Omeara how many weeks?

[Vindicater]

Zero.

Bumped him legally and then a head clash with another player led to the concussion.

Because of the above facts I fully expect him to get 3 weeks.

Looked like the Cotchin/Shiel 2017 PF incident. If they’re consistent in their interpretation, then it won’t be looked at any further.

 

[Iamspock]

Reminded me of Ben Johnson on Guerra in the 2006 Elimination Final against the Dogs.

Brad maybe?

 

[DERO]

Send him to Carlton to teach him a lesson.

Less than Warpel, more than Wicks

Pretty similar, neither went past the ball to make contact and both were going the ball. Shiel didnt go off with a concussion though which will go against o'meara.

Rules changed a lot in 4 years though as well so I dont think we can look at things 4 years ago as precedents.

 

[Back One Out]

AFL's reverse engineering:

1. A player was concussed

2. We are shiit-scared of future class-action lawsuits and multi-million dollar payouts

3. Our lawyers say we must DO SOMETHING in order to "prove" we aren't negligent towards players

4. Is the protagonist one of the Brownlow favourites?

5. Does he play for Sydney or GWS?

6. If "no" to the last 2 questions, what penalty would generate the least amount of criticism from the clubs & media?

7. Once the penalty has been decided, consult the set-penalty tables and work backwards to find the appropriate charge

8. send email to Michael Christian with the details for him to release to the media.

 

[HTPunter]

Basically exact same as Selwood on Mansell, and Thomas on Jiath.

0. Not even a fine.

O'Meara attacked the ball with a safer technique for his own personal safety. Yes he has a duty of care for Hayward, but he also has a duty of care for himself. Just as Hayward has a duty of care for his own protection too.

Don't lead with the head ffs.

Got 2 incidents this year with precedent in my mind to say it should be 0

AFL doesn’t care about precedent accountability

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Didn't get him in the head but he went off with a concussion? Odd

Because Haywood clashed heads with Morris, not Omeara.

Watch a replay before being a smart arse.

Baffling thread when omeara didnt even made contact with Haywoods head!

It was a head clash with Morris.

Nobody saw Morris walk off a minute later with blood pouring from his head?

Are people being wilfully ignorant ITT or just stupid??

you've been on BF for 14 years and still need to ask?

 

[pazza]

The Sydney bloke went to bump him off the ball and ended up flat on his arse. Play on.

If he doesn't get 10 weeks then Hocking isn't serious about protecting the head

True.

Joms action caused two players to be hit in the head.

Banned for life.

 

[BF Tiger]

O'Meara def in the clear. I think John Morris needs to be punished though - elected to unforseeably be in the wrong place at the wrong time and deserves two to three weeks.

I dont think any went to bump. 3 went for the ball and 2 clashed heads. One was concussed, the other was bleeding and needed taping.

Literally nothing to see.

 

[Mister B]

Going to be interesting to see what happens to the Adelaide player from last night. Almost identical scenario, if the right call is made, he gets off like O'Meara. Will be a real test of Christian's consistency.

And you see idiots like Kane the failed fireman saying he should go...I mean seriously.

Omeara didn’t hit the swans player in the head. Mackay did. Not that I feel Mackay should get weeks. But there is a pretty big difference between the two.

not sure how many times this has to be written.

There is a clear head clash between O'Meara and Hayward. You can write it as many times as you like, it doesn't make it true. I don't know why some are getting pissy about this. O'Meara rightfully wasn't sighted and neither should McKay.

Watch again.
Hayward hits his head on Morris- hence why Morris went off with the blood rule

and prior to that Omeara's head clips him.

Prove it.
Every angle I've seen omaera gets him on the chest and shoulder
