Peter Carey suspension for attempted striking

[Rushby Hinds]

LL or someone, can u remember this?


Many moons ago Super was found guilty of attempted striking (he missed) and missed both the Bays losing finals that year.


(I can't remember if Glenelg took it to the supreme court.....)

I can remember the Bays investigated whether they could claim both the magoos and league games as a match each, but that didn't work.

1984 during the Qualifying Final against Central. He then missed the 2nd Semi against Port and Prelim against Norwood.
I also can't remember if the Bays took it further (eg: Supreme Court) but I know that Graham Campbell to this day claims it cost them a flag. Probably the most ridiculous charge ever invented "attempting"(WTF) to strike.

Inaccurate b@stards cost us a flag.

FFS!

[Adelaide Hawk]

And there I was thinking it was Norwood who cost them the flag

Don't remind me.

Russell Ebert is culpable as well.

But gee, we had the wood on Glenelg that year - 4, zip.

If Cupido's "hit" got 1 game then Carey's attempt should have got 18 games.
Can't have it both way lads.

Carey's charge was lesser than Cupido's. Therefore if Cupido got a game, Super should have got a slap on the wrist.

In a perfect world Cupido would have got a reprimand, and Super wouldn't even have fronted the tribunal.

I disagree, I think attempting to hit someone as opposed to not hitting someone nor attempting to hit someone is definately a much worse charge.
I saw the Carey incident and I saw the Cupido incident, both live and both on TV and both from a non-biased point of view (if anything I was hoping for a Glenelg win last week).
Not even comparable, you're clutching at straws or are so biased that you shouldn't be commenting on either incident if you claim otherwise.

So Kewpie doll was up on a charge of not-striking? That vile Panther did, with forethought and malice, not-hit McConnell?

The vicious bastard! May the law show him no mercy!

I don't care what he was up on a charge of, he did nothing nor attempt to do anything, anyone that calls that a strike is following the wrong game or has vested interest in not liking South.
I don't care what charge and umpire made nor do I care about what resulted in that charge when it comes to assessing the 2 incidents.
Common sense is the only thing Im interested in when it comes to comparing the 2 incidents.

And that doesn't even take into account that players regularly got games for attempting to strike in the early 80s where in the 00s players can rape, pillage and murder and not get a game.

...in the 00s players can rape, pillage and murder and not get a game.

Can the tribunal suspend players for the things they do off the ground?

Not that we want to transcend through different era's lads.Wonder if Cupiedough even knows who Super Carey is?

Correct me if I am wrong but didnt Carey get reported the year before or after for striking around finals time - found guilty but repremanded -- Seem to recall at time discussion that attempting was more serious than actual

Yep, it makes sense though if you put some thought into it.
Attempted murder is more serious than tapping someone on the shoulder.

LOL

[leftlegger]

geez, i am struggling to follow your logic on this one wedgie

[matt]

The funny thing is that if 'attempted striking' was still a suspendable offence then Cupido would definitely have gone, iirc. From the reply on the news following the verdict he definitely took a swing at McConnell, and a big one* at that.

[stampy]

the last minor round game of 1985 for smacking johnny paynter i reckon and supe got off and he admitted later he was as guilty as sin
