Tom Hawkins is a very small man and a punch from him would carry no significant force.

Yes but if you'll allow me to draw your attention to this selectively chosen still frame of Crouch less than a second after being punched by a 6'5" professional athelete/oaf, you'll see that Crouch is, in fact, soft.

The BigFooty defence rests.

# ? Jun 5, 2017 13:56

hiddenmovement: Sep 29, 2011; "Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."

Furthermore Hawkins has slimmed down a lot in recent years, meaning that punch didnt pack nearly as much force as it could, nay, should have.

You Am I: May 20, 2001; Me @ your poasting

Hawkins is a very model of a polite and kind footballer and therefore Crouch should be suspended for upsetting such a role model of our game.

0.108 is mid range DUI, so he got an on the spot license suspension, and will get a day in court with a 3-12 month driving ban at the end, plus a fine of up to $2,438, and potentially a gaol sentence of up to 6 months (he won't get one of those, not even a suspended sentence)

Connolly was pretty vocal during the strike - he used a post match press conference with a coach (Richardson, I think) to rip Fairfax a new one on live TV. Wonder if that played a role

David King is worried about this new trend of players going to ground after getting punched in the face. Bad for the game, David King says.

It really is the only good AFL show. Gil might be a little marble mouthed sometimes but everything on there is genuine and isn't bullshit like all the other shows.

The Lions are understood to have offered Schache, 19, a base contract of about $350,000, with incentives that would enable him to earn around the $500,000 mark if he played games and performed.
