You seemed to have bolded the wrong parts of the rule. Fixed it for you.

Hey have Carlton patented this awesome new technique for impeding the accuracy of the kicker or can other teams use it too?
Now everyone knows about it maybe we'll see more of this sort of thing.

I guess that's why Ballard got off for his intentional strike with a raised elbow that had the potential to cause serious injury. Being part of a big Vic club and all...
I guess this is the part where you say that GC are an AFL love child as well. Saved you the trouble.

If this was, say, Charlie Comben hitting Ollie Hollands then there is no way he gets let off. What a joke of a comp.

Such as a strike with a raised elbow or forearm?

You clearly haven't paid attention to any previous MRO decision this year ...

Well no. I said I thought it deserved a week based on their guidelines.
I just find it funny when people say he wanted to knock his head off.

I think we can now all agree that McAdam got royally screwed in round 1.
Player not hit high, player not concussed, no potential for significant injury given not hit high or concussed.
Doesn’t play for a big Vic club so a 3 week penalty applies.
Got it.

Why are Adelaide fans so upset with this decision?
If you’d have just sold all those years ago you wouldn’t have to be asking.
You‘d have automatically assumed the same privileges
Don’t start bitching now……
Just looked up the McAdam hit to see what you're talking about.
Holy hell, the victim complex is something else. To even compare these two incidents is insane lmao.

Of course, no contact was made with the head in McAdam’s case.
Yes, body contact was strong in McAdams but the “potential for injury” was higher with McKay.
Good to see you lot have come out of your holes in the ground that you have been in the past 20 years.
Based on the bolded you are absolutely cooked. At least share the crack around a bit mate.
Want to post the clip here so everyone else can laugh at you, or should I do it?
McAdam didn't get screwed, Picket just got extremely lucky
"Such as", as in possible actions with the potential to cause serious injury, which are completely irrelevant to this case, where there was no potential to cause serious injury.
Why so many complaints? It’s clearly ok to double forearm someone in the head. Play on.

You can't be serious?
It's pure luck that Wehr wasn't seriously injured in that hit. Lined him up and cannoned into him. You could see his soul (or maybe it was sweat) leave his body.
Could easily have gone into cardiac arrest with a hit to the chest like that. Just like Damar Hamlin in the NFL.

Do you honestly believe this? Are you this far detached from reality? Or are you just happy to deliberately look like an idiot for the sake of trolling?
Not sure what McAdam's hit was graded, but that's more like high to severe impact.
Harry's was more low to medium.
McAdam was front on contact, with initial contact to the chest.
Harry was side on, with initial contact to the shoulder.
Severe contact to the chest has way more potential for injury than low contact to the side.

Why don't you start a thread on Charlie Ballard getting off his striking charge?
There's so much outrage over a player getting off an intentional behind play strike that there isn't even a thread about it.
Guarantee if it was a Carlton player, the thread would've been started during the game, within seconds of the incident. It would be a minimum of 3 times the size of this thread and people would likely be asking for 6+ weeks.

You (and others) seem to be really annoyed that a player has been able to get away with "a double forearm to the head". It's a travesty. The AFL are corrupt and have given the green light to assault players on the field.
Charlie Ballard strikes a player behind play... crickets... closely followed by tumbleweeds... followed by more crickets.
A Carlton player getting off fits the narrative that Carlton are cheats, get players off suspensions (despite Acres being suspended this week) and that the VFL is in full swing, looking after its own, despite an interstate player getting off for a much worse action.
If you ignore one thing, while focusing on the other, the narrative you've created in your head will always be correct.
This is just a generalisation, aimed at many people in this thread, not just you. I picked yours to quote because it was closest to the bottom and included your hyperbolic account of the incident.
Definitely should've gotten a week.
