Should be tossed out nothing in it, but can see why the MRP sent it to the tribunal.

Am I a dumb campaigner or is that not a good tackle?

10 years ago yes but there is whiplash and what not, that said I hope it's thrown out.

Well it resulted in someone’s head being pummeled in to the ground, so not really

talk about exaggeration!

Her body took most of the impact, there was some slight incidental contact of the head on the ground, but it was not caused by the tackler putting the player in a dangerous position.

If you start rubbing out players every time someones head hit the ground, there won't be enough players left to field sides each week.

Suspension should not be THE detterrant to change behaviour, it's reactionary and too far after the event to change the behaviour like people want to.

Suspension is designed to elimanate non-footballing acts that cause danger or impact to another player out of the game, it is not there to help reinforce rules around footballing acts, that is the umpires job to do that on the spot.


If people want this to be a suspension, then we might as well just move to touch footy, it's as simple as that.

the only reason Chrisso sent it to the tribunal, is he wants to keep his job.

But it's the exact reason he shouldn't be in the position

Would it have been sent to the tribunal if Paige had suffered a devastating knee or hip injury, seriously affecting the rest of her life?

Not making light of brain injury and concussion as it is serious and can lead to long term health issues, but so do many other injuries yet only concussions are sent to the tribunal.

Yes

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Probably the best tackle in the history of AFLW. Absolute joke that this is up before the tribunal.

 

[Hank Heavenly]

and it got off, as it should...

Disgraceful anyone thinks it should have been cited in the first place

 

[HairyO]

Sometimes when you pin both arms its good. Sometimes when you pin both arms its bad.

But you wont know which until the Tribunal decides.

Just on this tackle. Kemp for the hawks had the chance for the same tackle against Geelong. She instead out herself in a vulnerable position and knocked herself out
