Yep. Fairly quiet game from him though. 8 possessions, 8 hit outs and a point. Tough at Williamstown in the wind. He seems to have a lot of potential but a long way to go at this stage.Did he play on the weekend?

Deserved. Very easy decision to make for me.
has Dodo handed you the reins to managing contracts? Kudos!Deserved. Very easy decision to make for me.
See post #84, believe it or not.Anyone have vision of it?
I thought it looked more like he was trying to get out of the way a bit. Nothing malicious about it. Two guys running after a ball and one of them has "eyes only for the footy".Shame he knocked some guy out but I like the physicality
I saw it. Not sure it was worth 4 but he did basically run into him late and there was high contact and it was a decent hit.I don't think a VFL decision has been overturned at tribunal since before COVID
penalising the outcome, not the action
Also, you’re penalising him because the other kid didn’t attack the footy properly. He didn’t turn his body, he just ran straight at him front on and lowered his head. He goes about it properly and turns his body and there is no issue, he just gets crunched by a bigger player with more mass. Also it looks from that angle as if the ball is wedged between them, so you can’t say he ran past the footy or wasn’t genuinely contesting it.
Completely unacceptable penalty.
And that's what it's about isn't it? First to the ball, lead with your head and reward yourself with a concussion.Pause the video and step through, the GCS player clearly gets to the ball first. Careless & High, tick tick. Severe, well that's up to interpretation I guess but the kid was knocked out.

As I said earlier, looks more like Vigo tries to get put of the way. I wouldn't describe his actions as a tackle/bump.Onus is on the player making contact not to do so illegally. Visentini didn't manage it. Don't mind him going in hard by any means, but the onus is on the player tackling / bumping doing so in an appropriate manner.
This isn't a complicated one.
