Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

[kreuze_missile]

Very, very, weak act from Cripps. Season over. If the AFL doesn’t act in this they are just not serious.

Not as bad as this, but not far off it. Perpetrator showed the same amount of courage.



Cameron got 5 - Cripps should get 3

You have got to be kidding me.

Queue the Plugger and Miburn videos...

Anyone can take a well timed screenshot. Ah Chee’s feet left the ground. It’s there on video.

I’m sure you’ll beat us with or without Cripps in round 23. You can relax.

Yup exactly regarding the screenshot.

Take this for example…



Eyes on the ball, arms out in an attempt to win the ball.

Clear to play this week.

If they deem it a football collision in a contest and accidental he will be free to play.

Gee the salt in here will be immense!

 

[Dangerousfield]

Article on the AFL website softening us up for a no case to answer/football accident because it suits the corrupt and Vic biased AFL to have Cripps play.

It should be two weeks but we'll see what happens once the AFL meddles eh?

Not sure incredulousness and salt are the same thing

In fact, I'm not even 100% sure incredulousness is a word

I was at the game. It was obviously late, high and forceful. Anyone disputing this is doing the mental gymnastics cos they don’t want the ‘game to go soft’

It looked shocking live in real time and Cripps is forever a ******* grub in my mind, despite the good guy vibes he gives off.

Thats fair enough. I have the exact same opinion of your 3 time premiership coach who was the biggest thug ever to grace a football field

The “arms out”, i.e. the ones whose hands appear like antlers alongside Cripps’ head in your screen cap, belong to Ah Chee.

Match Review: Veteran Swan cops one-game ban

Former Sydney skipper Josh Kennedy has been suspended for one match for his late hit on Carlton's Sam Docherty

www.afl.com.au

Josh Kennedy got a week for this & Docherty played out the game as though nothing happened.

That's 3 weeks for Cripps if the bloke has missed the rest of the game.

hes notably one of the few defending it, funnily enough

The most disturbing thing about the incident is that Darcy then proceeded to describe Cripps as a superstar. Not entirely sure what Cripps has done to deserve the moniker besides winning B&Fs of a team that doesn’t play finals footy.

I entered this thread thinking it was an obvious two weeks. But I keep looking at this hit and I genuinely think Cripps has a chance to get off. How is his worse then this one? Ah Chee being concussed from the whiplash from the ground I guess would be the difference. And I don't want to hear about it not being a marking contest. It's an aerial contest, he's allowed to jump to try and grab the ball.

Maybe I'm delusional but I can see him only getting the one.

I just don't think that the AFL (or anyone) wants it to be ok to jump and bump somebody in the head leaving them concussed on the deck (regardless if it was the hit to the head or the head on the ground which resulted in concussion.

He didn't need to jump and make high contact, he's got to be responsible for the consequences of it, that's the way the rules are written now.

 

[Skull Face]

Neither does a sling tackle.
His high bump is responsible for the resultant concussion.

Looks like he jumped and tried to grab the ball the same as ah chee, you basically want him reported for being bigger and stronger and coming off better from the contact. Ah chee is the one running at the contest with FAR greater speed.

Ah Chee should get 2 weeks?

Your thoughts on a player such as Nathan Buckley , or Tony Lockett is what then ?

 

[KnaveyBlue]

I also thought it was an automatic 2 weeks until I saw the vision from 11 secs in the vid above. Cripps definitely has eyes on the ball and is looking to take it on his chest.

It's amazing how different the incident looks from the 2 angles.

he should hit the gym and toughen up

Brownlow medal winners who made more than 2 All Australian teams in their first 8 years in the league.

 

[Pistol Night]

155kg bench presses with his head.

 

[calder_daddy]

Will get off due to the fact being a brownlow chance.
No other reason

 

[Worm4]

Brownlow medal winners who made more than 2 All Australian teams in their first 8 years in the league.

And both superstars who had limited finals success.....

It wasn’t a 50/50 equal contest. He was late to the contest, launched in the air and then apparently tried to take a chest mark with his shoulder lol
