Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[spenze]

Shoot me down if I'm talking nonsense. But I actually think Duggan tried to move his body to throw Cameron of him. Cameron was stronger and ended up falling on him.

0 weeks. Play on.

nope, just watched it and that was a good tackle

 

[pjcrows]

The Bedford one is the worst MRO decision I've ever seen.

 

[Freshj]

Maybe a big wheel is the best idea. Get reported and spin the wheel. Outcome is 100%, no appeals, no whinging, just cop it on the chin!

 

[DJ75]

The Bedford one is the worst MRO decision I've ever seen.

Agreed. Insane.
It’s a standard perfect tackle. He did absolutely nothing wrong, so 3 weeks seems fair
Are we just going to suspend the closest player if anyone bumps their head from now on?

 

[adelaidecrows]

That's always been the biggest worry with him IMO

It's all good and easy when Port are flying, but with things getting tougher down at Alberton and things not coming quite as easy as they were that's when JHF psyche will really be tested.

It's been evident from when he was at North that there's some discipline issues there with him mentally, the tougher things get at Port and the more pressure they're under the more I think he'll be prone to these types of brain snaps.

No doubt him and Butters probably think they rule the roost.

Potentially, after this week, Port might lose every game thereafter - Carlton (A), Swans (H), Melbourne (A), Showdown (H) and Fremantle (A).

Oh boy.

That would almost bring alive below the belly button

MRO bullshit once again.

Bedford with a routine tackle on Taranto that unfortunately hits his head into the ground. 3 weeks.
Cameron with a pretty hard tackle on Duggan but a football act, concusses him, 3 weeks.

Alex Davies goes low and slams his shoulder into Jones head on purpose and takes him out, only 3 weeks!
Rosas Jnr runs past Evans and elbows him in the back of the head on purpose and only gets 1 week!?!?!?!?!?!

Cameron definitely deserves to go. He accelerated and cannon-balled him into the ground. It was deliberate.
He easily could have showed some duty of care and held him without the followthrough. If the head hits, he goes.

Bedford and Cameron are some of the worst suspensions I have ever seen. Well especially Bedford.

Maybe Cameron gets 1 week, but Bedford oh my! = 3 is terrible.

Something does not add up. I'd like to say more but you go figure. One thing I will say is they play for non VIC clubs.

Hope the Lions and Giants respond with anger over the next 3 weeks.

This is the AFL justifying the Rankine suspension and over correcting there standards as a result of head high contact.

Payneham under 10s refused VBs offer of help, kids said they'd be alright with their captain coaching the side

 

[spenze]

Yeah, struggling to see how a good tackle can be worth 3 times more than a guy throwing elbows behind play. I mean if Rosas was given 5 weeks for that you wouldn't have thought " but Evans didn't even get concussed".

 

[MarcusP2]

Our players don't even have to attend training if they need to pick up the kids. Surely the odd interstate trip for your interstate recruits would be much more normal.

Wasn't the quote about meetings? Not training sessions or even weight sessions?

 

[ams4crows]

So McAdam last year is still the only player to be suspended on "potential to cause injury" everyone else the outcome has directly related to the suspension given.

 

[Vader]

Does anyone else think that Cameron's 3-week suspension might be Michael Christian's revenge, after Brisbane got him off using the "good guy" defence earlier in the season (for something which absolutely deserved suspension)?

...Yes, I do think Michael Christian is that petty.

It does very much seem like there are square ups.

We haven't fared too well since David Mackay made them look like fools

I don't disagree, but I think the goal posts have been moved in regards to a 'perfect tackle'. I don't think you're allowed to pin both arms and take a player to ground anymore.

Judging by recent weeks suspensions, it looks as though anything resulting in a concussion is minimum 3 weeks now.

I didn't hear if Tom Stewart got charged with his incident. Anyone know the outcome of that one?

Potential to cause injury as we all agree is just one of the most idiotic calls yet

Oh boy.

As delicious as it sounds, there's nothing surer one of these clubs loses their best two or three players just before they play Port. (Praying it's not us) It seems to be written into the laws of the game, so I reckon they'll jag one or maybe two.

They're not beating us though.

I see trouble brewing

Mate of mine (he is retired) volunteers down there at Power training and SANFL match days (he is a lifelong Magpies supporter but not real keen on the Power). He's not in the inner circle but he does tell me what he hears around the place.
There is already discontent at Alberton with regards to Butters and his attitude towards his (younger) team mates particularly the bakes he gives them on the field. Finlayson is the only one who has bitten back and it is common knowledge apparently that they cant stand each other.

Kern wont say anything because Butters cant do anything wrong in his eyes.

That’s how it appears from outside
