Peter Wright contact with Harry Cunningham: Pleads Guilty and Receives 4 Week Suspension

[mouncey2franklin]

Lingy says Wright will get weeks.

You can tell Peter isn't in the boys club when the commentators are happy to hang, draw and quarter him within minutes.

One of the big names does the exact same thing and you can be sure the commentators would be saying stuff like

'he has to be allowed to protect himself in the contest'

'you don't want to lose all of the physicality in the game'

'he was leading at the ball, it was a football act'

Too bad Peter, you aren't in the club, so you've been thrown under the bus.

See you in four weeks

He left the ground knowing it was gonna be a collision he could of taken the mark or spoiled but chose to bump I reckon he’ll get a few

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Should be 3 or 4.

Off the ground, took his eyes off the ball and turned the shoulder.

May not have been his intention but he takes responsibility once he’s in the air.

Can’t be anything other than high, high and severe.

 

[BG32]

Atleast 4

 

[Foxx]

3 weeks.
You can't protect yourself in a marking contest.

 

[Captivating]

Yeah trying to take a chest mark

 

[SSwans2011]

Gone. Had absolutely no need to leave the ground.

 

[Mootsy]

A week should suffice, or two.

 

[Foxx]

Gone. Had absolutely no need to leave the ground.

He was jumping for the mark.

 

[SSwans2011]

He was jumping for the mark.

By the time he left the ground he'd taken his eyes off the ball. The ball was also at chest height lol. He has about 20cms on Cunningham who didn't need to leave the ground to reach it.

 

[Aphrodite]

He was jumping for the mark.

Try again!

G. O. N. E.

 

[Hamingja]

Yeah trying to take a chest mark

With his hip?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Gone. Had absolutely no need to leave the ground.

You’re allowed to jump up to mark a football.

Either way, I reckon it was pure instinct to protect himself from being cleaned up, by a guy that came at him from side on (from his blind spot, considering his eyes were on the ball).

Wrights eyes were on the ball (that was kicked to him, on the lead) and he would have only seen Cunningham at the last second, given he came at him from the side. Anything after that would be pure instinct to protect himself from being cleaned up.

Wright 100% has to be able to contest the ball that was kicked to him, and if anyone chooses to cut across his line- from a direction where he won’t be able to see him until the last moment, as his eyes are on the ball- then that guy IMO is significantly responsible for what happens to him as a result of that choice.

We play Essendon this week, but even so, I’ll hate it if this gets weeks.

Wright has to have every right to contest a ball that’s been kicked to him, and he then has to have every right to protect himself from anyone who chooses to charge at him from side-on (his blind spot), who he only sees at the last second.

Football is a CONTACT SPORT. I don’t think anyone did anything unreasonable here and then they made contact.

Hence a free kick not even being paid.

Maynard rule makes this an open and shut case of multiple weeks - the exact number to be determined - despite all the back and forth we will have to hear from people who can't accept reality.

You can disagree with the Maynard rule, but it exists. He simply won't get let off.

Ffs
The Maynard "rule" is a cynical joke
Maynard only got off because he played for Collingwood in the finals

One of the worst Tribunal decisions.of the modern era

Maybe if you cry about it some more it will change.

His eyes were on the ball the whole time.

Yeah nah. He's GORN

Disgraceful decision

I eagerly await some responses from certain Essendon supporters who were very opinionated on their thoughts towards Brayden Maynard

His eyes were on the ball the whole time.

The video and photo above shows that's just categorically not true.
