It was careless not intentional. I assume there will come a time when if you choose to protect yourself or bump it will be intentional, but we arent there yet.

And if thry retire your career ends as well...

If Heeney did that to Chol it 100% would not have even been mentioned by the MRO. Gulden didnt even push back he thought so little of the contact.

And a Port player gave away a free for a dangerous tackle in this game with no mention by the MRO. The issue is zero consistency. These tackles have to be stopped but ignoring ones which do no damage wont change behaviour. Hand out fines or 1 week for the ones with no injury, 2 or 3 or more for...

A Port player was pinged for a dangerous tackle but no MRO mention ? Again we are only giving weeks if a player is injured and no penaltg if the tackler is lucky ?

Independent doctors are far more likely to be overly cautious and pull every player every time.

Swans fake called for a stretcher a few years ago. This isnt new. If the call is made there needs to be a significsnt impact like the player cant return for 20 minutes or more. A real injury there is no issue, and it penalises the fakes.

A football tribunal giving 2 shits about anything at all unrelated to the incident is ludicrous.

They dont care. They are focussed on the next gambling partner contract and how much more they can squeeze out of crypto.com by having as many unneccessary score reviews as possible.

Think bigger. Nobel Peace Prize !!

Cameron is a better human being than Barrass according to the Tribunal. Australian of the Year award incoming.

"Phobia" really has changed its meaning over the last 10 or 15 years.

The Tribunal said Medium. They could have just gone with Low for those reasons. Instead they created a mess all on their own. And the AFL stupidly didnt appeal.

Also ignores the fact that fines replaced low-end suspension only about 10 years ago, so all the yester-year players who copped a week could well have only got a fine. And it was only yesterday when mid-end suspensions became fines, sometimes.

Did you think Sicily deserved 2 weeks for his McCluggage tackle ?

Yep. The AFL once again proving how much of a joke they are. Just rate it Low and then give the fine. Why the * would you uphold Medium and then give a fine instead of the week it is meant to be? Obvious answer is so when its a Brownlow favourite they can do the same thing. If the AFL had...

The MRO just makes it up as he goes. Lever was uninjured and its Medium. Couple of weeks ago a Hawthorn player was slammed head first into the ground in a tackle and was unaffected and no free and no MRO comment. They really are driven by the media.

Now show some of the king hits from yesteryear that may have caused CTE. Cos that is way cool.

Early pleas used to be a thing. Now there really is no downside in wasting the Tribunal's time by conesting the charge. Maybe the AFL needs to start increasing it by a week.

Twice last year and the season is still young. We all know the answer here.

Based on other penalties its 1 week. Demons fight it and lose. So stupid dropping his arm and clipping late. Pointless and dumb.

False claims? Would you says its a conspiracy ?

Under Hardwick it would be -34 because of his style of play. He has changed things with the Suns.

That is dumb. There is 0 chance the Tribunal downgrades. Even if the truly bizarre happens the AFL appeals. The lawsuits are lining up and will add individual names not just the organisation if they dont take it seriously.

Durham headbutted Ross to draw a high free which the umpire rightly ignored. Then another Saint clipped Durham's head on the way through. Then Ross took him high in his tackle but rolled Durham which reduced the risk. There isnt much more Ross could have done after Durham dropped his head into...

Of course it matters if either of the 2 earlier head hits caused the concussion.

Sicily got 2 weeks for a tackle which got him a free and had him bring McCluggage down on top of him which is what the AFL recommended at the time. But in this case there were 3 separate head contacts so how would they know which caused the concussion. Like Chol and May last week. May collided...

Drove his head into Ross to get the high contact free, plus another Saints player clipped his head on the way through. Ross was rolling him in the tackle too. There may be a charge but quite likely gets off or reduced at the Tribunal.

Anyone here reckon a Lions player doing that to Pendles or Daicos gets less than a week ?
