Callum Mills vs Charlie Spargo bump

[janty]

Chose to leave the ground and make high contact. Spargo subbed out of the game.

2-3 weeks?

 

[HTPunter]

3 weeks

Will probably be Same as Pearce got, for trying to mark the ball.

Get ****ed Dil & Kane

 

[Orange Agent]

Time to give up the captaincy.

 

[Cmarsh]

Time to give up the captaincy.

To Heeney.

1 week. What a joke, Michael Christian has to go he is an absolute nuffie and/or corrupt take your pick.

It's not even about Mills, we're not playing the Swans again so whether he misses or not is really irrelevant but how many weeks would Pickett have got for the same incident?

Careful

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Careful

Why?

Pearce got 3 and he was not as late and never tucked in like Mills.

The have and the have nots of the MRP.

 

[LongSerong]

What a joke

AFL seriously Pearce went for three and Mills for 1. It’s so predictable that Sydney Swans are looked after by the AFL. Corruption

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Spargo out 4-6 weeks with fractured collarbone. Does injury only count if its a head injury?

We've been the most heavily suspended team all season by far.

The only difference in grading between Mills and Pearce was the impact which was graded as medium for mills because Spargo wasn't concussed. If he had been then it would have been graded as severe and he would have got 3 weeks as well. Simple as that.

Everyone knows the AFL are far more concerned with the result than they are with the act itself

Edit: and what do you know. Just as I finish writing this word comes in that Pearce is free to play. Must be nice to be looked after by the corrupt AFL

Yes

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Yes

Which is why it's an idiotic system

Can you explain how Mills got only one week and Pearce three?

 

[MF]

I literally just did...

The impact was rated as severe for Pearce because his opponent was concussed and medium for Mills because his opponent wasn't.

Spargo out 4-6 weeks with fractured collarbone. Does injury only count if its a head injury?

Also leads to another question - do players get reported for bumping people's shoulders now?

 

[astrowizzle]

1 week. He should be buying a lotto ticket right now.must have been graded as clumsy

Grading it medium is completely inconsistent with the AFL's previous responses. Medium is what the AFL is using for players who get up and take their free kick. Not players that are forced from the ground for a HIA.

Yeah, consistency is normally the AFL's strong suit when it comes to the laws of the game. I'm shocked.

The shoulder was hurt in an incident prior to Mills' high bump.
Very lucky to be graded medium impact and get only a week.

 

[Bluelegs]

Did the MRO explain how this was medium impact when Aidan Johnson's was graded high? Genuinely curious.
