TOPIC:

Also two incidents in the Melb v StKilda game which will surely be a couple, hit on Chris dawes (punch to the neck/chin) and also the hit on McEvoy (dangerous bump to the head/neck).

Didnt see the Petrie or Harvey incidents, but they will be big losses for NM. I dont think Harvey should retire, he is the first one tagged in his team, which shows he has a lot more to offer than.....well.....anyone else in his team. Maybe that shows the lack of gamebreakers/damaging players at North, but I think he is a great player, still has his pace and can win games off his own back. Crowley has got the better of nearly everyone he is tagged, but all of them shouldnt retire, neither should Boomer.

surely clarke on petrie has to be looked at. Not surprised Petrie did what he did with a clown grinding his elbow against his face. High contact, intentional ... Petrie couldn't even see what he was doing so his will be classed as reckless I would think.

both players got off (clarke and Petrie)

Petrie due to clarke grinding his forearm across the guys had which as I said meant Petrie couldn't see what he was doing.

Harvey got nothing.

Simpkin, johnson, embley and Spencer from Melbourne were all given penalties.
