McCartin v McAdams

[Maddo11]

The incident



Judged Careless, high impact high contact, two weeks. Interesting that it can be judged high impact but Adelaide medicos didn't need to assess the player.

Swans already confirmed to be challenging the decision, assumedly on the severity of the impact.

I hope we challenge it. How does this get graded high impact (no concussion) when Daniels hit on Lloyd (concussion) was graded medium? That was worse IMO.

Well I've got good news for you

It's finals and its Sydney AFL will get him off. Didn't go the ball and took a bloke high. Disgusting hit.

Nothing in it. Tried to change direction and couldn’t in time. Will get thrown out.

Charged straight into him. Been weeks all year and should remain. AFL will get him off as they always do with Sydney.

Chook lotto.

Charged? McAdams was moving quicker (unsurprisingly). Braced once the ball was knocked past him. What's he's supposed to do, teleport?

Surprising challenge. Chose to bump and broke his cheekbone. Normally at least 2 weeks.

Poor decision MRO. Footballing incident.

 

[chris_h_11]

Broken cheekbone = high impact.

Should get an extra week for wasting the tribunal's time.

Caused a fractured cheekbone.

 

[HTPunter]

Can argue all day long about the merits of the suspension - I certainly don’t think it was dirty

But end of the day facts are
1) elected to bump
2) caused a fractured cheekbone

By all precedent and modern interpretations, he’s lucky to get 2. It’s high impact (fracture), it’s high contact (cheekbone was injured), it’s not intentional to hurt him but choosing to bump and causing injury is careless/reckless/negligent whichever word is the buzzword these days

The McCartin incident seems a lot worse than McAdams imo.

The Crows player suspension was absolutely excessive and unfair.

Did he elect to bump or was he just there contesting the ball? Was there another way he could have contested the ball?

If you run into someone’s shoulder with your head, it’s not necessarily the shoulder’s fault

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

McAdam should be suspended for headbutting

 

[Maddo11]

McAdam should be suspended for headbutting

One thing i think is clear is that Tom is keenly aware of the potential side effects of head first collisions, what with his family history and all, unfortunately a lesson McAdams has learnt the hard way.

Protect yo head

So…

Round 1 mcadam choses to bump a man in the chest who has the ball in his hands.. it was a hard bump but didnt cause anymore than a bad winding..

3 games.. appealed but upheld by the tribunal..

R23 mcadam cops a bump to the face that compress fractures his cheekbone..

by a swans player who chose to bump a player without the ball in what looked a clumbsy effort to put a shephard on for his team mate.. and actually comtacted the face with enouhh force to break a cheekbone..

But thats just two matches?..

Geez… can this league be anymore incompetent?..

What. A. Fxxkn. Absolute. Circus.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Ummm… yeah…

Maybe by going for the ball instead of the bump to the body!..

Didnt you watch the replay?.. its up at the top of the page.. try it.

The ball was an arm length or more in front of mcadam… not on mcadams fxxkn face!..

Lmao I'm the OP, nah I didn't read my own post

You Muppet

McAdams reaches out and leans forward and knocks the ball away, which mccartin then follows once the contact happens.

Well clearly you watched it with rose coloured glasses on you moron..

Maybe take em off and watch it again.

Look where the fxxkn ball was at point of impact..


McCartin wasnt even concerned with the ball and was runing to his right towards mcadam when the ball was moving towards his left instead.. and he went the bump as, whats most likely, an attempt to lay a shephard for his team mate.

A poorly executed one at that..

Desperately trying to claim otherwise is just fxxkn laughable.

Don’t be an idiot. Watch it in real-time.
