Autopsy Hawks: 30 minutes not enough for 4 points...

It also wasn't what I would call careless, the bump was executed correctly, it was an accidental head clash which can happen in a tackle or marking contest etc

I'm happy with the AFL saying he had no intent to injure, he wasn't careless in the action he took and the end result was an accident so we aren't going to penalize the player for that.

The issue we have is that in the past they did penalize the player for the accident, if they keep this consistency moving forward I think the shock will wear off and people will become more reasonable about it

at the moment all they can remember is when their bloke got rubbed out 3 years ago from the same sort of thing

the key really is consistency, if you are playing within the rules and its an accident you shouldn't wear the outcome, Thomas collected Selwood in the head with his shoulder so he goes, Le Cras and Burton don't and they get to play on

I'm happy with that as long as they keep too it.

Can't disagree with that.

He should have tackled. That's the rule.

Nope it isn't. A bump is a perfectly legal action.

Accidents happen - this was a head clash. You probably want Morrison suspended as well because Vickers-Willis copped a concussion for executing a poor tackle on Morrison.

Watching the game last week we often looked like boys playing men. Next we play them, I would like to see some consideration of some more robust types like Whitecross, Loevell and perhaps Schoe over O'Brien.

Also, wondered if anyone has called out Waite for pushing people out with his foot. He did it repeatedly, and very effectively.

Fairly ill-informed post is fairly ill-informed.

a) It's not the rule.
b) Higgin's head clashing with Burton could have severely injured Burton. Maybe he should have kept his head out of the interaction.

LOL I'll informed. What does that mean?
And you forgot to add "fairly".

Waite has been doing that for as long as I can remember; it is a dangerous tactic and I'm surprised he hasn't caused a serious injury, and connot understand why he isn't penalised.

l know what you meant Thai but when l hear the word three peat my mind wanders back to the glory days.

Of which will start again as soon as the club rolls its package together consitantly.

I thought Clarkson had a bad game too.
Hardwick should of went back halfway through the first.
Burton forward halfway through the first and Sicily forward halfway through the 3rd

What are you on?
