got done for the same type of tackle this season. I didn't agree and don't with this one either.

 

[Thetrader15]

I sympathise with what the league is trying to do re ‘protecting the head’, but this one is just footy. Appeal and get off.

They're trying to do the right thing but haven't actually looked at why it's happening.

The root cause is players have to tackle for longer for decisions to be made by the umpire.

Same deal with the rolling maul. Just ball it up quickly and you will reduce injuries and congestion.

 

[PanzerMan]

So they suspend Greene for accidental contact when trying to break a tackle. They don't suspend Selwood for an intentional head high bump. Now they suspend Redman for a tackle which Bontempelli contributed to

 

[HairyO]

Okay with the free kick but doesn't deserve a week.

Would have easily been 20 sling tackles over the weekend and I dont recall any getting pinged. Next weekend we may see all of them get pinged.

But the AFL doesnt have rules of the week.

Not suspending Buddy a couple of weeks ago or Selwood this week would suggest they're trying to do nothing of the sort

They should have both been given a week, and off the top of my head, so should Friscth.( sp? ), and no doubt others. It’s not easy to find the balance between actions, intent, outcomes. It’s tricky trying to navigate through the changing footy landscape and sometimes they get it wrong. But I see it as a mistake rather than some conspiracy, corruption etc. I don’t see how you could dispute that, overall, the afl is trying to get rid of dangerous head stuff.

Well their doing a sh!t job of it when they pick and choose penalties based on who the player is.

Haha. Conspiracy stuff.
When did Fritsch become a ‘protected species‘, as the popular saying goes? Does Hocking barrack for the dees too?

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Rivals the Plowman decision. Absolute shocker.
Games ****ed

suspension earlier this year, video here:

Match Review: All-Australian Dog banned for dangerous tackle

Match Review Officer offers Caleb Daniel a one-match suspension for his tackle on Thomas Berry

www.afl.com.au

I disagree with both of them but they've set the precedent now.

 

[hawkman]

Pay holding the ball earlier and it doesn't happen. Instead of that the players keeps trying to fight through the tackle and becomes more off balance and makes it harder for the tackler to keep control

 

[Ron The Bear]

Unlucky to even concede a free given what was allowed to pass in other games.

Not even close to being similar. One is a driving tackle immediately. The tackle on Bont is a 2-4 second tackle with him trying to fight through it

 

[Ron The Bear]

The sport is properly munted. Clean out AFL House, appoint an objective commission and let them re-hire 50% of the staff.

couple of small differences for mine.
Daniel drives the player & Berry's head makes first contact with the ground.
Redman is hanging off Bont and the weight brings him down.

That's fair, I disagreed with it but wasn't completely shocked that Daniel copped a week, but certainly didn't expect it to go beyond a free kick against for Redman. I understand many think it shouldn't have even been a free kick but I think that was correct, but no more.

My take is that, given the potential to cause serious injury (maybe along the lines of Alex McKinnon in the NRL?), the MRP are now saying that if you apply a tackle on a player who then lands on their head/neck, you're in strife. As usual though, there's no nuance.

 

[Borough Blood]

Problem is that umpires are letting the tackle go too long before calling a ball up or HTB, so players have to take opponents to ground for any decision to be made.

Make the decision quickly, then throw the ball up quickly and you remove head injuries and speed the game up!

This is far too much common sense for the AFL. It’s ridiculous how long players have to dispose of the ball.

 

[WWSD]

How can Michael Christian justify suspending Redman but not Selwood? If one goes, both have to go. If one gets off how can the other get suspended?

Michael Christian is a donkey.

 

[Ants]

He landed on his shoulder how is it medium impact

Well, if it wasn't for that tackle he wouldn't have dropped the ball in the F50 tackle, thereby getting a free kick and a goal. So it was medium impact on their scoreline.....

 

[The Bomb]

How can the AFL allow this?

Yes GWS has a lot to answer for
Note the time.

More of a sling than what worpel got done for

More of a sling than what worpel got done for

Less than what a Swans player did to Worpel in the very same game that Worpel copped a week.
