Vent thread

That shouldn't have even been a free kick let alone a suspension. What a joke of a decision.

 

[Taylor]

Medium impact? Okaaaay

 

[serial_thrilla]

If we were Carlton we'd get it overturned by any means necessary. But because we're Freo we'll just roll offer and accept it.

 

[ImperialPurple]

How is it high contact?

 

[Nodgey]

He should have punched him. Punches only attract fines these days. This is the modern game....

 

[Sir Deadly]

That surely goes straight to appeal

 

[Schauermann]

Don't like it. Perhaps appeal on principle. But not much to bother with. We have Erasmus and Brodie who can cover.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Appeal

 

[Cobbler]

I’m genuinely at a loss.

I wasn’t even sure it was a free kick. Even on replay.

I mean, sure his head makes contact with the ground but Spargo weighs what? Unsure what JOM can do other than lay the tackle he has laid. His head contact was minimal.

Spargo has an arm free, so not as if the player can’t brace. He chose to hold the ball and not release it.

Other than that. Medium?? Yeah nah on that. It’s not even bloody careless. It’s a great tackle and Spargo contributes to the decision as opposed to JOM forcing it.

Like I said massively at a loss to how that one was adjudicated.

 

[Sweetback]

The slinging action was what he was always going to get in trouble for

 

[Taylor]

Well Laird is getting a ban then too. Both opposition players up immediately

 

[King Tenz]

Hopefully we get a new lawyer for when we challenge it, whoever we've been using the last 2 years or so has been clueless.

 

[kdw8]

Challenge it please

 

[Dockernut]

WHAT A LOAD OF ******* HORSEHIT!! Anyone in their right mind could see that little turd dived into the ground to make it look worse than it was. * right off MRO.

 

[King Huskii]

I just don't see it

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Challenge please. Head didn’t hit the ground. Player was fine. I know they’ve been strict on these all year but to me it should not be high contact.

 

[kingswood71]

I would argue the medium impact, unless they pull out the good old "potential to cause injury"....
Silicy's was also graded medium and the bloke he hit actually stayed down for a few seconds...
Melbourne bloke bounced straight back onto his feet.
Low impact at best.

 

[mattis117]

Have to appeal that, it's neither medium impact or high. What fk wit is making these adjudications?

 

[ilikepotatoes]

He's gone.

I don't agree.

But as soon as a free kick was paid it was always gonna be a game.

 

[kingswood71]

Then you look at the 2 from yesterday....Both graded medium....
Cerra's tackle, the blokes head bounces off the turf.

 

[Alfonz]

Absolute joke. The slinging action is actually instigated by Spargo flinging himself to the ground for a free kick. He had his arms free and had a chance to dispose and then chose not to. Should have been holding the ball.

 

[BettercallSaul]

How is it high contact?

Exactly. I’ve watched the replay and his head does not hit the ground. Club should appeal.

 

[Ge3ks]

He had his arms free

You sure? The alternate replay angle showed that O'meara had Spagos left arm pinned behind his back, almost chicken wing style.
