Brett Goodes: How many weeks?

[SeaWind]

Off the ball head high bump on a Demons player, about medium impact.

Considering the May incident, you'd think he'd get at least 2 reduced to 1.

if the demon gets up then it wont be anything other than should be a high free kick.

4 or 5 but the sniper is injured so it dosent matter

 

[HTPunter]

I saw posts saying if he goes for that "the bump is dead"???

I mean, the rule is so ******* clear - you choose to bump, you get the player high, you're gone.

Steven May has more reason to be hard-done by than Goodes.

Depends on 'contact', but I think 3 down to 2 is reasonable. Wouldn't go as far as calling him a 'dog'/'sniper' (really...) but it's not great and it's not like the new interpretation on head high contact rule is new...

4 or 5

kek, someone clearly has 0 understanding of how the rules work.

But different to the May incident chief. Ran at a player not watching left the ground and hit the head with shoulder. Had intent to be dirty too

It's more on the ball than off. Jones should've been more aware. But it's a needlessly and recklessly high bump and it looks like it left him pretty dazed.

The medical report could add a week.

May got 3 down 2 for knocking someone out innocently. If Jones was concussed then the same suspension probably applies at a minimum if not 4 to 3. If he was ok and just subbed as a precaution then maybe he gets very luck and gets away with 1.

Considering he's injured they may as well err on the side of stamping this stuff out.

Players are so poor at protecting themselves from a bump these days, just conditioned not to expect it. That said, if he got him high he's in a bit of strife.

 

[grouse mate]

he jumped into him rather than stay low, absolutely gone.

Garlett's head high bump on M Boyd which left him dazed in the last is more likely to get looked at

 

[LeverPuller]

The Demon (Matt Jones) was subbed almost immediately.

 

[spenze]

If it was his brother, he wouldn't be facing a charge, let alone a punishment

 

[MUYB]

Left the ground, made flush contact with Jones head, Jones subbed off with concussion.

Goodes has form on this too, ugly sniper.

 

[NT.Thunder]

He'll go, more than likely also has a broken arm and is in pretty ordinary form so really not sure the suspension means anything - probably played his last AFL level game IMO

5 down to 4, what a dirty doggy.

 

[schmuttt]

If they gave May 3 I think this gets 4-5.

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Got offered a week.

 

[anditsadraw69]

Staggering that this got one week compared to May's 3. Staggering.

 

[Struggle]

This is a case where there was no other realistic option, cant tackle or go for the ball. Deserved to go and probably should have more than a week, but what other options were there?

 

[MUYB]

Absolute joke.

Could start by not leaving the ground to bump. If you do that and you make head high contact you should be in serious trouble.

I'd love to read the Melbourne medical report. If Jones really had concussion then he's lucky to get medium impact. Is a mild concussion less serious than Rockliff's big concussion?

I really think the tribunal puts too much weight on impact and on carelessness v intentional. It then only gives itself 4 possible choices and you end up with these strange gradings.

Anyway. He's out for a while anyway so I don't care too much about how long he got I just feel sorry for May and others who will get more for less.

Goes to show L.Matthews knows * all about footy these days. He said it was a fair bump.

Well to only get one week it's not far of a fair bump according to the MRP
