DEAL

As long as you're there with me. I can tell you the rules of football, you'd learn a lot

I definitely think you’d believe that so it would be good for a laugh and a few eye rolls.

I hope you’re ok mate.

Bit of Bay 13 about this thread

 

[Duckimus Prime]

There was zero chance of him ever getting more than 4

Why not? SPP had 4, and the tribunal even acknowledged there were mitigating circumstances for his. Wright's bump clearly does more wrong than Powell-Pepper so obviously should've gotten a worse suspension.

Well obvious to anyone outside the AFL's media bubble thats changed their mind about long suspensions for collisions that cause concussions because big Melbourne clubs are getting affected.

The lesson learnt is to at least try to ******* contest the ball. Jesus Christ what's wrong with you guys?

Its Essendon, they wouldn't know how to contest the ball. They get told they need to be hard so they start with cheap shots when the ball isn't in play.

 

[hirdylloydy1]

You switch off at finals time?
He's played more than Essendon in the last decade

Funny, you have won just as many premierships as essendon have in the last 11 years

 

[hirdylloydy1]

Because there is football that happens outside of the Melbourne AFL bubbly?

Don’t worry, I can’t recognise half your team. Problem as they are vanilla.

You enjoy your 1 premiership, great club

They are clearly not ok

 

[BloodySwan]

the lesson learned is that wright should not brace, he should have ran through Cunningham and destroyed him in the process, had he he wouldn't have had a case to answer for. basically what FIGJAM said on the couch.

I am not sure how you train for it, nor teach a player how to override human instact, but in reality, that's what he should have done.

Are you saying Wright was protecting Cunningham in knocking him out? I was told he was bracing for himself, but Cunningham should be thanking him for knocking him out!

What’s your September holiday plans?

Interested, as I’m looking for ideas.

Interesting responses

4 weeks is about right

Running in to contest a mark, decides not to mark or spoil, turns, tucks and hits Cunningham high

 

[AndyLucimitis]

In further news, how can a player play over 150 games and no ones ever heard of him until now? I watch nearly every game every round and had never heard of cunningham

What ? You’ve never heard of the Cun-meister ?

It deserved more than 4, I agree, but the AFL fixture limited their options to 4 weeks.

Nah, I've already won the debate so they're playing the man. I'm just taking it with good humour like most should when people have a hissy fit like my 4 yr old.

What debate? Everyone bar Essendon fans agree on 4 weeks

Read my previous posts, it was great, cbf going over it again.

I actually went through quoted posts and it doesn't go anywhere

 

[anotherletdown]

Looks like AFL are going the gutless trial by social media route, always going to get bigger sanctions that way
Would appeal on principle alone. You just know that when a media darling does something like this later in the season they will find a way to weasel them out of it. Bombers lawyers too honest need to recruit some that will lie through their teeth like other teams use

Maybe the Essendon lawyers needed the 'Edge' talk before the hearing? maybe laying a coat-hanger or elbow at a witness or tribunal member might have helped. Good idea

 

[FreoGirl]

Bro you wouldn't be mad if you just thought through your original post. Don't take it out on me.

since when is a female a bro

anyway, 4 weeks - too bad, so sad

 

[mouncey2franklin]

I meant to take a screenshot of the poll results before the official verdict came though.

Here it is a few hours late:



Fwiw, 4 weeks was also the most popular response prior to the result being handed down.

I'm still not 100% sure where I stand on it. It looks like his eyes are only for the ball, but he jumps and turns which is always going to have you in strife.

If he doesn't turn, I think he should have been okay.

I do think we are in general just month by month season by season creeping closer to a very watered down version of AFL and we'll see less and less nig physical contests in the game.

To me we are one concussion away from having the high mark suspendable once someone inevitably gets concussed from a knee to the back of the head one day.

Was in trouble once Cunningham was concussed.
I think even if he went in with the breadbasket arms for the chest mark he'd still get done.
Catches him high, causes the head to hit the ground.
The 4 surprised me over the 3. But it's the tribunal.
2 years ago you were cleared to win a Brownlow for that.
