So off the ball elbows to head draw same or lesser penalty than spoil gone wrong. Brilliant stuff.

That AFLPA gig has perks.

At least the ball was in the same hemisphere.

While he couldn't have pulled out completely as you have momentum in a spoiling contest, he was very late, the Crows player had jumped off the ground and taken the ball cleanly with both arms extended above his head (didn't fumble or juggle at all) and had almost landed with the ball down around chest level before McDonald even got to him. McDonald knew before he got there that it was a mark because he tried to contest the ball when it was around his chest level and it was already a mark by then and he would have known it. You can't see someone take the ball above the head and contest the ball at chest level and not realise it was a mark. He should have made every attempt to minimise contact by just putting his arms out to cushion the force of running into him.

It seemed obvious as day that he knew he had taken the mark and he wanted him to "earn it" but he executed poorly because he concussed him.
He was lucky he didn't get a higher grading.

This shouldn't be confused with legitimate spoiling attempts where the contact was made at the point the opponent got hands to the ball, McDonald was late enough to know it was a mark already and could have minimised contact.

NORTH Melbourne midfielder Ben Cunnington has been offered two fines for separate striking incidents stemming from Friday night's loss to Port Adelaide.

The first case was against Robbie Gray during the first quarter and was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body.

The second incident saw Cunnington elbow Brad Ebert during the third quarter and was graded as careless with low impact to the head.

Both were classified as second striking offences, which carry a fixed financial sanction of $5000, or $3000 with an early guilty plea.

Meanwhile, teammate Jasper Pittard can also accept a fine after being charged by the Match Review Officer with striking Port's Connor Rozee in the first quarter.

The charge carries a $2500 fine for a first offence, dropping to $1500 with an early guilty plea.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

He really does love Cunnington

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

He really does love Cunnington

Pays Christians salary.

 

[Devington]

Dodged a couple of bullets there to be honest.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

10k in fines.

LOL.

 

[Roosurgence]

Is there actually any evidence that Pittard struck Rozee? Looked like he was staging for a free kick.

Surely if he did actually make contact that is the definition of insufficient force?

LOL.

Lucky Cunners isn’t a rookie, it would probably cost him to play footy otherwise lol

If it was for that incident then seriously, the process is just corrupt. Bloody what's 'is name from Geelong gets away with what should have been a suspendable offence, s did Fyfe, Mitchell, even dusty before this year. At least be even handed FFS.

 

[gokangas]

Cunners playing for nothing this year. We might have to run a trivia night to raise some funds for him.

Star of the competition rule.

Pittard getting fined for that is a joke. Rozee should be fined for staging.

He flopped all night. He will quickly become hated unless he gets that out of the game. Embarrassing.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Cunners, for 10 large I'll punch both of the campaigners!

He should appeal the Ebert pinch.

 

[Snake_Baker]

What did Sammy Wright get for the "dangerous tackle"?

 

[Billy Not Really]

Much like George Costanzas 'The Human Fund', we're going to need the 'Cunnington Fund'

 

[Dan]

LOL he got off on both charges?!?!!?

Where was this luck when Ziebell was getting screwed over?

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Wow, I'm shocked on Cunners.

You can make a case either way for the Ebert one, so a fine is a compromise.

But I thought he was gone on the Gray punch. I mean, he has priors, and Gray was off the ground for a fair bit of time. I reckon Port's medical report may have done us a huge favour.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

What did Sammy Wright get for the "dangerous tackle"?

Straight to the tribunal - looking at 4 weeks minimum. Intentional, high impact, and the bloke didn’t even have the ball for 1/8th of the tackle!

 

[Sideburns Ahern]

There is no truth to the rumour that Christian informed Pittard - if you're going to snot the little smart arse, make sure he doesn't get back up.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Doesn't 3 fines mean week off? or is it just inelligible for Brownlow now?

 

[hilly]

Wowee lucky.
