Im sorry have we all forgotten what happened in the Rich v Coll game a few weeks ago?

McGuane was pinching Clokes face, even going as far as putting his finger in Cloke's MOUTH and then Cloke BIT HIS FINGER....

McGuane then complained to the umpire before withdrawing the complain later AND

No-one was suspended.

This kind of thing happens all the time on the bottom of packs honestly - who cares?

Or is this blow-up all because its Judd - the Messiah! Get over it he's just a bloke that can play football, he's only human and he'll make mistakes.

Imagine if it was Dennis Armfield doing it would anyone even care, would it even get replayed?

What a flower joke!

Im surprised Fev didnt get suspended for kissing Thompson a few weeks back, that was intentional conduct, low impact and high contact

Well thats just @#$%&! rubbing it in now isnt it

so they couldn't prove 'eye gouging'??

I think what he did to Campbell Brown was worse.
Juddy does not strike me as the type of guy that regrets much in life. He strikes me as the type of guy that might think, well I have copped much more over 10 plus years of footy than I have dished out. Life is good.

I reckon he'd have been offered 6 minimum had he'd actually eye gouged. His pressure point explanation was worth at least a week alone for admitting to doing something that stupid, so I reckon the penalty is about right.

..folks shouldn't be watering it down, nor trying to deflect.. ..what Judd did was stupid, how he tried to worm out of what he did by claiming some chuck norris tuition was even dumber, and he should cop whatever he cops, and we all should face it, and move on.. ..simple as that..

didn't cause physical pain or damage.. reprimand is more appropriate ...3 weeks is a joke

..media won, in only so far as capturing vision/footage of what Judd did.. ..once we all got a good look at it, something had to be done.. ..while i think the suspensions that buddy and monga got were not warranted [good legal bumps i think], what Judd did wasn't within the rules of the game.. ..pure and simple..

..you cant stand over someone that's on the ground, and then reach down and start poking them in the face.. ..whether you aim for the eyes, try to fish-hook, attempt kung fu, whatever.. ..you can't.. ..it's a weak dog act to stand over someone on the ground that's actually wrestling/entangled up with another person.. ..and you then proceed to try a cheap shot/move..

..neither did Lynchy's windmills in that granny, but he copped what he copped, and he deserved it.. ..Juddy can count himself lucky he didn't actually go the full eye-gouge, cos it sure looked like its what he was intending.. ..and bottom line, we all know he got off vs brown, and they're just happy to even the ledger.. ..stupid move by Juddles, and in a kooky way he's forced their hand..

take the 2 and walk

It is an ugly incident that doesn't need protracted media attention

what physical harm or damage did his action cause rischitelli?

the majority of the penalty was for 'intention high contact' ...that caused no physical pain or damage ...simply a play on words ..3 weeks is a joke

..am hearing what yer saying Budzy, but it's irrelevant.. ..just cos you didn't actually cause any pain/injury doesn't change the fact that he tried to do something.. ..hell, by his own stupid stupid admission of the whole pressure point garbage, he was trying to inflict pain.. ..and while i agree that in isolation, poking someone in the face sounds soft, in the context of the situation [and lucky he didnt actually get the eyes] he was gonna cop it..
