Footballer gaoled for behind play hit

I smell a potential precedent coming. This better not lead to a slippery slope of changes that will ultimately result in a version of netball that players kick, not throw the ball.

So you think Hall should be charged?

For that, yes. But I guess it would depend on whether Staker wanted to lay charges.

Punching someone out should be assault whether it's on a footy field or in a dark alley in Frankston.

or in a dark alley in Frankston.

It doesnt need to be a dark alley in Frankston to be scary.

Geeze, you can go to jail for two months for punching a bloke nowadays? @@@@. I once punched a kid in the mouth in kindergarten. Should I go to jail too?

People are too soft these days.

He should have taken lessons from plugger on how to do it properly eg like Caven......where he caved his nose in and he only got 8 weeks.
