If that's remotely true just pack up the stumps, footy is dead

Would be a strong penalty but zero sympathy from me.

Easy way not to have an issue in the first place by just playing the game and not getting into off the ball scraps.

Some, if not most, of the stuff that happened in our day was just plain cowardly and I’m happy to see the dial turn the other way to remove it altogether.

Just watched the footage. Pulled down from behind. Bloke in front lands on him, appearing to lose his balance. No striking motion at all. Guessing the player coming down on top of him has knocked him out. Very stiff to receive any sanction.
 
Kangaroo Court at it again. Those sanctions are outrageous. I’ve seen a hell of a lot worse get off/much lower suspensions than that. Square will surely be appealing.

May as well burn $5k by appealing - just an absolute waste of time, Money and energy.

Wouldn't mind getting a golden handshake!

Margins we shall watch.

I initially thought the penalties to the Square players were too harsh, but if a player gets concussed in a sling tackle (or any way outside the rules) I can see tribunals are clearly going to come down hard. The message has been sent.

Would the penalties be less if it wasn’t a) the interleague captain on the receiving end, or b) the club impacted by the injury being a club that the league need to do everything they can to try keep them in the league moving forward?

So how were they graded? This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard a guy getting 7 weeks for that. I hope the square challenge both suspensions. Why didn't the addy have an article?

Careless/High contact/Severe impact is referred directly to tribunal so I guess both were that, if they weren't considered Intentional/High/Severe. After screen recording it and going frame by frame it looks like there's an elbow making contact with the head but it's right on the edge of the video so you can't really tell. Maybe witness statements combined with the footage resulted in the outcomes :think:

Don’t forget that nowadays the victims start at missing at least three and probably four games. The penalties should be higher to reflect that.

Sorry disagree we shouldn't be handing out suspensions on the outcome should we, if reaper gets up and played out the game and no concussion it's 0 games?

Reaper will miss you'd think a month, as its so hard to see where the contact was too he's head. Almost like McCartin was. Who initiated the push and shove?

Unless there's other footage you can't suspend a guy for defending himself can you, he didn't throw a punch, he didn't line him up, the second square guy throws him to the ground, and there's a tangle of bodies. Imagine if it's overturned and its 1 and 2 weeks suspension. The league would just about need to shut itself up.

No one wants to see a guy king hit, a punch thrown or lined up when they're open and hit high, but Aussie rules has always had intimidation factor in senior footy, what I saw was two guys blowing off some steam another come in and help the young team mate throwing reaper to the ground.

What's happening to our game? We might as well get a round ball out, put a net behind the goals and bsn tackling, ban speckys and just switch to soccer

Reaper is consulting a concussion specialist and is talking he may not play again
