MRP / Trib. 2023 MRP Lotto

[Colby Cheer Squad]

How accidental was ? McGovern's use of Goldy's face as a doormat ?

He's made a career out of clumsy actions so he will likely escape sanction.

 

[The Anvil]

I agree that it shouldn't be a suspension but it was not a good tackle because it was a free kick against both for push in the back (as awarded by the umpire) and dangerous tackle in that he drove his opponent's head into the ground with his arms pinned. Unlucky, but that's the rules.

Onus is on the player tackling to protect the player’s head. Should have been suspended last week, and once again should he suspended this week.

Is there a bigger ignoramus than Jonathan Brown in the football media?

 

[Kanga Glory]

Pinned arms , head rammed into turf - no case
Wasn’t there a statement that if there was contact to the head even if accidental it would be punished. Also the onus is on the tackler if the arms are pinned.

Yeah I could have sworn that if both arms were pinned and their head hits the turf then you're liable.

Well, it was a good result, but I'm not sure a long bomb to Hurn and McGovern is the perfect kick, tbh.

3. Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackles)
The application of a tackle may be considered Rough Conduct which is unreasonable in the circumstances.
In determining whether the application of a tackle constitutes a Reportable Offence and whether the offence is Careless or Intentional, without limitation, regard may be had to the following factors, whether:
» The tackle consists of more than one action, regardless of whether the Player being tackled is in possession of the ball;
» The tackle is of an inherently dangerous kind, such as a spear tackle or a tackle where a Player is lifted off the ground;
» The Player being tackled is in a vulnerable position (e.g. arm(s) pinned) with little opportunity to protect himself;
» An opponent is slung, driven or rotated into the ground with excessive force

Unfortunately yes, the commentator gene pool is very shallow.

 

[ferball]

Since all this head protection bullshit has a player ever been suspended for knocking out one of our players?

 

[RHLK]

The argument about old school footy vs the new age version is irrelevant; it's about the AFL enforcing their own rules.

You've got more chance of winning lotto than seeing the AFL take a consistent approach to anything under their control.

Did he actually get him high in the end?

I thought it was more the whiplash and subsequent landing from the bump that did the damage?

Still seems more the whiplash more than anything.

Really hope the Saints challenge that...

Wow! It appeared that Ryder was running at the ball carrier but stopped and turned sideways (he did brace for contact). I guess there has been plenty said about paying the price if you elect to bump but a tackle was not an option in this situation (holding the man) and it would not have been appropriate for him to pull out and let the hewthorne bloke have a free run.

 

[Samsquanch]

Harry should get his teammate who handballed that on the openning part of the clip to pay half. That was OOB for sure. And with the cash he saves, he should get some actin' lessons like a real soccer player.

The AFL has tightened its rules around head-high contact for 2022, with more suspensions likely to be given out under tweaks for the Match Review and Tribunal.

Previously when a high bump or front-on contact occurred, “strong consideration” had to be given to the potential to cause injury. New for next season, the potential to cause injury must be factored into the impact grading.

It means, as with striking charges, any high contact with the potential to cause injury will “usually” be classified as either medium, high or severe impact - not low impact.

A medium impact grading along with careless conduct and high contact results in a one-match suspension.
