Pickett's for me was the worst incident this year and only got the two.I know we have had good luck with the MRP/Tribunal in the past couple of years, but that clumsy oaf Nankervis only getting 3 weeks is an absolute joke and proves what a farce it is. Same penalty as Sicily (who was very stiff to get 3)
Just really mind boggling.
Yeah that was a concerted effort to hurt the opponent.Pickett's for me was the worst incident this year and only got the two.
Definitely notYou should not be getting suspended for that.
Yep, that’s crud.You should not be getting suspended for that.
Joke
Now for N Daicos to get rubbed out for similar…..AFL House will be burnt down
He gets plenty of in the back frees. I just figured it was because he was often at the bottom of packs.Yep, that’s crud.
Cerra has a tendency to assist physical contact to draw a free.
Does sprawl forward when contact comes from behind.
Have seen players assist the tackle to draw head contact with the ground now also.
Not a fan of this.
That’s definitely part of it, Cerra hunts the ball and goes every time.He gets plenty of in the back frees. I just figured it was because he was often at the bottom of packs.
This was just given the same punishment as Pickett. Bewildering stuffPickett's for me was the worst incident this year and only got the two.
I’m very concerned about Boyd’s tackle on Byrne-Jones, I’ll bet that another legitimate part of the game for 150 years will result in being cited to go to the tribunal.
Watching the replay, DBJ was subbed off for concussion post incident

Are we completely sure that this caused the concussionI’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get cited and cop a week. Not to say the tackle warrants the punishment, but given the primary focus seems to be on the end result, it’s hard to see how Boydy won’t escape the firing line.
Are we completely sure that this caused the concussion
The intelligent MRO will manage to declare causation
just watching the replay (was at Marvel yesterday).The tackle wasn’t reckless, Boyd took him ground to try and stop him kicking at goal.
However DBJ hit the ground with his head so it will be determined as insufficient duty of care.
My issue with this is that a player going for goal would rather be hurt trying to score than to protect themselves in a tackle.
Same as a player willing to hurt them selves flying for a pack mark.
Or as we saw last week with Saady getting kneed in the back of the head.
We can’t prevent these moments in footy regardless of outcome.

Disagree that his head hit the ground first, his side (of his body) did then head....it was simply a very good tackle imo.
