News Worpel given a week for tackling opponent

[Strapping Young Lad]

Slung him to the ground by the arm. Hardly a shock to see that get a week

Ok then, so what’s this then?

 

[bumsonseats]

One gets a week and another doesn't get a mention

Gee.....the more I look at this the more I shake my head.
The AFL agenda is clear for all to see here

Nah the Worpel tackle is clearly more "slingy" than the other

By "slingy" you mean Worpel pulls him down to the ground as he falls backwards?

And the Swans tackle on Worpel is more "speary" where Worpel is driven in to the ground head first.

In the Pies Demons game yesterday a Pies player slung a Demons player over the boundary line and the Demons player didnt even have the ball.

No penalty.

By slingy i mean he slings him to the ground. Definitely got the brown and gold goggles on

May as well call it touch footy from now on.

 

[sprockets]

This wasn't reported.

Yep that is the one I mentioned 2 posts up. Incredibly dangerous and the Demons player didnt even have the ball. No mention by the MRP.

Because the mediandidnt mention it.

Another shithouse decision to add to the growing list of shithouse decisions.

Your mentality is everything that is wrong with our game.

You don’t need to slug someone in a tackle. Just listen to Malcolm Blight about this…

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Joke that he could get a week for rough conduct for a tackle like that - while the incident where he is tackled himself doesn’t even get looked at.....but in the face of it being deemed “rough conduct” while Mackay walks free after cannoning into someone and busting their jaw, the system is utterly broken.

missed this one. absolute garbage. good tackle

Its pretty obvious that no matter what the reason, any time someone is even moderately hurt there will be a suspension.

But if there is no injury its a literal roll of the dice as to whether the MRO will bother.

a week for a good tackle is just WRONG, reward the good tackles the players lay, not report the players, Mackay got none and that was more deliberate (not saying he should of got anything) there is something wrong with the Afl these days, they dont let you go in hard for the ball or contest or really do anything

I'm not listening to MB and I ain't listening to you anymore, as with Christian and Hocking, you're everything that is ruining our game.

Apparently they’re completely different things.

They were completely different.

In the second incident, the tackler was wearing a red and white jumper

Nothing to see here, folks. Move on.
