The slap

[Wizardman]

I cannot believe the channel nine idiots though the ref was wrong in binning Hetherington for a slap. I certainly think he deserved 10 for that. I've seen too many players get away with it in the past....about time someone got binned for it.

 

[Pneuma]

Yep. Fox called it via Cronk. Unnecessary stupid take a break.

 

[Apey]

I mean its pissweak but it's also just how the game is now. You have to be dumb as a rock (like Hetherington) is to try to get away with it. That one was just more obvious than others so got binned for his troubles.

 

[Bukowski]

It had to be a bin. Imagine if these slaps start happening in most games. Stamp it out.

Where's Reg Reagan with his 'Bring Back The Slap' t-shirt?!

 

[mozza91]

Deserved 10 minutes for the stupidity if nothing else.

What about the old , Slip .. Slop .. Slap campaign?

 

[Perth Red]

I’m glad I got to watch the game in the 80’s and 90’s is all I can say.

Yeah I’m kinda glad we lost the race to his signature in the off-season

It's also stupid whewn you realise he's 27 years old too!

 

[Last Week]

Yeah, couldn't believe the Nine commentators who have no issue with this garbage in the game.

There's a heap more niggle shit that needs to be stamped out too.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Good to stamp it out now. Give the players an inch and they’ll take a mile. Slap today becomes a turkey slap tomorrow.

Next you’ll want players sent off for tackling. Grow a pair.

Chris Rock was slapped harder.

That happens. Sometimes its cause it was too hard and someone got winded.

Nah, too harsh. I would have reversed the penalty as the more serious breach.

 

[Fangs]

I think it's happened before? Can't remember when exactly but in the last 5 years someone was binned for a slap.

What I don't get is that in game 2, JAC hits a bloke and nothing came of it.

Players open hand slap more often than its penalised. I think Jack Hetherington was an easier target given his reputation.

If striking someone with a closed fist is an automatic bin then doing so with an open fist should be too.
