Houli is not the victim here, his dog act was not class it was thuggery. (think Campbell Brown)

If some player did this to one of ours you would be saying he got his just desserts.

What a crock. You putting Houli in the class of Campbell Brown? So many clueless people around, a real eye opener for me.

Took a good whack, but it was an accidential boot from Gawn.

Intentional kick, what a dog act. Seriously though, that Bugg incident starkly highlights the difference between deliberate and accidental.

Idiotic comments. It was clearly not intentional.

Matthew Lloyd thinks Bugg will get at least two weeks.

Just when I think that he can't be any dumber, Lloyd always seems to surprise.
 
Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli

No reduction for character reference but I'm sure Bugg will get a reduction for getting on the front foot and saying sorry ::)

Carey saying media should just leave it now until the tribunal. Yeah right...

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli

The mark has been set by Bachar. 4 weeks for a good bloke who was looking the other week. How many for a full blown *smile* who was looking at him while throwing a cheap punch. Any less than 6 weeks and its a disgrace and further underlines the corruption of the AFL
 
Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli

I love that this has happened. Firstly, Mills is a tosser and secondly Bugg is a bigger tosser. All that's missing is the biscuit!

So let's line these two incidents up.

Houli has been in the game for over a decade with a totally clean record.
Bugg for half the time with a filthy record.

Houli is trying to run on to create play, and in an attempt to break an illegal hold, is unfortunate enough to hit the sweet spot on Lamb's head, which quite possibly has more sweet spots than your nan's Pavalova.
Bugg is in a push and shove match with Mills for the first 5 mins of the game, and then makes a decision to punch him in the jaw. No suggestion of either player trying to get involved in the play.

Play both videos in normal time and Houli has very little time to assess the situation. He's just trying to run on and in a split second decision swings an arm back.
Bugg and Mills are testing their strength (a bout as anticipated as Goldy Locks vs Shirly Temple). Bugg has time to consider how far he's going to take things and decides to throw a hook to the jaw.

If Houli's is worth 4, then Bugg has to be looking at a minimum of 6.

This is where the AFL's "manifestly inadequate" stane on Houli will be seen for what it really is, a knee jerk reaction to te media circus.

If he get's the same as Houli then the AFL is absolutely kidding itself, and might as well bring the biscuit and join the two tossers.

That's my take regardless of what the schizophrenic banana might think.
