I can't stand Geelong but that's accidental contact. As Hawkins is in motion of handballing, May pulls him back and his arm/elbow connects with his eye, no chance he goes for that.
Star Dee ruled out after elbow to head
Steven May will not be returning to the ground after this incident with Tom Hawkinswww.afl.com.au
I see it quite differently. I believe it was intentional, made to look accidental.
But irrespective of that, It is head high contact with high impact.
And just watching it again, May thinks it is deliberate as well.
Anyone see selwoods player rating in the afl one? Reckon he's just about gone. Without the dodgy frees he has very little left. Good riddance. Cheat of the highest order. Add first class hypocrite to the resume after today's whining for head high against
Fair enough and if Tommy missed games it would be like sucked in cats but I reckon he has buckleys and none getting suspended for that.
Thought id also add in, Danger on Vlastuin elbow to head knocked him out, no suspension. and that was still as you said "head-high contact with high impact."

That Hawkins one is not simple. It should be looked at, but seeing all those angles Hawkins was handballing and the Melbourne player pulled Hawkins towards him. Hawkins' record doesn't help as he has been known to push the envelope in terms of what he does, but very hard to say that was deliberate.

Hawkins seems to do this sort of thing regularly. Must be a mighty clumsy or unlucky player.
the thing is, when its its obviously not an accident, the boys club all pile in in support, nothing to see, nothing in it. It has been consistent and stinky. This one was wierd IMO. The motion was strange, unnatural, reckless and clumsy at best, cunning and deliberate at worst. If he had no form I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe. But given his form, I agree with streak, it was deliberate, May was ropeable, throw the book at him. (they won't, I'm aware of that).
How can you even compare a plodder like Dusty to Petracca, the greatest player in any sport, ever?
Yep, a precedent for sure, but they seem to be going much harder now.
As I said, this will be interesting!
I agree. Contact was in the act of Hawkins desperately handballing a ball in his possession. Nothing to see (pardon the pun).I can't stand Geelong but that's accidental contact. As Hawkins is in motion of handballing, May pulls him back and his arm/elbow connects with his eye, no chance he goes for that.

His natural motion would be to swing straight back but look agai. He lifted his elbow. He had an idea of where May was positioned. It happens waaaay to often with home to be a coincidence. He is a sniper of the worst kind.
He throws his elbow back and high and in the opposite direction in which he attempts to handball.
Deliberate every day of the week.
Yep. How are that lot going to get Stagerfield the flag that they promised him?
