Spin the MRP wheel

Deregistration

Possibly deportation

This is interesting one. Honeychurch ran into Hurn, Hurn stationary. However Hurn had the opportunity to turn side on or move to help avoid a hit to the head.

Not a good look however i think he should get off but with the MRP trend of assessing outcome rather than action, who knows.

Bit of an iffy one this one......I watched it and I cant decide...
I dont think he really bumped, more turned on the side bracing for contact. Hurn wasnt really even moving and the stumble by HoneyChurch kinda lead to the impact...

 

[Struggle]

Hurn didn't move. Nothing to see here

 

[go_the_dockers]

One player watching the ball, the other watching the player.

But he did not move. It will be interesting to see how the MRP grade this .

Hurn took a step forward and turned his body in the bumping motion. He seemed to do both of these to protect himself though - step forward to plant his leg and not be off balance and turned body so he wouldn't be headbutted in the abs/chest area.

I think Christian hates WC so wont be surprised if it's cited

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Hurn is s**t anyway and needs a week off

 

[twiggy4PM]

Nothing n it. Hurn doesn't have to get out of the way from someone who has zero awareness on the field. If he gets any punishment for that it would be a disgrace.

 

[Gazey]

No weeks although Barret Ralph and co will demand months.

 

[Altum Volantes]

I think he’ll be ok but who the hell knows.

Hopefully Honeychurch isn’t badly injured....solidly built bloke to stumble into.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Shouldn't the thread title be Honeychurch headbutt on Hurn?

Spin the wheel, who know these days.

Didn’t look to bad to me, part of the game. Play it hard, these things happen.

Will get a week & eagles will argue & get him off.

 

[BF Tiger]

Not even a free IMHO.

 

[Big Cox 88]

There are too many Dogs players who lead with their head. Hunter, Macrae and Mclean did it multiple times throughout the game. Eventually and unfortunately an event similar to this was likely to happen. Get the kids coming through juniors now to look at what not to do going in a contest if any of you folks coach the 12-16 bracket.

Surprise surprise from a Freo supporter no less. I wonder what you would be saying if it was a Freo player?

The outcome is that Honeychurch ended up off the ground, in hospital, and you would think he would be doubtful next week. In the past the AFL have made a point that the outcome was more important than the action itself. Players know that when they bump they could do damage. Hurn did damage. He should get a week but probably won't even get cited.

 

[Marcus DuQuesne]

Player fumbles then stumbles and Hurn just holds his ground and protects himself ...Zero Weeks unless the AFL has lost the plot......oh shite.geez??

Can't be a week

it's 3 weeks or nothing

Will Honeychurch be available to play next week ?.

Fractured eye socket, probably out for at least a month.
