I have no problem with part of what you said in regards with intent to hurt. A bump should make an impact. If the intent was to injure than I do have a problem with it.
There are some here with some over the top theories.
one is that Franklin had intent to injure, that's wrong he went in for the physical and got it wrong.
The other is the theory that the Swans are doctoring their medical report. If our saying that show either show your medical training...
There is the possibility that the MRP can say it was of a serious nature and refer it straight to the tribunal therefore the formula would no longer be relevant e.g. Hall and Solomon.
Ignoring the byplay between the cats and freo fans.
Under this system the MRP have no choice, it wasn’t violent enough to ban but under the old days of a tribunal making a decision a suspension would have been given.
The leg was thrown out when the freo player holding the ball went round...
Nope, not saying that all. Hodge is a very smart player and was fully aware that Murphy was coming in.
However from there we do differ. Murphy wasn't crouched right over the top of it, he was also coming into the ball at the same time as Hodge. Hodge absolutely braced for a collision and...
Interesting one. The difference with the Hodge/Murphy incident is that Hodge was coming in strong to compete for the ball on the ground and Murphy wasn't in the space when Hodge decided to go strong. As opposed to Johnston who was just trying to stop a player and was aware the player was going...
After the NFL study and the Dean Kemp story the game is going to have to accept some differences. The bump stays but players will need to be smarter.
If the rule is if you bump and make contact tot he head in the act of bumping (not secondary action contact) and there consistent with that...
Maxwell made direct head contact with the body though. There was a difference between these 2.
Thomas head clash was incidental as an after an event, not a direct event of the decision.
I'm not saying there have been past ones that haven't been ruled differently. But they should use the new...
If you bump and bump the head you are responsible eg. if the first contact was on the head than he would be gone, that's what happened in the past incidents, first contact was made to the head, not to the body. That was the way it was interpreted in the past and used now.
If there were s**t...
I dont mind Geelong supporters making a defence for Chapman, there is one to make. But the attack on McGlynn's reputation with multiple claims of a diver is disgraceful. The bump/push occured with enough force when unexpectecd to knock him off balance without diving.
Stick to defending your...
Sure, But Cotchin didnt need to dig the arm in the way he did, he had other options. Im not putting him in the thug catogry but the difference between this and last night were the options at the point of collision. Cotchin could haqve werapped the arms or gone in with open palms, lessened impact...
