View attachment 1389142Right so went down the MRO guidelines rabbit hole. This is what they’ve got him on.

I feel like this rule wasn’t written with the Young incident in mind.
Has to have head down over the ball according to this wording. This rule is to eliminate spinal cord injuries, has nothing to do with Young's perfect bump. We better ****ing fight it.
 
“Lewis Young, Carlton, has been charged with Forceful Front-On-Contact against Cameron Zuhaar, North Melbourne, during the fourth quarter of the Round Seven match between Carlton and North Melbourne played at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, April 30, 2022.

In summary, the player can accept a one-match suspension with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, High Impact, Body Contact. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.”
How is it high impact when Zuhaar played out the match? He didn't seem impacted by the bump at all.

Stand your ground bump opponent he goes off plays out rest of game 1 week, Bump someone in side with a tackle/bump hurt your own shoulder 1 week, Whistles gone guy in front of you flys you take his legs on purpose could've landed wrong and done a knee/flip do neck 1 week.

That incompetent campaigner at the MRO has lost the plot and just keeps showing how biased and out of touch he is with the game. Must be sacked ASAP.

We’ve been told that if you choose to bump you need to accept the consequences.

Ok. Well. Young bumped, didn’t hit Zurhar’s head, didn’t even injure the bloke (he played on). So… on what basis has he gotten a week?

They've done him on the Byron Pickett rule.
Micheal Christian is a complete and utter muppet.
 
I didn’t know that “Forceful front-on contact” was enforceable.

It’s been graded as careless, high impact and body contact.

I thought it was an exceptionally well executed shirtfront and I thought it was good for the game and totally legal.

It's the Byron Pickett Rule. To ensure players with their head over the ball aren't put into a wheelchair. Christian has just tried to apply it to a completely different situation.
We have to appeal, it should be thrown out before we even get to the tribunal.
 
They said there wasn’t high contact though, it was ‘body contact’. It’s ‘high impact’, as in he hit him hard.

Or more accurately, there was potential for serious injury.

AFL makey-uppey bullshit. Sometimes a player gets off because the injury is negligible. Other times the injury is negligible but the player gets reamed because "it might have been worse".

I'm all for penalising the act, not the outcome, but they pick and choose when they want to apply that interpretation.

High impact that resulted in… Zurhaar being fine to play out the game. I don’t think they know what high impact is. Surely it should result in some significant damage? Or it’s just a vibe situation. Felt like it could have hurt?

If they want to penalise potential for severe injury then Larkey should have been offered much more than 1 week.


Surely it’s an easy one to contest though… otherwise any legal bump/tackle/contest that’s hard would receive the same scrutiny. Plus no high contact and Zurhar didn’t have his head down over the ball or anything like that.
