Melksham got away with an insufficient force last week after glancing Hopper's hard head.

But Langdon went down, it's a tough case to argue it's not a week.

No harm, no foul, call it a fine would do me but I'm not sure Doggies fans would agree :p
 
Yeah, was a pretty decent jump - that's always the killer.
A lot bigger jump than Cameron's in the above video. Might get 1 week with the current climate.
 
You're kidding yourself.
Jumped off the ground, elbow/arm to the head, late hit.

All 3 of those are true for Cameron's too.

Still low impact, high contact, and careless. $1000 fine. Any part of that criteria you disagree with?
 
Love the premise but it's later and he left the ground.

The hope would be that it is deemed insufficient force.
Both of Charlie's feet were in the air, and the ball was out of shot, when contact was applied...
 
Langdon got up virtually straight away, Think a fine would be appropriate considering Wines has a good record.

but we are playing the Bulldogs next week so the AFL will do everything to help them win to get another vic team into the finals.
 
Some seem to think Wines' bump on Langdon warrants weeks.

If the MRP are consistent, it'll be a $1000 fine for high contact, careless, low impact:

Charlie didn't even leave the ground


Wines left the ground, it was late and it was high - you would think a week

Really don't think there was much force in it. Langdon sold it and took a dive that would make Shawn Michaels proud, but then got up pretty much straight away unaffected.

Wines probably will get a week's holiday though, just because you're simply not allowed to touch the head.

Is this a Wines thread? Where is the video of Wines hit.

Not sure why you want to drag Cameron into it. Maybe bring Rory Sloane for breaking somebodies leg. Or even go all the way back to when Tex had a beer.

No one has really addressed the grading system which make any predictions meaningless. For Wines to get a week with no prior record one of two things has to happen. Either it has to be graded intentional or medium impact. Does anyone think either of those gradings appropriately fit the bump? Grading it intentional would be extraordinary harsh considering how infrequently they pull that trigger on bumps (And I would challenge anyone to argue that was his intention) and given some of the genuinely intentional acts being graded conservatively. To grade it medium impact would quite frankly be a disgrace. There is solid contact and I can't see an insufficient force ruling, but the player got straight up and was completely unhurt. If you're saying it is medium impact you have to put it context with other bumps. If they leave the ground/ have to have the concussion test (but pass it and come back on) that is high impact, any injury is (extreme?). In no way does that represent how bumps have been graded in the past, or likely to be in the future. Even though he is probably lucky that Langdon got up (sometimes they don't) they can't justify giving him a week without making themselves look like complete buffoons. People on here like to say that the injury to the player shouldn't matter, but under the grading system that is pretty much all that matters save for a finding of a breach of the rules.

It's in the video you quoted, what are you on about?? Did you leave 3/4 of the way through?
