MRP / Trib. Jai Newcombe in trouble?

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Literally just a 2 person tackle. Arm isn't wrenched backwards. It is stopping logue from getting the handball. It is also instantly released when the tackle goes to ground.
Logged also pushes himself forward to try and get a free for in the back

The arm is instantly released? Are we watching the same footage? He pulls Logue’s arm backwards as he uses his other hand to push into his shoulder.

I don’t have an opinion on whether or not that action deserves a week but that is just not what happened.

Lucky boy I reckon.

$1000 fine, afl having a laugh.

Arrives at the contest second, swings his right leg around to be in front of Logue's to make sure he goes to ground. This is school yard stuff.

The fact that he did this as a conscious act knowing Logue could not brace for the fall is about as careless as it gets. Someone will get suspended one day and the pundits will say 'but what about Newcombe?' as if that achieves anything. In the meantime, nothing to see here.

Grif gets 1week for a football action and that gets a 1k fine? Makes no sense

Broad was the “example” case last week. Now they’ll go quiet for a month or 2 before another “example” case.

running past the ball to collect an oponent in the head is a football action? maybe in the 80s.

A football action is where you ignore the ball and shirtfront the player who is going for the ball?

Literally how in the * is this judged to be 'less dangerous' than Pedlars tackle who got a week...

This one confuses me a lot.

Arm pinned
Two actions
Propelled forward head first

It’s got all the cues for a dangerous tackle that we hear about, why no suspension? Is it the speed that separates it? If so that is questionable as this act could very easily have caused a concussion.

He's holding an arm. If anything it's bramble that forces the tackle forward (although it looks like logue dives forward to try milk a free)

Ahhhh, I see he knows his judo well.

The leg goes in front, preventing him from moving his legs forward, thus forcing all his momentum forward.

Take your hawthorn glasses off I think.

Chook lotto is in full swing.

I now have no idea of what is “outlawed” on the footy field.

 

[lordbob]

Bunch of crazy posts here who think that someone falling forward is that same force as someone getting slung forward. Physics is hard. Same people also seem to be blind thinking that Jai is the one laying the tackle. The person closest to the camera isnt always the one laying the tackle. Its an assist. The only bad part was the arm pull when he was on the ground.

If you have no idea what is "outlawed" let me help you:

Sling / spear tackle where the players head gets driven/slung into the ground = outlawed

Tackle with forward momentum where the palyer falls forward and hits their head = not outlawed

Was it a spear tackle? no

Was it a sling tackle? no

Why are those tackles more dangerous? because the tackle itself increases the force at which someones head impacts with the ground.

Those of you who think every tackle where a players head hits the ground the tackler should be suspended need to stop watching footy and go watch netball or something.

Those who think jai is the one laying the tackle, should go get your eyes checked.

A bump regardless of how crude, is still much more of a football act than tripping a bloke

1. Shirtfronts have never been a football act

2. If this is considered a trip I'd hate to see a heavy look at all games. It's a common tackle these days. You chuck your legs infront of them when tackling, so they can get the kick away.

Where was the analysis 2 years ago when will day had his ankle broken in the same sort of tackle?
