News 2023 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

This is why the tribunal and Michael Christian are a joke. s**t scared of having to pay sums $$ post football for concussion, but because a player MIGHT cause injury but DIDNT, have a week son. It’s horse s**t.

PS do they not understand that there is thing called momentum and gravity ? How are players humanly possible not meant to tackle and these things happen?

This doesn’t sound promising.

For anyone wanting to get rid of Darcy, Pittonet, or another spud ruck, Briggs is a no brainer this week. I've actually considered trading Gawn to him as they are both scoring the same at the moment and it would net me more than $250k. Don't know if I've got the intestinal fortitude to actually do it, but considering it.

Considering doing Ryan to Briggs to cover Darcy.

Was looking forward to that extra cash for final upgrade(s), but it might be the best play if he can keep tonning until Darcy returns, cover byes well and and cover the ruck line the rest of the year, or be a luxury upgrade trade (a man can dream!).

If Oliver was back it would of been a couple of perfect outcomes

2 weeks hammy is a good result though to be fair.

And so, we have early feedback on the "FREE LAIRD" Result .....from a non-owner

 

[gutsroy]

Haha, I don't own him either, just got caught up in the moment

Always happy for people to avoid carnage, but along with Sicily was looking like a stroke of luck for me to somewhat cover Oliver, so I can only be so happy, you know?

Key reasons:
Players are taken to know if they rotate a player in a tackle so a player’s head is likely to collide with the ground with some force, they will likely have committed a dangerous tackle.

Rotational tackles can happen very quickly and the tackler is sometimes not the only person contributing to it being a rotating tackle. What is the tackler to do?

Every situation is different, but if a player slows instead of slinging, if he releases or doesn’t pin a defensive arm, all things being equal he may be demonstrating a reasonable attempt to avoid or minimise harm to his fellow player.

In our view, that slowing of momentum, that split second moment of care, contributed to Neale not being slung into the ground and being exposed to injury. The charge is dismissed.

In summary: using momentum from the tackle to force ground contact while doing nothing to protect yourself is the new dropping at the knees.

and Lachie Neale is the new Joel Selwood.

Perfect summary. At least Selwood was just getting frees. Neale was getting players suspended

There only one thing left to do…

Put the Captaincy on Laird - the SC gods have spoken

 

[Plugger35]

Disappointing result for us Laird non owners but the right result for football, all these tackling reports and suspensions recently have become a joke.
