probably good timing if his shoulder is still sore

Trial. By. Media.

 

[carlton_99]

Appeal. I don't care if he is going to miss with injury or not. There is no reportable act there. It is clear he is trying to smother the ball - you cannot legislate against accidents in AFL

Weird that two 6'9/10 blokes jumping into each other to hit an oblong ball that's been randomly thumped into the ground would produce variable outcomes.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Chook Lotto strikes again

Not so concerned as I would’ve given him some time off anyway for that banged up shoulder, if he was 100% fit I’d challenge.

 

[reg_lower91]

Confident in us successfully challenging Acres’ suspension.

Looks like he goes in for an unsuccessful smother:


Then braces for impact to protect himself:


Think we could argue incidental head-high contact from a non-bump. Let’s see.

 

[BlueJet]

Not surprised, they've stated that accidental contact to the head will be punished - that it's the same outcome as Logue's effort is ****ing weird though.

This angle is probably not great for my argument above, although it shows very minor contact was made to the head. So we could potentially even argue low-impact…

Logue lucky Day is tough as nails and bounced straight up, would’ve sent most into next week.

 

[Accidental genius]

shoulder made contact with head. it wasn't very aggressive but contact was made. was the oppo player ok - did he keep playing?

Yes purely accidental so was Buddy running past the ball to elbow someone accidental both actions get a week what a load of bull Christian can go get f’d

The incident was in the 4th quarter with 30 seconds left in the game - and they put 2nd quarter for some reason...

Also, how do they judge it as medium impact when there was 30 seconds left in the game?

Was only 40 seconds in the game left

 

[BigFrizz36]

Be interesting to see whether O'meara (freo) gets charged. Went for a mark and got nowhere it and concussed Witherden in the process. Was really running obstruction for Darcy? Witherden helped cause it but did O'meara have a duty of care?

 

[I bleed Blue]

Ummm. I just saw the Logue hit.

That is meant to be the same penalty as Acres?

Am I ridiculously bias? Am I drunk?

That was 10 times worse incident.

Our current MRO system is out of whack

 

[DangerousD]

What is the threshold for the grading system? You could apply the careless conduct and high, to all high tackles in game and give a fine,

Careless conduct, high, medium impact.

Firstly there is enough precedent to determine if the contact was medium or low(to me it looks low)

 

[lukep_86]

Just saw the Logue bump and it's so confusing that him and Acres get the same penalty.

Looks to me like Blacres braces for contact, don't know what other option he could have taken except back out of the contest completely or let himself get cleaned up.

They really need to look at intent and other options a player could have taken when assessing these situations, but that would be the common sense approach

 

[cookie monster]

Incidental contact from going for a smother, rated 50% as bad as kozi Pickett lining up an opposition player as if it was the 1980s.

How do we always seem to be in the receiving end of this shit?

Yes I know and it just goes to show that MR MRO has NFI!

 

[Arr0w]

As previously stated, I welcome tougher base penalties for intentional acts that result in head high contact, extra loading for concussion/injuries.

Especially if you have another viable option such as bumping lower, tackle, smother

The careless rating is just crap, it should be accidental, with a lesser penalty

The force of which Logue laid that bump, which also clipped Day high, should be 2 weeks (Kosi was a 3 week hit)

If you had that consistency, then I could cop Acres getting 1 week

 

[Blue_Fusion]

What a crock of shit...

He went for a smother and then braced for impact.

As part of Daniels' own kicking action, he lowered himself.

The elbow doesn't even come up at all... his arm is flat against his body and they deem that medium impact? What are these morons smoking?

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

[TENACIOUS]

It's not all bad...
Now he's forced to rest the shoulder for a week, Come back fresh vs the Crows...
