joegarra said:In my opinion the injury shouldn't come into it. Whether a player is hurt or not is a matter of mm which the player can't control. What he can control is the action eg going past the ball and lining someone up = 3 weeks in my book. Tackling a player and then slinging him around into the ground potentially causing serious injury = 3 weeks as well (all in my opinion of course). Unless you penalise the act and not the outcome, footballers will keep performing the act and gambling that the outcome isn't severe.

heh heh another one robbo got wrong. Blamed Richmond when maxwell simply suggested the afl steward shouldn't have let him on until 20 mins was up.Tigers of Old said:The AFL has admitted that they stuffed up re Titch's concussion sub.
Al Bundy said:imo Gordon would have got 3 weeks with an early plea got 2 had none of the Syd players done anything wrong.
Was let off as they went light on Sydney the love child of the AFL and not to be seen to be favouring Syd, Gordon slipped through unscathed.
Well thats my take.
Nico said:Spot on Joe. I was a bleeder in my footy days...would always get a blood nose with a knock to the head. If Shed was a bleeder, Buddy would have got 4 weeks as a blood-splattered face on Friday night footy isn't a good look. Shed brushed himself off, played on (after a rest), so Buddy gets 1 week. The outcome (ie. injury) should be totally irrelevant; the actual act should be the only thing that is taken into consideration.

18:05 remaining in the last qtr.
Jack's just kicked a goal.
The ball's on its way back to the centre.
While Jack's drinking from his water bottle - his opponent gives Jack a gentle head butt from behind.
Jack squirts him in the face with the water bottle.
Classic Jack. Gotta love him.
Vlastuin was unlucky as wellSmoking Aces said:How does Rohan get a vote? He went missing after half time. Vlaustin very unlucky.
Must have had Rohan confused with someone else, because he had a very good first half, but wasn't a factor from that point on.Smoking Aces said:How does Rohan get a vote? He went missing after half time. Vlaustin very unlucky.
Just lucky we won the game anyway or it could have been a massive siren gate type disaster for the AFL. Robbed Ty of his shot at goal n the Swans player missed his shot. Could legitimately have been a two goal turn around in a cliff hanger match.Tigers of Old said:The AFL has admitted that they stuffed up re Titch's concussion sub.

The free kick-plus-50m penalty for interchange infringements was always a massive overreaction by the AFL. Completely unnecessary.TigerMasochist said:Just lucky we won the game anyway or it could have been a massive siren gate type disaster for the AFL.
