Does Hawthorn have double standards?
Not at all. Hawthorn is the toughest club in the AFL, and has a fair few of the toughest players. Buddy’s bump on Cousins was unintentional. He didnt go in to hurt Cousins and hadn’t planned on taking Cousins out of the game. At that stage of the game the Hawks had the win in the bag. The low dog/pig lloyd either planned or was told by the coach to take Sewell out because the Hawks were smashing the Bombers in the midfield, clearances, tackles, and obviously on the scoreboard. Buddy had like 50cm to react, pigdog lloyd ran up from about 4/5 metres away. I dont have double standards, nor do Hawks supporters. In my opinion the tribunal girls should have let both Buddy and pigdog lloyd off. But it doesnt change the fact that lloyd’s bump was a cowardly, intentional low act.
