Review Dees v the Ancient Enemy: the Good, Bad and the Fugly.

[Gysberts2Bate]

Collingwood are eternally protected. Thats thrice they did that to our players.

Daniel Bell?

 

[Oceanlabxo]

He didn't deliberately try and hit his head. It's a shit accident and horrible for Mihocek but this piss weak nature of everyone gagging for suspensions everytime there's an accident can piss off

There is an ocean of difference between duty of care and deliberate.

Not if you want it to maintain any of the original parts of it being a contact sport

 

[Topkent]

Yeh don’t think malice mate - jus think instinct to bury a player

The AFL's own prosecution used 'Frampton should have let him go' as a defence

That shows how stupid the suspension was to begin

It's not about gagging for suspensions, it's about wanting to see the rules applied consistently.

 

[Topkent]

It's not about gagging for suspensions, it's about wanting to see the rules applied consistently.

What rule? He got a free kick for holding the ball and then got suspended only because Mihocek was hurt after the fact. There was like multiple tackles like that in the game but the blokes head didn't get stuck awkwardly

This was basically a freak incident so I’m not sure what consistency you’re talking about.

The AFL's only line of prosecution in the case was be should have foreseen damage and released the tackle. So basically stop playing the game
If that doesn't prove it was a flawed logic nothing does

 

[Dancing Potato]

Has "DILLON" tattooed on his knuckles now because this goes to the top and Dan's coming for him

Presumably this means his left hand says DILL?

If it was a Cwood player who was injured then the offending MFC player would be looking at a lengthy ban.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. I don't care enough to keep it going

Nuffy take.

You’d be spewing if we got a player rubbed out for what Frampton did.

Seemed like a prosecution that didn't really believe in their case.

I thought we were addressing consistency? Never mind.
I would only be "spewing" if the same rules and judgement were applied differently. As they were in the Frampton case.
Succumbing to the zeitgeist and failing to recognise the preferential treatment handed out to Cwoods only perpetuates it.

Consistent to what? What are you comparing it to

What inconsistency are you actually talking about? What similar incident has resulted in a Melbourne player being suspended?

I don’t necessarily think he needed to miss games

But, I do feel like it could have been avoided if he rolled in the tackle - don’t think that’s a stretch as that actually helps protect yourself too

Agree letting go isn’t an option

You do realise his feet left the ground when Mihocek moved into him? How in the hell is he supposed to roll. People are acting like Mihocek was bent over weight about 15 kegs just asking to get manipulated around

 

[Simon_Says]

I have sat on this for some time.
ill try not to aay anything every other poster has already said.
Cant say ive read every post though lol

5 things I loved from Monday.
1. Kicking the Goals out of our Ass! Absolutly! it just looked fun! The Insane Paddy Cross Goal on the Boundary, Fritta doing fitta things (cant split the goal running into the pocket or the spin off a step in tight) Langford from the Pocket, Petty Stepping though 3 Collingwood players, snap!
2. Clutch Tackles, at Clutch Moments. Harvey Langford Take a bow! I love this kid, I love the way he plays. Hes going to be Box Office! Proper Gander knows he is my Guy! That Tackle on Repeat.
3. Lever Down Back was Enourmous. My general!
