Griffin Logue seeking an explanation….

So the potential to cause injury clause needs to be changed to potential to cause head injury.

As an aside to this conversation as it involves one of the players, Liam Duggan lined up Wehr and broke his scapula on the weekend. He’s free to play and Wehr is out for two months. McAdam did no damage and is out for three weeks. Bizarro world.

So a player has now been suspended for an act that didn’t actually cause any harm to a player. This is no longer a sporting competition. It’s sports entertainment.

And it’s why they don’t allow precedent to be introduced. They can make it up as they go.

Every tackle has the potential to cause injury. The clause is nonsensical. Just how the AFL likes it.

75 minutes of deliberation…. You can’t uphold a three week suspension if there is this much to discuss.

”This was a bump to the chest and the arm and all of a sudden it's being charged as a head incident … and being elevated to something that it's not," Duggan said. "It can't be thought that you can just come along and use the potential injury clause to simply elevate the seriousness of impact...

The phrase is designed to engineer the outcome they want. The AFL is where hypotheticals are more important than reality.

Wehr wasn’t concussed.

It wasn’t high.

The ‘potential to cause injury’ is farce.

Didn’t see anything wrong with it. Hit him in the chest. No concussion. But ‘the optics’…. The AFL. Where appearance trumps reality.

The game is ****ed.

They’ve purposefully allowed a metric *load of grey area to allow justification of any decisions that are viewed as wrong.

'Careless' Lol.

This.

Can't see Christian being influenced whatsoever.....

Scott Thompson got a week for doing exactly the same thing to Dangerfield. We all know Selwood will get off.

More amazed Blicavs didn't get cited for his coathanger.

I'm guessing three after they spin the wheel.

Four weeks. Silvagni deserves six.

Yeah, he chose to bump. He could have tried to pick up the footy. Should have been graded as intentional.

There is nothing wrong with it at. Except for the fact the way the bump has been adjudicated recently flies in the face of this decision.

What about the 'realistic alternative' criteria? Did Buddy have a realistic alternative? ******* oath he did.

How could that be graded anything but intentional. He even lined him up.

That's....interesting.

He clearly kicked his leg out. Will be fined. Corey McKernan doesn't like this.

ITT: English lesson. Yarran deserves four.

Here's an idea. Just administer the rules properly FFS.
