Ziebell Hit on McKenzie

[CURLY]

High contact in full view of everyone at the ground yet the umpire somehow missed it.

What was he watching?

Why was it ignored as the force was of the extreme end.

[SaintJohno]

The commentators were saying he hit the ball first so was ok, but that's not a rule is it? Head contact is head contact I thought?

Of course it's not a rule.

The were worried about the MRO.

f****** terrible decision. Just f****** terrible.

[Life Long Saint]

Terrible decision not to pay a free kick.

Ziebell is a grub, too!
I'm trying to think of a more mediocre player to have played 250 games. It's not coming to me.

[CURLY]

Amazing with all the garbage about protect the head one of our players gets belted and its play on.

It's only ok if you knock them out

[skeptic]

Was Ziebell the one that took that cheap shot at Roo years back that was really dangerous?

Completely different but a clown may raise that mark rather than admit it was a mistake.

Of course its completely different!

In one the guy in the Saints jumper did the hitting, and in the other the guy in the Saints jumper got hit.

[SaintPav]

Bud will probably get off too.

[Banger9798]

Pretty much an old fashioned coat-hanger...somehow the commentators tried to make a case for it being play on

One bloke had his head punch off the other made contact with a player coming the other way with the ball. Completely different.

Yes

[skeptic]

Absolutely shocking

A huge difference between a defender wildly swinging an arm at the ball and a forward who attacks the ball and doesn’t even see the defender coming the other way.

If you want to compare Harry Taylor being knocked out, look at the Higgins concussion.

[SaintPav]

Absolutely shocking

How many weeks did Ziebell get for that hit?

[ausfatcat]

It's only ok if you knock them out

That's from 13 years ago times have changed, there was less head protection no concussion rule and was a marking contest, rather than a late spoil that missed the ball (probably had no intention of hitting the ball).

[The Fireman]

Has it been swept under the carpet ?

[ausfatcat]

How many weeks did Ziebell get for that hit?

3 weeks

the boy's got form

and

a week for this one which is basically the same as yesterday's incident

[ace]

Damn, the Saints had a fantastic team at that time.
How did they not win the premiership ?

Star studded, would slaughter every team easily today.

Terrible decision not to pay a free kick.

Not sure if they played 250 but Bryce Squibbs and Andrew Swallow spring to mind. Swallow in particular a non entity as a captain. I used to call him Claude Rains. After the actor who played The Invisible Man. Add Heppell too tho thankfully he’s just done 200. Just no impact on any games ever!

And yeah Ziebell has always been a grub.

Gibbs played 268. 231 of them with Carlton and 37 irrelevant games for the Crows. His nomination is outstanding when you consider he was a number 1 draft pick.
Swallow only played 224.
