MRP / Trib. 2023 MRP Lotto

I disagree. I think he absolutely could have gone lower, and although we don't like it a split second decision is still a decision

There is no justification here. It was fair, there was nothing wrong with that act.

 

[Ashley B]

The bump wasn’t high though if it was his head would have been smashed

He could have and then get crunched himself. That’s my issue with this

He could have gone lower. He could've done a backflip, he could've done a handstand, he could've done the ****ing heil hitler salute. Why would he have gone lower? Why would that have even made a difference? The only thing he could possibly have achieved by going lower would be a massive injury to himself. Are you not allowed to run with a bouncing ball and grab it when it bounces up?

 

[shinboner magic]

So they’re asking for Louge to position his head lower to the players centre of mass?

Is that correct?

You *ign morons

Yeah they wanted log to put his head lower to get concussed

The AFL is clearly becoming a 'tv game', where a 'bad look' trumps on-field reality.

Till it’s one of their favs

Can bookmark it that the exact same thing will happen and no case to answer

 

[Gasometer]

I think people have to realise that, due to a billion dollar lawsuit and evidence tgat people are severely suffering later in life due to concussion, choosing to bump is no longer a 'football act'

The fact is that Logue could have gone lower, but he chose to ignore the ball and bump. This is going to be a suspension every time in the current environment

‘What we would like to see is Griffin Louge further lowering himself and ultimately being put in a wheelchair for the rest of his life….verdict held’

Essentially. The club has to appeal based on the integrity of the game for all clubs and for everyone involved

 

[Ashley B]

I have seen heaps of bumps worse than that this yr and players hurt yet they pick this one what a surprise and no one was hurt ? It’s cheating bullshit

 

[Disco Dew]

‘What we would like to see is Griffin Louge further lowering himself and ultimately being put in a wheelchair for the rest of his life….verdict held’

Surely someone has to pick this up in the wider media. It actually makes no sense whatsoever

 

[Kanga Glory]

If that’s the standard, then let’s hope it’s appllied to every other incident

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

The most pathetic part of this is the afl charging 10k of your soft cap if you fail in challenging their stage managed theatre.

 

[Disco Dew]

If that’s the standard, then let’s hope it’s appllied to every other incident

Narrator: it wasn’t

 

[Ashley B]

I don’t give a shit about the rules they have picked out one of about 50 and guess who they play for

 

[shinboner magic]

Our counsel was a pussy

Didn’t highlight that log went for the ball enough and didn’t highlight that if he didn’t brace he’d of been knockout

 

[Boner Spirit]

Small club tax strikes again....

He could have gone lower. He could've done a backflip, he could've done a handstand, he could've done the ******* heil hitler salute. Why would he have gone lower?

Are you not allowed to run with a bouncing ball and grab it when it bounces up?

but thats not what he did? ultimately, he made a decision to ignore the ball and bump Day, regardless of whether it was a split second decision or not

I also strongly disagree with this contention that going lower leaves him open to injury. Players are taught very early on to go low and turn the body to the side, something he absolutely could have done -- for clarity, that's what I meant by 'go lower'. Instead, he stayed upright and chose to bump

 

[Ashley B]

Fk Carlton the curse is going on this week do it later in the week. Let’s see if it works lol

 

[sheridan]

If that’s the standard, then let’s hope it’s appllied to every other incident

unfortunately no chance of that… this result is proof enough…

 

[Wels Eicke]

In the Northern states they've called footy aerial pingpong for years. And I think they've been vindicated for coining that phrase. We're almost there.

You go lower and choose to bump if you're looking at the other guy going for the ball along with you and getting ready for the impact well in advance. That's not what happened here. Logue was running with a loose ball trying to mop it up and another player ran into him with very poor technique and no positioning to protect himself. He wasn't expecting it until the very last moment, at which point he was already upright.

 

[DuckYeah]

That appears to be the issue. Dennis Denuto would have put up a better defence

 

[AnEmptyChair]

fwiw Liam Boy im not saying whether it's right or wrong, i just don't think this is anywhere near as egregious a decision as many people here are making out. there's no fix or corruption or any of that pathetic nonsense. I can understand why they came to the decision they did under the current guidelines, and especially in the current environment around head knocks.

 

[shinboner magic]

And this us why the club hardly challenge these cases.
The fix is in

 

[pjcrows]

The tribunal is a kangaroo court. They have their outcome and work backwards from there, ignoring all evidence and logic.
