Interesting comments you make D-ted but im sure there are two sides of the story. You should consider both sides before you rant on here about the “weakest acts you will see on a footy field.” Girls winge, But before i start lets make this clear i have no affiliation with Thornlie or Wanneroo. I just wanna report what i saw...............
Some facts that you forgot to mention......
1) you say #23 from Thornlie hit a bloke in the last quarter and had this person sent off for the blood rule. You forgot to mention that the player concerned threw punches in the altercation that he was sent off for the blood rule for. both parties throwing punches results in a fight, The looser of a fight usually bleeds, so I dont think this person was singled out and hit so he would have to leave the field.
Why your players would fight when so far in front is anotyher issue for another thread, but needless to say not very bright at Wanneroo hey?????
2) To king hit someone according to the Maquarie dictionary is to punch forcibly and without warning, I believe there was sufficient warning to walk away and leave it and the punch wasnt un expected as the dictionary says
3) The said player who got hit came running onto the ground at the end of the game and went to #23 to shake hands. I believe he then walked about 3 or 4 steps away and started giving abuse about being fat and calling him a body part that all girls have. I believe he was told to shut his mouth and walk away otherwise if he went on he would get a smack in the mouth. Im told from reliable people that he walked back and continued on mouthing off and abusing the player concerned, so true to his word #23 smacked him in the head.
Knowing the Roch for many years 1 thing i can confirm is if he tells you he will smack you in the mouth, there is a fair chance he will smack you in the mouth
This is clearly not a king hit. Its more an act of stupidity, and logic says the player concerned may have got what he deserved??????
As for 1 dickhead tarnishing a clubs image, take a close look into your own backyard, it may have been your players throwing the rubbish out at Thornlie, abusing them and not being gracious in victory. Now which club has the tarnished image, I cant see any innocent bystanders here on either side based on facts????
Oh and for the record I dont think you guys will get close to Bull Creek Leeming anyway, Me ill be involved in another grand final, looking to best avoid the hangover
