Past #10: Ben Cunnington - will retire from the AFL after * game - 238 games/95+ goals/2x Syd Barker Medalist/Shinboner - thanks for everything Cunners

[ChoppyGun]

Laird played out the game did he not you guy’s must appeal

I'm not saying we (North) shouldn't appeal.

But the soft * went off and made a big deal of it and the AFL hates that look.

 

[DEVO]

That’s it? He got a week for that? If I was Ben I’d be embarrassed, that’s one of the weakest shoulder chargers I’ve ever seen. My 75 year old mother hits harder than that.

 

[ferball]

LOL.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Him going off the ground doesn’t mean anything.

Yes, it really does.

Result is what AFL look at

 

[gokangas]

Wow. This is a joke, surely. Hun had him suspended before the game finished - front page online.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Please don't think I agree anyone.

I'm just saying how *ed up the AFL is.

 

[Shane Sheridan]

Ridiculous

 

[cznsnowy91]

No way lol, pls appeal that is soft as *

 

[ferball]

Yes, it really does.

Result is what AFL look at

He went off holding his leg didn't he?

The AFL don't appear to have a definition of medium impact but I don't think that hit could possibly qualify.

No wonder etc but I don't know on that, but I do know the AFL is a complete joke so I expect Cunners to miss.

The game is stuffed up completely.

 

[fusion]

WTF? If we don't win an appeal, I think I'll follow another sport. Just about had enough of the AFL.

Their was nothing in it Rory Laird is a weak mutt I hope your club appeal’s it Michael Christian is a muppet also he picks who gets suspended and who doesn’t

 

[muttley45]

Looked to me like he grabbed his knee directly after impact, not his jaw, Medico's probably would have called him off to be assessed for possible concussion, returned to play out game, so no issues there.

Why would he miss?

Don’t say you don’t agree with it but then do your best to justify the AFLs decision.

I'm with you mate trust me. (well done on win the other week)

Laird is a scared little * and any other player just gets up and no issue.

Christian is an idiot.

 

[DrZaius]

Doesn't a concussion test keep you out of the game for 20 minutes? Laird had 83% TOG playing as a midfielder so there's no way he was off for 20 minutes PLUS rotations.

 

[Dan]

I never commented on this issue because I never thought there was an issue.....he didn't make contact with the head.

Nothing more than a free kick at best.

We should challenge this suspension vigorously.

 

[SMaturin]

Was not careless.

Was not medium impact.

Was not high.

 

[Hojuman]

Ben Cunnington, North Melbourne, has been charged with Engaging in Rough Conduct against Rory Laird, Adelaide Crows, during the second quarter of the Round Four match between North Melbourne and the Adelaide Crows, played at Marvel Stadium on Sunday April 11.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Medium Impact and High Contact. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

G.R. have you got the Harbrow incident ?

 

[ChoppyGun]

Was not careless.

Was not medium impact.

Was not high.

They'll get him.

Just watch.

 

[Bulldogs85]

I'm with you mate trust me. (well done on win the other week)

Christian is an idiot.

Byron Pickett would of been suspended for life in today’s game He was my favourite opposition player as a kid

 

[Billy Not Really]

What a soft utensil sport this is becoming.

[DuckYeah]
