You miss my point. The ball was dead in the Brisbane/Carlton game. The only response to the pushing etc is to double down. It's farcical. Hewett should be protected by the umpires. His strike should have been suspended but it should never have got to that.

No he didn't, only when Sic flipped him. McGrath will go through his football life as the guy who tried to be tough, got flipped then his arz kicked!🤣

You're right. The issue is why Hewett didn't get a week. All I'd say is the push and shove was all coming from Neale (in this instance) and he got a clip for his trouble. I feel the AFL have to find a way of not just punishing the retaliator. You could argue the AFL through their on field...

Redman not unlucky. He whacked Newcombe in the face with both hands. Not sure if they were fists. Laura Kane made it very clear last week you can only hit people in the face at a stoppage and not away from the stoppage, then you get a week.

If SPP was 4, I can't see this being less than 7. The contact was more aggressive, the ball had been cleared, no other players' actions impacted and Simpkin seemed to be in a worse state than Keane.

Ok benchmark set. Perhaps in all cases of concussion the tribunal is used, for as soon as a high profile player comes up, Chrisso uses the magic matrix and it lands on no case to answer.

Check the extended clip at afl website. SPP was in play and the Adelaide bloke was slung into him and he has done little more than stand his ground. I'm more than happy if he gets weeks but I'd suggest a lot here should be careful what they wish for.

The AFL/1990 bit was nothing but a name change. The AFL never actually began unless you consider re-badging a beginning. VFL Expansion began in 1986 and on-field play in 87 but the style of footy probably remained similar from the mid to late 70's till about 2005. High speed, run and receive...

Some people should try giving votes after watching a game. It's harder than you might think but is pure in its form as it is based on observation and not corrupted by stats etc. Bias can never be removed in any system. I went to a local league GF on Saturday. During the last quarter, we were...

This is the key so many just don't get. He hit him late. Free kick down the ground. He also concussed him, KO'd? I don't like it but take 3. 3 because it was unintentional. If it was intentional 6+ Everyone accepts Maynard was trying to smother - the usual technique of hands in the air...

The final photo in BF Tiger #790 is the key. At this point, Maynard has his hands up in a way he can protect both players. He doesn't.

The more I think about it, Maynard broke a rule of the game in making contact after disposal and it was correctly called a free kick down the ground. There is a clear consequence for Maynard's action. But not only has he broken a simple rule, in breaking that rule he also knocked a guy out. It...

Wondering how much sleep the MRO had last night! What a mine field. Amongst the rubbish comments here there are a few good examples of why he gets weeks and others of why not. I'm thinking in 2023 he gets off. From the angles I've seen the primary intent is to smother. When the collision is...

Not bad but the disadvantage of 5 & 6 opposed to 7 & 8 is massive, even 6 opposed to 13th. By wins they might only be separated by 2 or 3 games. Why not groups of 3, by ladder position - 1,2,3 4,5,6, 7,8,9 etc You play the other 2 teams in your group and a team from each of the other groups...

If you're a member just scan and you can bring, I think 2 others in for free. Check with the club's website about this.
