Yes, anyone he has coached is an angelDermie carrying on like an absolute cabbage about the Williams suspension…

Has absolutely nothing to do with it you muppet.

Wilkie looks more of a gun lockdown player than the elite intercept type of player.That is Wilkie, he is our version and just like those two, is AA bound. Plays on various heights of forwards, reads the ball well, disposes the ball well and is a leader. That is Wilkie.

Actually quite different I reckon... when long met macrae had just collected the ball, didn’t leave the ground and had less time time to choose his contact... long held his ground and macrae dropped quite low which made it very difficult for long to alter the impact.Convicted under the Ben Long “potential to do harm” act.
Now let’s see if it applies to Cotchin, Fyfe, Dangerfield and Lynch.
We all know precedent doesn’t really apply to the big names.

Williams was late, launched and cleaned up Clark, could have easily not collected him high.

But you are 100% right about danger or Fyfe, no chance they get suspended for Long's bump.
We are all hoping he has a great season because his use of the football is very good , by all accounts he has stepped up another level this year so he could be great value in your super coach side.Thinking of picking Sinclair for supercoach.
Is this backline position change locked in? Can he keep churning out high disposal numbers?
No current season stats available
I was pretty annoyed about the change a few years ago when the injury became considered in the punishment, specifically because so much of that is beyond anyones control (the fact that Clark wasnt KOd by the Williams hit is some act of God or Hunters head being made of Steel).
Ill also never ever recover from Koby Stevens laying a perfect tackle and getting a holding the ball only to be suspended two days later for it.
ANYWAY
Williams could have gotten more, he could have also gotten off.
One week feels about right given we all have to accept the system and the outcome.
It makes no difference to us and we know that precedence counts for nothing in our MRP so *shrugs shoulders* eh.
Im happy with any consistency at all from the MRP. I still have issues with the "potential to cause injury" it just seems to wishy washy (any tackle has the potential to cause injury, what if you baulking causes a defender to blow a knee out? etc).I'm just happy that the AFL maintained consistency in the "potential to cause injury" argument. Now we just need to see that properly applied to a star player, and the careless high-shot will be well-on-the-way to being out of our game.
There'll always be an accidental high-shot here or there, but within the context of actual football, and not recklessly leaving the ground to make a late contest you have no hope of influencing, it is a reasonable thing to try and bring to the bare minimum instances, for the sake of all the players.

I have a humble pie ready to eat just in case but i don't think the leaving the ground thing is even part of what they use to determine the outcome of a clash of bodies , same as the holding the ball 360 deg , im pretty sure these are just terms made up but are not part of the laws or guide lines
A lot of what you say is true but its still possible to leave the ground and hit someone fairly without any head high contactLeaving the ground probably isn't clearly defined in the rules, however it would surely come into play regarding whether something was negligent, reckless or intentional, particularly regards with contact to the head.
Once you have left the ground, it would completely rule out the argument that you were simply negligent, which I would define as failing to eliminate risk, whereas recklessness involves the introduction of further risks.
As for the holding the ball matter, again there the colloquial language used by fans and commentators alike is not the same as the language used in the laws of the game, however it does seem to carry over pretty well.
Section 17.6.2 states that a player will be penalised for "Holding the Ball" when, after having prior opportunity to dispose of the ball, does not correctly dispose of the ball immediately upon being "Legally Tackled".
A "Legal Tackle" is simply above the knees and below the shoulders of a player in possession of the ball and can be executed by holding either the player or their uniform.
Again, not the explicit language, but if somebody has had the time to do a full 360 spin, they are hardly likely to be able to argue that they disposed of the ball "immediately".

He was taken by Essendon just after the Waterman announcement - very under the radar stuff!I hope we are keeping an eye on Kaine Baldwin from SA. Had two knee reco's, but a KPP talent.
Cheeky Essendon, he could be a absolute bargain.He was taken by Essendon just after the Waterman announcement - very under the radar stuff!
