Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

[ABAB]

If you give that a week then you probably give Sloane a week GF week in 2017 for his contact with Dangerfield.

I thought Sloane made a split second to brace himself with his forearm when he collided with Dangerfield?

 

[Alwaysacrow]

MRP Statement;
The potential to cause injury was certainly there but because he's a big name Victorian player he deserves a fine and no suspension.
Why don't they just be honest.

You're right, Sloane did have an out there.

 

[Drummond]

Is Bruhn the one who's family acted like he was sentenced to 15 years when he was drafted interstate

I’ll never forget Bruhn. On draft night, you could tell he was never going to stay at GWS. What a disastrous decision to draft him. Was written all over him and his families faces that it was the last place he wanted to go absolute lols

 

[Maddogmetro]

The MRO & tribunal is a complete mess at the moment.

Penalties are a complete lottery & very inconsistent.

All the talk was about the 'potential to cause harm' when McAdam was suspended. Since that decision, it has not been raised once by the AFL.

It was manufactured against us.

 

[BunjiMC]

McAdam's goal was to hurt his opponent as much as possible. It is hard to tell what McKay's intentions were but he at worst has been able to bluff the tribunal. It's not a conspiracy. I wouldn't want a Crow missing a Grand Final based on that.

You can't put both forearms into someone's head.... especially after they have gotten rid of the ball....

The AFL don't give a **** about concussions.

We had a guy given three weeks for "potential to cause injury", how is this any different?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It was manufactured against us.

Indeed... manufactured once the prosecution realised they had no actual evidence to justify 3 games.

They are a joke!

AFC should be putting in a no confidence motion as the system is a complete joke under Christian.

McKay is deemed a higher profile player.

It was Round 1 and for some inexplicable reason, you do a crime in Round 1 and you get severely punished.

McAdams penalty will probably be the harshest for the year.

Thing is a Crow would absolutely miss a Grand Final based on this right now.

It’s the lack of issue being made about players not going off for HIA that tells us this

How a player can have a full speed head clash, take ages to get up and off the ground then be cleared to return 6mins later (signifying that it was deemed no HIA was necessary) then be subbed off with concussion maybe 10mins later is a fair blight on the games stance.

That’s not delayed concussion. That’s failing to carry out the assessment which would have been failed within the standard time

If you think a Crow wouldn’t miss a game for the exact same action then you’re kidding yourself.

If it was a Grand Final against a Victorian team then they’d probably be even more likely to get suspended.

Exactly the same with McAsey being drafted to us. Bloke never wanted to be here.

Did not look at all happy

Clubs should get the benefit of a cooling off period based on the player’s reaction to getting drafted

Looking forward to the absolute outrage about this in the media.
If this had been McHenry who was hit, we would be looking down the barrel of a full blown investigation, being stripped of points and draft picks. The Vic outrage would be constant. They would be falling over themselves to make an example of us and point out how important they take concussion issues.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

A star player for the AFL's love child gets off so he can play against a club the league has it in for. We move on.

 

[Rankine2Thilthorpe]

Tell you what, I hope Carlton and St Kilda get their flags before we’re contending.

Imagine coming up against them in a Grand Final. It would make Bulldogs 2016 look like equitable umpiring.

 

[Crow till I die]

Exactly the same with McAsey being drafted to us. Bloke never wanted to be here.

but he did sign a contract extension when we all thought no way he would..wonder why he didn't ask to be traded back then when he had the chance?

Wrong decision by both parties in hindsight.

To be fair he doesn't look much happier at Geelong either, maybe he just has resting sad baby face?

but he did sign a contract extension when we all thought no way he would..wonder why he didn't ask to be traded back then when he had the chance?

I'd take $300k for an extra 2 years just to kick around in the SANFL before going home

A couple of years ago if you typed “ninthmond“ instead of “Richmond” into your bigfooty comment the bigfooty system would automatically change the word ninthmond to something else as it was posted to the thread..

the bigfooty system can also recognise swear words and change/edit them out.

now I’m pretty sure if Bigfooty’s software and operating systems can do this then surely these enormous multibillion dollar social media organisations have the software and operating systems to do even more than that to recognise this vile bullshit and delete it/change it before it even gets posted..

how good would it be if Instagram/Facebook etc had a system that could read this vile s**t as it’s being posted and automatically change it to “Izak Rankine.. you’re the greatest and I wish you played for the team I follow”..
the look on the face of the absolute flog that posted that vile s**t when they read it would be priceless!

surely in this day and age of technological advancement this is possible.

the only problem being we have a noisy minority of flogs, mostly in the dumbest county on earth, that believe they should have the right to say whatever they want regardless of how pathetic, bigoted, racist and childish it is and to take that right away from them is apparently silencing them..

imagine being that big a fxxkn moron that you can’t have a conversation/arguement/or make comments without having to resort to racist bullshit to get your “point” across.

Vladimir Putin you’re the best…..works well

 

[spenze]

So I guess this means Ben is going to miss another week with that injury...

 

[FR0GGY]

I can’t see why Tom Lynch should have been suspended.
