Autopsy Thankgod for our kicking boots Swans by 11 to keep season alive!

[caesar88]

Horse I thought made a really good point about the inside 50 count at either QT or HT (can't remember). Said that it was a bit misleading because our incredible accuracy meant we couldn't get repeat entries from kick-ins like GWS were able to.

Ahh s**t bad news.

The MRP saw this post and have given you a week.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Week for Campbell looks about right sadly.

Slide the video back and forth I posted and it doesn’t look great.

 

[Edmund hunt]

Seems an innocuous football contest that happens all game. Whitfield played out the game so low impact. However it’s the AFL tribunal so it’s a lottery.

I saw the Video. How is that worthy of a ban?

I assume both GWS players also got a week, Daniels for a late high hit on Lloyd and Bedford for the sling tackle on Florent?

Yep. Bedford's wasn't too bad but Daniels' was almost as nasty as the one that got Nankervis three.
How good are the umps? Bedford got the free for HTB!

 

[Edmund hunt]

All I see is Campbell bracing for Whitfield to make contact with him and its given as rough conduct. I don't get it.

Innocent and Bedford run 3rd in the Australian Hurdle today

Why did Campbell need to do that? He wasn't bracing or anything. They weren't even going to collide. It was stupid. A week for that doesn't shock me. It was late and deliberate. It's kinda pathetic to see you all defending it. We'd be up in arms if it was an opposition player.

Are you talking about the video I posted or a different source ?

I see it differently from the angle I was watching

Interesting

 

[Mister B]

How can you grade Daniel's the same a Campbell and be taken seriously. Christian is a complete and utter * wit and lets his Collingwood background cloud his senile mind. Campbell's feet are actually planted and Whitfield takes a final step to collide with him. Challenge it, win the case and sue Christian for workplace harassment for continually targeting players who have done nothing wrong.

Might want to watch the side on vision. Clearly shows Campbell settle on both feet while Whitfield continues to move towards him. You have some interesting takes on things at times.

Watch the video Banyo Bloods posted above. It leaves no room for interpretation imo.

Not sure if this is the same but off my TV when I use the back and forth slide it doesn’t look great for him IMO

However I concede it isn’t exactly clear footage either.

Similar to the Carlton mess, where Parker got a week, Walsh got off and they also got a free kick for their troubles.

Really bewilders me

 

[Mister B]

Oh well. I'm sure the swans can call for a delay, wait until they see if they AFL gives GWS a $100,000 fine for failing to concussion test after "clearly high contact". If they don't fine GWS, we go in and fight on the grounds there was clearly no head high contact.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Odd take from a few on here, similar to those that thought Rampe deserved a suspension for his “collision” with the Dogs player, thankfully he was vindicated.

Again I don’t get why that’s a week and why anyone (especially our supporters) think a week is fair.

Let’s appeal again and get off.

a call out on the 11 straight and that's it. All of 2 mins if that.

Let me guess Essendon powerful comeback against the Eagles?

 

[caesar88]

I don't really know what to make of the Campbell case, I think I'm gonna sound like a dumb and uneducated idiot here but here goes.

I just feel like when you read these tribunal hearings and you see them arguing over if this bloke raised his shoulders one or two inches or lowered his knees one or two millimetres or turned his body one or two degrees... it kinda demonstrates just how absurd most of these suspensions are. Players don't have the capacity to consider inches or millimetres or degrees when they are playing footy.

The pursuit of protecting the head in footy feels like a fool's errand because it's dependent on an in-contest awareness that I'm actually not convinced is humanly possible to have in the game of footy.

Having said that... rewatching the Campbell incident, I think what works against him is that it was so late. Players are getting suspended for tackles that need to be laid, or for body contact that is inevitable. There's nothing inevitable about clobbering someone off the ball. It didn't need to happen, it wasn't necessary, and so there's probably an argument there as to what Campbell's intent was.

Having said THAT... I just can't reconcile that Campbell would intentionally try to clobber someone. Nothing about him on the field or off the field screams aggression or malicious intent like that.

So, I dunno. Just thinking out loud here.

What did happen? The video isn’t clear.

The GWS player kicks the ball and Campbell, who was jogging up, THEN launches himself directly at the player with his arms out at head height. Catches the player on the head with his arm. It's a dangerous and completely unnecessary act. He wasn't bracing for impact like Rampe was. He wilfully initiated the impact long after the ball had gone. It's a brain fade from Campbell. Really dumb.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

If the umpires aren’t careful they could have a mob of anywhere up to 17 disgruntled GWS fans waiting for them outside AFL HQ

If you count pet memberships...
