Down with this sort of thing...

Whenever JOE steps out onto the pitch we like to consider ourselves as a tough but fair opponent. Just like Gary Lineker, we also went through our entire career without ever picking up a single yellow card... seriously, we did. On that note, we would never do something like this. Take a look at this powerful punch from Richmond's Tyrone Vickery on West Coast Eagles veteran Dean Cox during the throw-in. The timing of this punch is strangely ironic because it came less than a week after Cox – a six-time All-Australia player – announced that he'd retire at the end of the season due to injuries. Happy retirement mate. Cox was knocked  unconscious from this punch and, all of a sudden, his decision to retire looks like a smart one. Take a look at it again. Ouch.
