Roast The AFL aren't taking concussion and head trauma seriously enough. Lalor/Ginbey incident.

[bzparkes]

There's plenty of rules that cover this.

Which ones?

 

[AstuteTiger]

Sure they do but you can't punish someone for a rule that doesn't exist.

Hence why I said AFL needs to do something about this (moving forward), to protect all players.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

How is this even remotely relevant?

I'll wager that Ginbey gets suspended mutiple times in his career .

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Which ones?

Unduly rough play, tunneling, lack of duty of care, being a coward and deliberately causing a head injury and a fractured jaw.

I'll wager that Ginbey gets suspended mutiple times in his career .

 

[captain bloodsport]

Tunneling is a free kick and a suspension. There's a rule in place for this.

Push in the back is a free kick. Has been forever.

you're saying Ginbey should be punished outside the rules.

Lalor got his free kick.

The umpire and the mro didn't think it was tunneling. Not my call.

being a coward

I must've missed this in the latest rules update bzparkes

So he's a tough player?

 

[javaguice]

It's a man's game, take ur hand off it

And that's an entirely fine position to have but it also means Ginbey can't be punished retrospectively for a rule that doesn't currently exist.

Tougher than your fragile soul. I'm not sure footy is the game for you.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

And that's an entirely fine position to have but it also means Ginbey can't be punished retrospectively for a rule that doesn't currently exist.

He can under the lack of duty of care rule.

 

[bzparkes]

Unduly rough play, tunneling, lack of duty of care, being a coward and deliberately causing a head injury and a fractured jaw.

Ok, none of those are applicable to his action.

Try finding a rule that's actually applicable.

 

[smasha]

Judging by some of the comments in here, it sounds like Sam wasn't the only one that's suffered head trauma.

Lots of oppos also,good point.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

I know CTE is something foreign to you , you should look it up and get out of 1970's football.

 

[bzparkes]

He can under the lack of duty of care rule.

What rule is this?

Care to find it for me to look at?

 

[TY24]

He can under the lack of duty of care rule.

You are just making shit up now

Here is a complete list of reportable offences that can result in a suspension.

I can't wait to see what mental gymnastics you conduct to try get one of these to fit the crime.

 

[javaguice]

Young tiger kid will learn from his carelessness. Everyone is better for the experience. Let's move on

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

What rule is this?

It's a rule called AFL discretion.

 

[TY24]

It's a rule called AFL discretion.

Making shit up again. Nice.

Blaming the victim because the perp was from your team. Pretty typical of WC supporters.

Rough conduct is another one.

That's not a rule, hence Ginbey can't be suspended by it.

Or are you ok with governing bodies just making shit up on the fly to punish things they find undesirable, no matter what it is?

That's an awfully dangerous thought process there fella....

 

[bzparkes]

Rough conduct is another one.

Do you know what rough conduct constitutes?

Because a grazing fingernail on a bloke's back ain't it.

 

[TY24]

Rough conduct is another one.

Rough conduct? For a push?

Good luck. The game would be dead within a week if they outlawed pushing.
