Gotta be able to argue that down to low. He slowed down and tried to pull out of the contact. It's not like he hit him hard and the other guy was just a tough nut. The resulting non-injury was the most that was ever going to eventuate.

Roll a tape of all the high fend-offs, the ear clip that Harry himself copped, and argue that any of those incidents had greater capacity for injury given the force involved.

This is tongue in cheek, and I already know the technical answer (No), but could we show Zurhaar fend off to Cerra's left eye, and then ask what the difference between 'incidental' (and not reportable) high contact' and 'medium contact,' is?

 

[kaylamac]

Never in doubt.

Must challenge.

Harry gets double fist to side of head,
Cerra gets eye gouged and nothing

It'd be interesting for someone with IT skills to make a short vid of all the North incidents and then ask what the difference is with H...

We absolutely should

 

[marcmurphy3]

At least it wasn't graded intentional. Medium to low should be easier to argue down. GPS data will show that he slowed almost to a stop before he made contact. What a joke the AFL is.

As a comparison logue last week who cannoned into Day was medium.

 

[The Defender]

Seriously he brushed the back of his neck

 

[SurreyBlue]

I need to find Christian and soon.....

 

[Accidental genius]

buddy and pickett's hit almost kills a player...no worries...H makes a softish contact gets a week. jumping jellyfish there is some serious inconsistencies going on

 

[Benaly28]

Commentators on fox footy saying it’s an easy downgrade.

Medium impact is laughable. Challenge it.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

For what it’s worth - Dunstall just said no way it’s medium impact - we will see.

AFL obviously needs to be seen to pull every trigger they can on head high impacts given the legal stuff going on.

 

[Blue4Life]

So medium impact but no effect on sheezel?

 

[ESKIE]

Harry is stupid for getting himself in this situation however, Christian is even stupider (is that a word)

 

[AB_Blue]

Just downgrade it…happy days

Well it’s his synonym so yeah it’s all good

 

[bengrina]

Football not what it once was. Officiated like a netball game . Should never get a week for that . Hope he gets off . Absolutely farcical

Yeah he’s the flipping stupidest person in the world.
Everyone knows it was Ben, Harry was in the Norf coaches box.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Christian is a ****ing dickhead.

To the tribunal we go, the guy is a consistent ****wit when it comes to penalising Carlton players.

 

[drunkill]

Didn't even touch his head, it was in the shoulder.

Harry is still a big dumb idiot (as shown by his missed goal on the goalline) and this hit was late, but it wasn't high.

McKay getting a week for that is like Zurhaar getting suspended for the fend off the muppet running the show has got the mentality of a chicken.

 

[Arr0w]

Unfortunately, they have remained consistent with suspensions for head high hits

What's not consistent is the penalties they are dishing out, moreso only a week difference between the Kosi and Acres/McKay hits

I'd fight it, but think it will stand

Harry should have changed his approach before contact

If the initial contact was to the shoulder then the following impact to the head (if it slipped up) would definitely be low

The AFL have dug their own grave - careless opens the window.

The thing is the tribunal isn't interested in the afl making a stand. Their job is to adjudicate the case based on the rules the afl put in place. That system is a matrix which spits out a week for Harry based off the match review officer deeming the contact medium. If we can argue that's the wrong call he gets off.

Now if the afl wants to change their rules to say any head high hits no matter how minimal are suspendable that's a different matter but they have to stick to their own rules.
