What about Sloane /Danger then ?
Rorys forearm was raised and got Danger full on.
No, disagree. Rory was trying to tackle/block handpass. He did nothing to protect himself and was cannoned into by Dangerfield, who headbutted his shoulder. All he could have done was to jump out of the way, but no time for that. It is instructive that the MRP report on this one was
exactly correct! They didn't need to embroider/twist the truth.
I feel sorry for Shiel but I also remember the Crows players sitting out matches with concussion - part of the game in a way.
"T
ake Shiel out then go for the ball " - just the same as a tackle ...
No. You tackle when the oppo have the ball.
- isn't that the purpose of the bump - which is still a legal action on the field.
The bump hasn't been banned has it?
No it hasn't, but if you do it, you have the "duty of care" to not get them in the head! If you do, then you are up for panalties.
And I do believe Cotchin was going for the ball. The previous stupid incidents were the ones I though were, in the scheme of things, trivial.
Not directly. He didn't have two hands out to jump on it.
Missing a GF ... sorry
No matter who it is, that punishment must be commensurate with the crime. It is relevant - the same as double demerit points on long weekends
If there's a week for an action, there's a wek for an action! So, I totally agree that there should be no double-demerits points on long weekends, and that you and I should both pay the same price for an apple!
Go Crows
Right on!
