You just have to shake your head and imagine what LeCras is thinking ". well I cop a week for that !?!? and a Hawk ploughs into me with his knee and splits my head open and the umpire doesn't even pay a free kick. " WTF

Apparently the head is sacrosanct but it very much depends on who's head it is .

Perplexing but then again we are talking about the AFL as they once again spin the chocolate wheel to see where the needle lands to determine what the verdict is .

I dunno why people keep saying this? Calling him stupid etc. I reckon he did everything possible to avoid contact, contact that was bloody minor and arguably not to his head. One week may be a thieves bargain in the scheme of the new AFL but its still a bloody joke that players get rubbed out for stuff like that.

p.s Does those two existing strikes get wiped now ?

Mate did you watch the replay burgoyne did not move le cras plowed into his leg. Nothing burgoyne could have done. Good game btw guys tough match and worthy of 2nd v 3rd
 
Must say i cheered when Whoosh took out Modra and raged when Tommy Kemp got killed by Richouto trying to take his head off. Its good to take this out of the game but what a load of crap this sport is turning into. Should have been a free kick and nothing else.

Also I think this being a week for the bump means that he still carries his two previous strikes.

Worst possible outcome then. Had he simply taken a strike and missed a week (which was all the hit was worth) they would have been reset. As it stands these incidents that dont warrant suspensions could result in Lecras missing a final for basically nothing if the MRP decide to drill down on some nothing shit. For example does anyone have the foggiest clue why Lecras was even given a strike last week against the Suns? Meanwhile Fyfe gets a "strike" for shitmixing a bloke with his back turned to the ball..

Accidental high contact is still high contact, Lecca was just picking up the ball... Testament to where the game is headed though, and the wet conditions made it even more difficult. It's as if they don't want players to get the ball, so many quick free kicks for incorrect disposal / htb / etc now, they are rewarding the player that stands back and waits for the tackle.

I thought it should have been a free. Had the shoes been on the other feet, I would have thought it should have been a free for Burgoyne too.

I think everyone who knees, jumper punches, gut punches and bumps high gets a week, unless the AFL needs them to play in a blockbuster game for ratings or plays for a team that they consider needs to make finals/top 4 etc.
This is why they keep the system they do, purely so they can manipulate bans based on their more favourable outcome.

People may laugh at me for saying this but everyone agrees the system is inconsistent and plain garbage.
And most want the AFL and MRP to 'sort their shit out' and become professional but nobody asks themselves why the AFL stick with the system they do.

Three ex players decide penalties based on a set of easy to mis-interpret guidelines and the AFL say this is the best model going forward? Give me a break.

I agree with you. Under a strikes system its inevitable that players accumulate them the season progresses and because these strikes come about from incidents not worthy of suspension they fly under the radar. Problem is that can manifest into suspensions at the most important part of the year, can be pulled out for pretty much anything. I definately dont trust the AFL or the MRP with such power.

Not if the player who got hit high has initiated the contact mate. Burgoyne was just standing there.
 
Pretty surprised by the decision. I thought he actually pulled up in time
