Just read on Herald Sun.com.au...

  • NEW Carlton skipper Chris Judd has made a successful AFL practice match debut in a nine-point win over the Western Bulldogs at Princes Park.
The Blues won 13.15 (93) to 12.12 (84), with Judd playing most of the first three quarters and looking in solid form and fitness.

But there were some worries for Carlton, with Andrew Walker leaving the ground in the first term with an apparent shoulder injury and Marc Murphy reported in the third term for making high contact to the Bulldogs' Mitch Hahn.

According to a report on Melbourne radio station 3AW more than 12,000 people turned out at Princes Park.

Who was reported Waite or Murphy?

I didn't think there was too much in it, there weren't even any Bulldogs players who went in and remenstrated with Murphy. A reprimand at worst I think.

Yeah I agree, definitely worth a free kick but impact was minimal and the Hahn did duck his head just before contact came (looked like that from my vantage point, anyway).

Good point about no Doggies remonstrating, usually a good indicator that it was an unavoidable accident.

Not necessarily, frustratingly the Dogs players don't seem to do the push and shove after a hit often.

Looked very similar to the hit Murph took against the Hawks

Sure did........but the Ump took Waites number when he got his book out, so not sure what the story is here.

If it's Waite he could be in trouble with 93 points hanging over him for the "tummy tap" vs the Hawks.

It did look a lot like the Murph and Kennedy bump. Hopefully the club has video of the game and they can clear it.

I think the Ump was confused as to who delivered the "hit"

Surely that goes to credibility.
If he couldn't be sure which player did it.......can he be sure about anything he saw that day your honour?:p

If the AFL's serious about neck injuries, they'll start reporting players who duck their head into tackles like that. If you go in head-down and head-on into a tackle you bear as much responsibility as the person charging in my book.

In fairness to Hahn, he was picking up the footy at the time, so you can't really put the blame on him for ducking down low.
 
I didn't see the incident itself. But I did find it odd that there was no argy-bargy afterwards, which told me it couldn't have been that bad. But I truly don't know.

If Murph is in trouble for this, shouldnt the guy from Hawthorn be aswell?? He did a similar thing to Murph and he got off for it.......

yes I tend to agree with you there..... looks like a similar incident.....
just saw footage of it on channel 7 news so it is on tape although having said that, there is a player standing in the foreground & you cannot actually see the contact because that player is blocking vision of it.

The footage on the news shows Murphy holding his ground and Hahn putting his head over the ball. Murphy really had nowhere to go so I cant se how he could possibly be in trouble.
 
I had the most perfect angle of the incident, and I tell you what, I wasn't happy about the report.

Marc was charging in for the ball from one way, the Dogs fellow popped up from the side and bent over to pick up the ball and simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Marc tried to pull out, so I think that will be the real defining factor.

I want Murphy to be part of the team that smacks Richmond:thumbsu:.
