Plenty of people wish for the good old days with a bit of the old biff. But sure, let's pedantically pick one specific word and focus on that instead of the general theme of the comment.

So tired of this line of argument, but then you're read a match thread and everyone is berating the umps for missing or making shit calls.
They missed it. It's a dangerous tackle and should have been a free against Sicily.

Obviously players were tougher because they dealt with that stuff and kept playing.
It doesn't mean it was a good thing.
But at the same time the lack of smashing into each other chasing the ball is something I miss.
The commitment to get the ball first and win the contest was something awesome about the game and now players stand back and wait. Something's been lost because of that.

It absolutely wasn't. Think most unbiased sane people all agree the same on this matter. It was an unfortunate accident which happens in football. Thankfully McCluggage is okay.

So am I biased and insane for thinking that points three and four easily apply here?
Point 3 didn't apply.
Point 4 did but Coleman pushed Sicily. Before Sicily attempted to tackle he was moving the other way. Also Mcluggage tripped and fell backwards contributing to excessive force.
This tackle should've got 0 weeks and was awarded holding the ball. Nobody even realised mcluggage was concussed for quite a while. It was innocuous.
There's 100 of them a year.

Pretty similar. Just missing the slinging and the forceful head contact with the ground. So the things that make It dangerous.

Point three is arm(s) pinned as the example. In the other thread you keep arguing "when should Sicily let go" but here you're saying he didn't have the arm at all?
More holes in your defence than an English batsman

Identical lunging tackle which rolled the opponent. It'll get weeks and everyone will be concerned
Not pinned.

So he did let go? Why do you keep asking me when he should let go then?
Is Sicily still holding his arm now? Do you classify a hold of an arm for less than a second a pin?
You're weird.

is Sicily still holding the arm here?
How about here?
Oops! Too late Sis!
Point 3 applies, your dismissive opinion does not
This all happened in less then a second. Not pinned.
Usually if I pin something it will stay pinned for more than a second.

Well then point three definitely applies then, because he doesnt allow opportunity for mcluggage to protect himself!
He had his other arm free and closer to the ground. So that's reasonable opportunity for Mcluggage to protect himself so point does not apply. Gee you must like getting owned by me.

Must be trolling, because nobody can be this dumb.
Sicily has no time to let go of Mcluggages left arm, but mcluggage has ample time to reach his right arm across his body and down to stop his head hitting the turf
Got to love the how it should be done crew on here who watch it over and over in slow motion thinking that is how it is on the ground. Clearly an enormous number of posters on BF have never ever played footy.

I didn't say that but interesting you've now fallen in this trap.
So which one is it Maddo11, the players had time, the players didn't have time to react?

These are your own arguments

No I said he had less than a second.
You never answered my previous post.
I'll ask again. So which one is it, the players had time, the players didn't have time to react?

Problem is crowds are up & revenue is booming for the AFL.
Game is only going to get worse. ppl don't talk with their wallet anymore.
