Toby Greene boot to Luke Dahlhaus face.

[Sentinel]

Anyone can help me out here?
Isn't this his third "fine" offense this year? Shouldn't he get a week? Or is this different?

Because its a misconduct charge, it doesn't apply to the 3 strike rule. Conveniently.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

No, its the motion. If Greene jumped in the air then did the same motion he would use to kick a football, that's kicking.

Is that the only kind of motion that can be deemed "kicking"?

What about if someone catches you in the head with a roundhouse?

Or the crane at the end of Karate Kid?

Starting to feel bad for the cats now. Sorry for saying you guys were sooks about your mrp decisions, you got the rough end of the stick

Where did I say it had to be a drop punt?

If player a is running with the ball and an opposition player about to tackle him, slips and falls on to the stops of player a, did he kick him?

AFL whipping out another "technicality law/rule"... apparently "misconduct" is different... basically its their bandaid rule when they cant quite catch something.

Something like their "Bringing the game into disrepute" rule which they can lay for leaving crusts on Gil's sandwich or taking part in a systemic doping regime. 1 size fits all.

You: "the same motion he would use to kick a football".

No. Probably not.

Please go ahead with another pointless hypothetical.

 

[HairyO]

How can it be misconduct if he had his eyes on the ball and it was accidental contact?

Either it was careless, high and mild/mod force or it was an accident and no fine.

Misconduct doesn't make sense.

Misconduct is the catch all.

He shouldnt have stuck his boot out but it shouldnt have been graded under the standard system.

 

[LoungeLizard]

No. Probably not.

Please go ahead with another pointless hypothetical.

The point being, Greene didn't kick him.

 

[maskmcgee]

You: "the same motion he would use to kick a football".

Again, quote where I said it had to be a drop punt.

I'm right, you're wrong, the MRP's proved it, deal with it.

 

[Aramis]

Joke of a decision... if they want to be hardline head protectors... be consistent. Don't fleet in and out based on flavour of the month. Sick and tired of this organisation.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

That's not demonstrated by your previous post.

Saying "the point being" doesn't mean you've connected any dots.

The quote you responded tidbit don't say you did

It said what if it's a roundhouse kick.

 

[LoungeLizard]

No but you will argue till you die, he didn't kick him, so why are you even arguing?

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Again, quote where I said it had to be a drop punt.

You said it had to be the same action as kicking a football. But that's absurd.

You can conceivably kick someone without it being the same action as kicking a ball.

You've just invented that standard out of thin air.

I'm right, you're wrong, the MRP's proved it, deal with it.

I don't think MRP decisions are proof of anything these days.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

No but you will argue till you die, he didn't kick him, so why are you even arguing?

Point being, something something.

If sulking was an Olympic sport Geelong fans would be carrying our flag. MRP got Dangerfield, Hawkins, Duncan and now Greene all spot on

 

[greatwhiteshark]

The head is sacrosanct!!

SACROSANCT!!!

No it isn't, there is 30 or more head high tackles every game which are not penalised.
It clearly is only sacrosanct in bumping and tackling. The rest of the game the head is open slather.

So kung fu is in!!!!

Great!

 

[Beerfish]

Unless you're Brody Grundy and you get the free kick.

Ah but that was last week. This is this week.

Basically we are no longer penalising the act, but the outcome.

And even then we can't get it straight.

The interpretations of rules in this game are organic. They can change year to year, month to month, week to week, day to day, game to game, quarter to quarter or even minute to minute. That's what makes our game so great!

Boooooooooooolshit!

I thought the head was sacrosanct? Obviously not, so you think a Hawkins push is worse than an errant kick to the head just inches away from the eyes? Fascinating stuff on here.

A $1500 fine for this reckless action is a joke.

Play on!

Was never going to get weeks for that.
Fair decision.
