Byron-esque that one.

I kind of love still seeing it.

Didn't hit the head. I think if they start rubbing these out you have to start thinking about simply outlawing the bump.

All this bump does is prove it is possible to hit hard and clean and not injure a player.

It’s pretty hard to argue that there is no contact to the head. You can say that the majority is to the chest but there is clearly shoulder on head here.

I'm always iffy on blurry still shots that can look like X from one view but Y from another.

Looking at replays I don't see the head contact but I'm absolutely happy to be proven wrong by more conclusive evidence. I'm not saying yours doesn't look like what you are describing but I'd be more comfortable to concede the point if there was an image from 2 other angles that show the same.

As I said, I'm not above changing my view on the matter.

Yeah think he's in trouble. Bump can still be done but can't be front on like that.

The tough thing about a front on bump to the body is that the head rolls forward into the shoulder with momentum. It’s almost unavoidable.

Shouldn't be laying a bump like that if there is the opportunity to tackle.

Can't bump from behind and in a 360 degree game such as ours deciding what's from the side or not would be a nightmare.

May as well ban the bump and make the game safer (as well as for lower leagues)

There is no head contact. The impact is to the chest it’s why the head flicks forward on impact.

I can't believe that in one round of footy, after all the media about Gary Ablett and other players revealing their problems, thay two players have tried to bump their opponent with moves that belong in the WWE.

And equally the grading of Pickett’s bump would appear “lite”

And the 100 plus players suing clubs and AFL. Just shows ignorance

The shirtfront has always been a free against. It gets muddied as the question is, is it suspendable?

Still waiting for Tone to deliver his to Putin

Stopped, propped and then drove leading with the shoulder - and connected with Wehr’s head.

anyone saying he didn’t hit the head and that it was a perfect front on bump is an idiot.

absolutely unnecessary cheap shot.

I'm not sure he hit the head though. There's one angle with grainy footage, everything else looks like it's to the chest.

There is no such thing as a good front on bump. A shirtfront has always been illegal in footy, it's rarely paid though.

This is an outcome vs action case

Geezus poor Wehr. Not only did he cop the bump, but the Adelaide player running towards him also shot an arrow into his neck.

It is avoidable…. dont front on bump. Has the potential to cause long term negative health outcomes so needs to be removed from the game.

That is grainy at best. The kid is wearing a loose jumper, so who's to say it's not flutter?

 

[Captivating]

He's gone too. If you are going to bump like that, you can't afford to make any head contact, even incidental.

They've given 2 to pickett, and this was nowhere near as bad

Pickett was lucky that Smith played on - the system helped him - cannot see this one getting any less

Dint think it's if he gets less. It's if they give him more
