MRP / Trib. Camporeale 4 weeks for pushing player into oncoming traffic causing serious injury

[Elixuh]

Good outcome. Need to stamp this rubbish out of the game.

I'll go against the grain but he is clearly pushing his opponent to get the ball. Would he have got suspended if nothing eventuated from the push? Absolutely not.

The AFL like to punish based on outcome, less on intent. While the act of pushing a player into others CAN cause injury, so can many other things in footy (Like taking a speccy and kneeing someone in the head).

As long as a push is in the act of playing the footy, which I believe the above was, I don't believe it should be punished. Now if he pushed him into someone and the ball wasn't the clear objective, different circumstance.

Oof are you saying it was pre-mediated to get revenge? Even worse.

 

[Sherrinator]

[Cleavy]

MEGA BAN according to the media...

really....W.C's Ginbey pushed Lalor into on coming traffic in a pre season game, fractured jaw and concussion was the result for Lalor...
No case to answer for according to the afl mrp.

Stupid ****ing game.

Its just ****ed!

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I didn't really spot the malice in it. More of a footy accident, imo. No ban required.

It doesn't matter whether malice was in it or not. The AFL set the precedent for this type of action with Mansell earlier this year so 4 weeks it is!

Mansell didn’t go for the ball. He pushed his opponent into a marking contest. Ben has just pushed his opponent out of the way to get the ball. Feel bad for him copping a massive suspension.

Calm yourself down. It was a footy accident. And the one earlier this year was a guy running backwards going for a mark and got collected. The push helped him get to the ball which is exactly what he was focused on doing. He was going for that mark regardless of the nudge.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Even if they hadn't been injured, he still should have got 3 at a bare minimum.
Pushing a player into another player is a gutless act, a dog act, and the outcome here for the 2 players is exactly what previous incidents had hinted at. Neither of them are prepared for the contact, so no time to position themselves or brace.
This is the sort of thing that needs to be stamped out of the game.

Still doesn't feel right. Looks worse than Lynch's punch to be honest.

I am very calm. I agree with what you have said it being a footy accident and the rest.

What I was pointing out was that the AFL set the precedent earlier this year with Mansell whereby if you a push a player and he gets concussed you can expect an extended holiday. Malice or not the outcome is what the AFL is focussed on (and in some cases the potential outcome - )

No, Mansell pushed his opponent out of the way to get separation to compete in the next contest (which is what Camporeale has also done). The fact Mansell's opponent ran blindly into an oncoming pack going for a mark, which was his intent, and got concussed is soley on him. As DazalenkoUBewty stated, the push helped Mansell's opponent get to where he wanted to be.

And he's out this week due to concussion anyway

Brilliant handling of the whole situation.

Its right thats he's rubbed out for that but also weird that its pulled up after people complained. Like how many other things do they miss and not assess? Really should be much clearer explaining all the other incidents they looked at and cleared

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

If you look at the force of Ben's push, there really isn't much to the push.
Watch both Lions players in slow motion and it looks like they would've collided regardless of Ben's involvement.

Cool. I guess my point is that the AFL is farcical atm with some of its decisions.

Did we watch the same vision?

They were likely going to clash but not forcefully. The push caused the impact to be as severe as it was.

The push was minimal. The clash happened because both Brisbane players have no peripheral vision or awareness.

 

[Ambrosia]

I really hope the OP is trolling. This being even cited is crazy.

The ball is on the deck, the two players are in contact with each other, pushing is a part of our game.

U push someone in a contest & ur in a Siberian jail!
