It's also undeniable that his hands were out to protect himself on the way down. Anyway, the AFL will argue for four weeks, he argues for two and he'll get three.

He lets go when he is horizontal and on his way down, he might have been better positioned if he'd let go earlier or not held his arm in the first place.

Its a s**t tackle but I reckon the one on Brown was worse - both arms pinned as opposed to none when Gray hits the ground for a start - and it only cost Grundy 2 weeks.

 

[ferball]

Nothing like it. Brown had both arms pinned.

And Grundy drove him into the ground harder while Brown was trying to keep his feet.

Severe impact on tripping.

What? Did he break his leg in half?

Fisher is out for the season with a broken leg.

Well then.

Deserves what ever he gets. 2 weeks for striking + whatever he gets for tripping should be season over.

Will use the Fletcher defence.

 

[Harris 10]

I’m not comfortable that you can punch a bloke in the head off the ball and only get two weeks.

Joel Selwood just lucky that his last 2-3 throw out the leg efforts didn't result in a broken leg.

Exactly, which doesn’t sit well with me. You need to have a heavier weighting to the action and not the outcome.

Nice bit of acting by Merrett too

 

[Val Keating]

Zack Jones seems very dumb to me.

Seems like he’s lost the plot lol
In his head and all

I have no problems with Jones being reported, but I suspect that a lot of players would not have been reported for either of those brain snaps. How many times have we seen Fyfe, Buddy and others who are crowd pleasers or AFL favourites get away with those kind of things? Sean Higgins is taken out by a deliberate charge that resulted in a facial injury, but the AFL excuses it with barely a shrug.

If they are serious, they rate every head knock that came as a result of a decision taken by a player (as opposed to genuine accidents), and every punch without exception as reportable. Picking and choosing, and highlighting the "bad guys" on their own web site while making bull s**t excuses for their "good guys" is unacceptable.
