Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2022

The head is sacrosanct*











*when it's convenient

 

[ilikepotatoes]

I can see it being open season on head high bumps when the ball is in play now.

Similar to how players have tackled hard on duckers in the last few weeks.

 

[Unique Name]

I know everyone is saying Vic-love but I'm thinking that the AFL are going to be pretty pissed off with this result.

 

[Taylor]

Carlton playing two finals sides should mean the opposition get into him about it, trying to draw a response and if he throws a fist they will stay down, even for a gut punch.

 

[Nodgey]

Should never have allowed Rioli to get off the Rowell bump. AFL are pathetic.

 

[FreoRicci]

Pathetic. Example have been set. Jumping into another player whilst going for the ball is okay now

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

They keep seeing more and more dangerous precedents with even more inconsistencies. Got to love this comp sometimes

To be fair, Dawson got off for something kind of similar in 2013 iirc

That was a smother though.

Cripps hit a player who had his hands on the ball, jumping into him, side on like a bump.

cops a week for a slightly exaggerated tackle, whilst Cripps walks away scot free after sending Ah Chee to Koosbane.

Credit to Carlton for plucking holes in the AFL's argument - but that's a disgraceful outcome.

Either the club is corrupt or the AFL is negligently incompetent. Idk which one is worse.

Exactly. And to think Switta copped 2 weeks for a tackle that didn’t even cause discomfort. The AFL really needs to sort this out.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Good of Tommy Lee to try and distract attention away from this farcical outcome.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Friendly reminder this got two weeks and cost our man a Brownlow. 3.53 in.

 

[freo84]

I hope May 'contests' the ball in a 'marking contest' and runs through Cripps.

In a newly legal way.

Disclaimer: no injury. Just a good legal fair hit.

Yeah that was wild.

It wasn't even a marking contest though, it was a loose ball that got up high. It's like running five metres and smashing into a guy like that who is receiving a looping handball and then claiming you were contesting the ball.
It's unbelievable

Wayne Johnston on the Front Bar. What a player and what a funny bloke.

Will have to catch it - my favourite footballer as a young bloke. Surely the first to give himself his nickname.

 

[Outshined]

Really feel for Ah Chee in all of this. In addition to receiving a concussion (fingers crossed for no long-lasting effects), he loses his spot in a top 6 side on the eve of finals.

Meanwhile the player that elected to iron him out with some pseudo tough guy bullshit gets to run out this weekend.

 

[muzzington]

Cripps was jumping for joy after the verdict. Resulted in 3 concussions.

 

[DragoDelph]

Ah well. Hope they get torched the next two weeks.

 

[wakojako]

Carltank finds new ways to make you hate them

 

[Caldera]

this *ing league is a joke at times

 

[Madas]

Should never have allowed Rioli to get off the Rowell bump. AFL are pathetic.

Had a feeling that was going to set a bad precedent.
This organisation is a joke
