Tyrone Vickery 'bump' Where will the MRP wheel of fortune land?

[BoxMatrix]

Not sure if it was really a bump. Clashed with Jamison.

Possible outcomes:
0 weeks
1 week
8 weeks
Life suspension

 

[BF Tiger]

Cage fight with Taylor Adams is the only fair outcome.

 

[hardway]

Who know anymore! He had less intent than the buddy one but may have caused more damage. My guess will be 2 weeks

 

[Millky95]

2 down to 1. Easy

 

[Silvagnis]

Real world: three weeks.
AFL's chooklotto world: who knows.

 

[blue harvest]

3 sounds about right

 

[xown]

deserves 3

 

[BF Tiger]

The concussion was almost incidental to the bump. The bump was legit (apart from distance from the ball) and it was the subsequent whiplash of the head/s and head clash that caused the injury.

That said, TV has to own it, and will probably miss a few weeks.

Sigh

 

[Upgrayedd]

2 weeks

 

[Badesumofu]

If he gets any weeks he will get +1 for having been suspended twice last year. Careless high contact gets you 2 weeks for high impact, 1 week for medium. So unless they decide it wasn't a bump at all or some such he's looking at 2+ weeks. He could end up getting more than Adams which doesn't really seem right to me.

 

[D-N-R]

Maybe if people hadn't sooked about Lindsay Thomas's bump, it would be zero, as it should be for an accidental head clash.

As it is, 3 down to 2 (player subbed so impact high at a minimum) and Ty has a bad record, so maybe 3 straight.

 

[Gak Attack]

Shouldn't get a thing as he didn't leave the ground and head contact was accidental. However we know injury not the act is the main deciding factor these days and he did look at him. Given buddy got one week for worse I'm going with life and the stripping of Richmonds points.

 

[BF Tiger]

Jami was taken to hospital but was in the rooms after the game I believe. Could he possibly have been subbed thinking his injury was worse than first thought? If so it might offer TV some hope.

 

[Suma Magic]

Who knows.

Last year I would think he's gone but this year is a lottery.

Please note: I believe what Franklin got was fair.

Franklin's: On the ball. Didn't get off the ground. Player played full game. 2 down to 1
Vickory's: Off the ball. Didn't get off the ground. Subbed out and went to hospital.. 3 down to 2.

Don't act hard done by. Vickory deserves 3. Elected to bump. Got him high. Plus it was off the ball

 

[Suma Magic]

Re-watching I'd say he is gone. Chose to bump, got him high. Duty of care with the bumpee.

 

[DrMike]

Accidental head clash, what precedents exist?

 

[eaglespremiers]

Let's accept that it was accidental.
Does that mitigate the fact that he hit an unsuspecting player high?
He was deliberate in his attempt (probably to wind him) and caused said player concern about being concussed.
I don't care if it was a West Coast player who was facing a report I don't want to see that sort of thing encouraged over 50 metres away from the ball.
I think the duty was on Vickery once he decided to initiate contact. He was clumsy, he should be punished.

Not really, it was a legal block that you see numerous times a game. Vickery didn't apply force to it, he just stood there while Jamison ran into him with no spatial awareness.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

It was cheap, but I didn't think there was much in it.

Probably deserves a week, so he will either get 4 weeks, or 0 weeks with a $10k bonus for pain and suffering.

Colquhoun to provide a post-tribunal summary via twitter regardless of the outcome. Pal!

Here's the video:

That's gotta be a block not a bump, no force from Vickery.

Bullshit. Of the blocks that you see numerous times in a game, how many result in concussion?

Very small %

Wasn't there a Brisbane player that was concussed last year after getting the ball kicked into their head? You want kicking the football removed from the game as well?
