Ivan Soldo

Just watched it. Amazing. It wasn't even to the head? And the hawks player jumps into his path, he is merely protecting himself.
 
Old man christian needs to put his warm slippers on and go settle into a nursing home.
 
editing team must be going nuts piecing together all the incidents that where either not punished or let off. I thought he would be sited for the initial "bump" not the "push off" as I saw it live at the G. There was no malice from Soldo and hawks player when out of his way to get in his face. If he genuinely "hit" him I would not be here defending him. Its a joke.

More so a joke when Mumford broke ribs for not playing the ball. Some are calling it a hard football act, B S%$it . he lined him up and used his 110kg frame to tackle him, the ball was not even on his mind. Real tough Mummy !!!

Yeah, Worpel goes to move into Soldos way, that’s got to be a point to defend Ivan on, then Ivan “bumper bars” him to the shoulder.

I’m stupidly confident Ivan will get off this suspension.
 
Just saw the incident. Cannot believe that this would get even cited. He jumps in the guy's path, the arm was clearly purely defensive and aimed at the chest (did it even hit him above the shoulder??) and #5 goes down like a sack of spuds to try to milk a free.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Laughable given what ablett has got away with.

How did a bloke like christian end up with the job in the first place. He is clueless.
He left Fyfe off, he left Ablett off, he let Mumford off...brainless

Hmm - remember in Dusty’s defence didn’t the player who was hit say he also jumped into Dusty’s path, said the hit wasn’t deliberate, actually hit his shoulder first and it had no impact on him at all, the the panel went lalalalalalalal ok 1 week then.

I am not confident because the panel won’t admit errors and have to make up for the Ablett and Fyfe letoffs by regaining some public tough love.
 
Listening to Terry Wallace a little earlier..... reckons he deserved a week!

Thanks plough..... when he heard we were appealing, he said something like.... "that's why I don't coach anymore!" Dunno why that was relevant, tho pretty sure most of us wish he never had :-[

The Mumford one was a joke. Christian says he was trying to put pressure on and because Kelly sandwiched Murphy into him his actions weren't unreasonable. That's actually an ok point until about a second or so from contact, if he'd fallen across his back etc I'd have no issues, but if you watch Mumfords right leg just before impact (and follow his eyes, never once looked at the ball), he clearly decides to drive his right leg into Murphys chest. Completely avoidable and far from reasonable IMO. The fact he has let this off seems to suggest this year is free reign with any hits to the body and free reign if you are a Brownlow medallist regardless of what you do (unless your name is Dustin Martin).

Was there any force in that? Ridiculous.

Zero. It was just an elbow kiss.

I always notice him squinting. No wonder he can't see clearly. Get some glasses you Scumwood prick!!

Surprised with the Varcoe one, that he didn't say, didn't see him there. That was actually Dustin Martin in a Travis Varcoe mask so I'll suspend him instead.

The Varcoe one reminded me a bit of the Cotchin one from the Prelim actually. Gee Cotch was lucky to survive that.

Yep. Just to keep things fair...

I ask again. Besides Varcoe, how many Scumwood players have copped suspensions and fines this season?

Really?
I thought he didn’t coach any more because he’s *smile* at it.
