Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 6 - Cats v Swans Sat April 22nd 7:25pm AEST (GMHBA)

[PhatBoy]

Oh look it’s a Geelong fan commenting on how a Geelong player shouldn’t be suspended for a dog act

Oh look it’s a tigers fork and spoon operator accusing a Geelong player of deliberately targeting someone he clearly didn’t deliberately target.

F*** off mate

 

[Lingsface]

Duncan had enough time to turn his body… would he then not have had enough time to evade contact? As you said the Swans player was past the ball so Duncan should’ve tried to go around him to get to the ball

We’ll probably not as one requires actual lateral movement.

He doesn’t need to move he was lining on the ball the guy slides and goes past the ball so if anyone is in the wrong it is fox. If Duncan was injured and he went past the ball it would be similar to the Prestia and Stewart incident.

 

[RandB]

Clearly got him head high. It comes down to whether it's deemed a bump or a brace.

Rubbish. Duncan did nothing wrong.

 

[Elixuh]

Bahahahahaha in the time it took for his opponent to run PAST the ball by 2-3 metres you’re suggesting he should have thought to evade him. Do you realise how little time that actually is?

Afl players are professional athletes. If he had time to lower his shoulder to his fox in the head he could have also elected to dodge fox

 

[#23 Hill]

Richmond victim mentality is hilarious.

Didn't you know they're invincible? They never lose. They only have wins stolen from them.

 

[ChristianBoy]

Clearly braced.

 

[wian]

Like Tom Boyd…

It's time for the AFL to take Geelongs biased home ground advantage away.

The only Victorian team who has a true suburban ground advantage Which is massive compared to all the other Victorian clubs. The major reason the geelong flogs make finals year after year.

Absolute raught of the system.

Disgusting..

 

[Walter H White]

There is no way Duncan should be suspended. Where the **** was Fox going? Blud, the ball was 10 metres the other way lol. Players should be able to brace for contact and protect themselves from lunatic actions like Fox's there.

 

[Hayes4PM]

This unfortunately. What else is he meant to do.
Will get rubbed out though.

Different angles make it look kind of different, the camera angle of Duncan front on makes it look like he’s watching Fox and leans his shoulder down to make contact with his head. But the real time camera angle from behind Duncan just made it look like he braced and Robbie lost his feet and happened to go at him head first.


It’ll be a real pickle to adjudicate if you were trying to be a fair MRO while also trying to deter further instances. However the AFL MRO is just a frontman for whatever spin the AFL want each week and head knocks are the flavour of the month so with that said, 3 weeks.

 

[VinnieB]

Not sure about Kath's outfit this evening. Is that pink or peach?

 

[VicBased]

Come on , we all know Geelong are the new protected species. Dangerfields eye gouge and studs up didn't even get looked at.
This one will end up in the same bin.

 

[docko911]

Can’t have it both ways… it’s either the new age of the stand rule, 666 and no bumps which means Duncan gets suspended OR it’s no 2022 flag for Geelong.

slips and misses the ball and Duncan turns to brace for contact. Watching it in real time not sure what else Duncan is supposed to do. Fox contributes a lot to the impact but judging by the MRO head contact means a week.

Surely it was worth a shot rolling Francis back to defense instead of having Mills fight for his life against Hawkins.

Guys first game back after mental health battle…” See that guy he is 10 cm bigger than you and it’s your first game also he’s the best player in the competition, this should help your confidence.”

 

[YeoShuey]

I think Duncan should get off. Players like him and Cotchin shouldn’t be suspended for stuff like that.

 

[Big Papa Ted]

One of these actions takes considerably more effort than the other

Is this supposed to be a serious comment? Pulling his arm, already next to his torso, into his torso, is supposed to take the equivalent time of moving a 90kg frame sideways while running at speed towards the ball, because his opponent elected to go past the ball?

This is rare physics

 

[Bald]

Like Tom Boyd…

This is an all time shit comparison lmao.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I like hearing Jobe say “yup”

 

[PhatBoy]

Can’t have it both ways… it’s either the new age of the stand rule, 666 and no bumps which means Duncan gets suspended OR it’s no 2022 flag for Geelong.

Cry more

 

[PhatBoy]

This is an all time s**t comparison lmao.

Why?

He could have spun and weaved to dodge him

Afl players are extremely agile with really good reaction times

 

[Red Bull]

Aaron Francis eh …

Yeah no he couldn’t. Why couldn’t fox Dodge Duncan? He dodged the ball easily enough?
