to work on. Melbourne was plain wretched at times while we just played the one good qtr, the 2nd, even if we did lead at qtr time. Quote Selected

Let's hope!He could argue it was a careless spoiling attempt that went wrong, Blakey did continue on the ground which is another positive however I can still see a weeks holiday given the look of the incident. Luke Hodge who didnt mind a bit of that stuff himself at times said Martin will have a case to answer and Hodge usually tends to side with the players in trouble. Quote Selected

He came off holding his jaw as well, but I've heard nothing about it.His elbow was in when Newmans head hit it. It raised after the contact in an instinctual fashion when you bump.Was unlucky, but not reportable Newman initiated contact.Martin had a swinging arm, with a clenched fist that connected with his jaw. He went off the ground, holding his jaw, and was off for 10 minutes.The optics of that means a week at best. Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: AFL 2023 Semi Final Carlton vs Melbourne at the MCG Reply #21 – September 09, 2023, 03:23:21 pm Melbourne are tough, big bodied and battle hardened. If possible, I'd avoid skinny types against them in a final, like Hollands. And I'm a big Hollands fan. Quote Selected

Re: AFL 2023 Semi Final Carlton vs Melbourne at the MCG Reply #26 – September 09, 2023, 06:52:52 pm If Martin was struck in the jaw by Blakeys swinging fist off the ball I would want him suspended, Martin isnt a dirty player but he made a careless move striking Blakey and you have to expect to do time for that type of strike.

Hate to say it but Jack was not exactly subtle. Far too obvious and had to go. Maybe he'll get it down to 1 week? Quote Selected 2 Likes
