The most “howlers” I recall ever seeing. Both ways but influenced scoring negatively for us more than them.

Ah the old’ it they got more free kicks’ bullshit excuse

5-6 weeks Brayshaw did lower his head a little but that’s no excuse.

How much did the Crows spend on that ridiculous preseason camp?

Cutler didn't lead with his elbow, his arm was outstretched and then he tucked it in. Under the old rules Cutler would have been reported for charging and Cameron for striking. I'm not sure Cameron even made any contact with his body, it was mainly just his elbow.

It's surprising. They have to argue that his initial jump was a reasonable attempt at a mark and that he had to brace for contact to protect himself. But I guess that's why lawyers exist.

If you look at the video from the point where that photo was taken his elbow is actually moving closer to his body.

Clearly the AFL has an agenda against the Crows. Either that or they want more concussions.

Cancel that Sanity prevails

Fined $2,000 Which sends a message to the competition; Don't tackle hard in case your opponent drops at the knees drawing high contact.

The only reason Cameron didn't get closer to 10 weeks was that it was borderline careless/intentional. If he had jumped with the sole intention of elbowing him extremely hard in the jaw he wouldn't have got only 5 weeks.

Yep it’s everybody against the Adelaide Crows. Crows fans have a bigger victim complex than North fans do. Strange being such a powerful club.

Crows fans are as good at making up their own narrative as Collingwood fans. There’s no attention because the level of force is nowhere near the Cameron incident.

Well I just read up on the new system and the 1 to 2 weeks still seems most likely to me

What about it? How does Queensland effect my footy knowledge.

Why would a Brisbane supporter be less likely to know the rules?

Crows fans have a strange obsession with getting half our team rubbed out for the rest of the season. I guess they’ve had a very tough 12 months.

1 wasn’t a free because he ducked and the other the umpire was blindsided because he was behind the player but it should’ve been picked up.

But it was go through no fault of his own and it was reasonable for McStay to assume Doedee wouldn’t lower his head that much. Prepared to be staggered.

See the Burton incident. I quoted above what Christian said. The high contact was not McStays fault and it was reasonable for him to assume Doedee would keep his feet. This is what he’ll say tomorrow as to why he doesn’t have a case to answer for.

Precedent was set with the Burton bump on Higgins. No free because he lowered his body. Doesn’t get called correctly consistently but is in line with the rules.

I wish he’d go half as hard at the ball as he does the player when he’s tackling.

If he lowered his body to changed direction he still lowered his body, drawing the high contact. Doedee is a similar height to McStay and you can see McStay made an effort to lower himself to tackle fairly. Doedee just went lower.

Yep that’s why I pointed it out.

I said 4-6 weeks from the outset. Others went over the top

Feel free to quote me when he only gets a week.

And as a biased crows supporter you think it needs to be punished.

2 weeks down to 1. Was careless. Shouldn’t have taken his eyes off the ball and braces himself.

Insufficient force will get thrown out

“I think it's really important to understand that he took reasonable care to execute the bump fairly. He couldn't reasonably foresee that there was going to be an accidental clash of heads.” That is what Christian said about Burton’s bump on Higgins earlier in the season. In the first line...
