will leo be suspended for whacking higgins

[i'm-uninformed2]

I hope so because if you haven't been in 14years of footy you are soft.

I wouldn't say soft, i'd say disciplined. Obviously Higgins was starting to get the better of him as were the whole Bulldogs side, but from the replay it doesn't look great. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks.

Would be the softest "striking" charge in the history of the game. Won't make it to the tribunal.

Hardly the softest - he did hit him in the face and knock him down.

shouldnt make a difference to him, when he announces his retirement this week

Exactly which is why he should have really polished him off with a beauty

[Primmy]

He and Higgins were having a friendly after the game. Obvously Higgins didn't think it was all that awful.

[LRTs LoveChild]

Yeah pretty soft if he goes for it. But 14 yrs without a report will probably see him get off if its does end up in the tribunal.

That said, if Leo goes for that soft as butter tap then Welsh should go as well for whack on LRT.

Looked fine to me. A reflexive attempt at a tackle which happened to go high. There was no "strike" about it. He just stuck his arm out there, and Higgins ran into it. Not Higgins' fault, but not a strike. Couldn't believe it when he was reported.

Hear hear.

All clear - charge dropped
