For what it's worth, I don't recall the broadcast commentators during the game saying much about Logue's bump.

I reckon they did a bit. I don't think they banged on about it, but it got a little bit of a notice.

 

[scottywiper]

Elbow to head. Bound to be conveniently overlooked.

Vision G.R. ?

[SMaturin]

Has to be cited.

Will be explained away as only the AFL can.

Kellie underwood banged on about it Dermie was about to say nothing in it when she butted in and he went with the wind

Cya Harry M.

 

[Quivorir]

Two weeks for Sheezel. Easily could have avoided that.

 

[danj]

Cya Harry M.

If the louge sanction is the benchmark the Harry gets 2 weeks

 

[danj]

Oh and what’s with the commentator? Nothing wrong with that!!!! FFS

Cya Harry M.

Did he even get a free ?

 

[sruss]

Did he even get a free ?

Yeah, they paid it downfield which in this case was about 15 meters behind where Harry kicked it from. Even when we got frees, they were a literal disadvantage!

 

[Horace]

Not a reportable action. After all, he did, after first lifting his arms to hit Sheezel in the head, went a bit further by raising his arms even higher in the air to indicate sorry.

 

[shinboner magic]

If he isn’t done for that -we might as well walk away from this sport

 

[Dingster]

I'm not a fan of anyone getting weeks for that. It should just be a free. Those rules tho....

I thought that Dermie and another former player said no big deal but the play by play woman (whose name escapes me) thought he would get done.

Her official title is Monotony Miss

The explanation will be insufficient force or Michael Christen will conveniently forget the potential to cause injury clause that he used for Logue.

By the letter of the law, he chose to bump and made contact to the head. If this game has a shred of integrity then he gets suspended, no ifs or buts.

Yeah it’s about consistency but as we saw today , that doesn’t exist in the afl world

Let’s face it. The AFL is becoming about as real as the WWE.

It’s all about clicking the turnstiles over and Carlton winning is good for the AFL’s pockets.

As the AFL has brought in the clubs ability to question umpiring not because it’s a bad look, but it allows them to try and engineer results without repercussions.

That was a dumb hit from Harry, when you’re 205cm you always run the risk of collecting a midfielder high. No need to hit him at all, period. I think he’ll be cited and will get fined, wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a week either and wouldn’t be disappointed with either result.

 

[JGreezy]

McKay's is worse than Logue's, in my opinion. Both should have been low impact but thats not how things are done now.

Logue ran at the ball, braced for contact and got him too high.

McKay just decided that he wanted to forearm Sheezel in the head, for no reason.

It’s two weeks and be thankful it’s all he cops

I was certain when I read the match report on the AFL site on the way home from the game the passage about McKay said it would likely be a fine. Looks like it has been updated so read into that what you will...
