Common sense if you read the tribunal guidelines.Not sure where this claim that all concussions are automatically rules as 'severe impact' but I just can't see where this is the case under current MRO classification rules. It's the medical report detailing the nature of the concussion which makes it so.
However, it seems obvious to me that the MRO will now be guided by the recently revised AFL guidelines to the tribunal with regard to head knocks and community expectations and will therefore rate any concussion as being severe impact.e
You know that wont be the standard. Shit gets made up depending on who it is and when it is and nobody ever has to answer to it. And everyone just keeps handing over hard earned and frollicking along to the ball sport equivalent to the WWEPretty incredible that they accept Pep wasn't looking to bump and was trying to tackle, that he made a reflex action as Keane was slung in to him, and still got 4 weeks.
If they really do use that as the standard this year by round 20 a lot of clubs will be struggling to field a team. Let's see what happens.
Out for a fifth of the season basically. Well if this is the standard by which all infringements will be judged going forward then so be it. But we shall see.4 weeks because he’s playing for a non Vic side.

Doesn't the preseason game count as 1 week?Out for a fifth of the season basically. Well if this is the standard by which all infringements will be judged going forward then so be it. But we shall see.
The AFL and media cheerleaders love making an example and especially if they're indigenous.SPP on the back of another mind bending suspension like his 3 weeks for being in a nightclub. Dude must have been caught spanking the Mum of some high ranking AFL official.
But concussion isnt Linear, there is plenty of factors involvedCommon sense if you read the tribunal guidelines.
The AFL doesn't have the guts to say Concussion = Severe in black and white, because they want wriggle room, but they do say "The absence of injury does not preclude the classification of impact as Severe" ergo a concussion is about as severe as it gets.

What does that even mean? If you are concussed you are concussed. The AFL don't care, they want to eliminate concussion.But concussion isnt Linear, there is plenty of factors involved
What will knock person A out, will make person B have a headache and person C will have no acute affects. Its a backwards way of looking at it
Nor in this case was all the force SPPs fault instead of Rioili's
They can't. No matter what.What does that even mean? If you are concussed you are concussed. The AFL don't care, they want to eliminate concussion.

That's irrelevant.Carn REH
Talking about impact
Concussion isnt Linear
Meaning that the impact needed for a concussion isnt linear
I even provided a paragraph below that for you..
Looking forward to how consistent the tribunal will be this year. Pep was careless but it is as close to a footy accident as you will get. He had no intention of causing harm. Four weeks for an unfortunate accident, cant wait to see what a deliberate hit gets from the tribunal.
There never has and never will be consistency in the law courts, so why would you expect consistency from an AFL tribunal that is set up like a quasi legal system?Why are people asking for consistency?
A) each situation is different.
B) afl
Actually. 4 weeks plus 2 Sanfl games to get back to speed.
6 weeks.
