Do you realise how stupid that sounds though? Yeah, the onus is on the tackler and he did nothing wrong.

Then don't post if you're just going to regurgitate the rules. It's a discussion about those rules and how they are blurred. Provide an opinion, don't be a spokesperson for the AFL.

Jack ziebell bump on Goldsack gets no week's ?
Great post spot onThat is a joke that he gets 2, should get 0. AFL have nfi and succumb to media frenzy again.
careless conduct with high impact to the head
high impact definitely
careless? not a chance was that careless. He tackled brown well or maybe slightly in the back. It was the left motion that eventually led to brown dropping the ball and the free kick.
Further browns head was the last per of his body to hit the ground, wasnt driven into the ground but simply fell to the ground in the tackle.
this is litterally just before his head it the ground, you can see he is lying flat on his body before he hit the ground.
Had grundy not done what he had, then brown would have been able to maintain possession and as such grundy was encouraged by the rules of the game to make a second action during which brown was in possession of the ball and as such completely entitled to do.
Should it now be a free kick every time a player's head touches the ground in a tackle?
There have been 23,435 tackles this year and 23,433 have managed to avoid it. I don't think it's nearly as hard as you suggest...

90% of the problems with our game go back to prior opportunity.
Get rid of it and watch the game move and these concussions disappear
Prior opp is a rule to give Under 12 s a chance

The tackle on Treloar was in was far worseand had an element of Malice in it. He just didn't end up in hospital.
It shouldn't be the outcome that dictates the punishment either, as Darcy Moore was in hospital too last week overnight but that player that supplied the elbow to the back of the head wasn't rubbed out.
Just another case of too many rules, they're going have to start having on field lawyers pretty soon.

No they haven't ruled that explicitly, but I think everyone can agree no matter who you barrack for that based on what incidents the MRP have cherry-picked this season (and definitely last season) to make examples of that seems to be the case, I for one would like to see when putting out their decisions and suspensions rather than just their point weightings ie careless 1 point, head-high 3 points for them to also outline specifically what rule the incident was infringing, I think that would go a long way in helping the punters understand their decision-making

It's a rather long-winded and comprehensive document that explains pretty much every single rule and action quite explicitly as to what constitutes a legal and illegal action. Surely it's not beyond them to do this, that way it'd be made pretty clear as to what they're basing their decisions on: is it the illegality of the tackle/bump/hit whatever, or is it indeed as what appears to be the current case it's the outcome and not the action itself
Except Brown was stationary and Grundy made a conscious effort to slam him into the ground as hard as he could.
The mrp said the impact on the player was worse, which it was.

They actually have ruled just that
If you tackle and the tackled player hits is head and is hurt - you gone

Umm yes he did , he got suspended ..
Both tackles had malice in them but Ziebul gave Treloar a chance to defend himself. Still I think he should have got a week anyway. He did it because Treloar took three bounces strolling away from him a minute earlier.
Grundy's tackle was a dog act. I did similar things when I played and know why he did it but this sort of rubbish needs to be got rid of. Grundy got off lightly.
Also, of course the outcome should effect the punishment. Are you five years old?
If you think Grundy is a malicious player you have NFI.
I dont think he is a malicious player. I love him as a player, the game needs more like him. I think he committed a malicious act that I'm sure he is embarrassed about and should be punished for it.
Yes they have, one of the shows showed at least 3 or 4 tackles where the arms were pinned and the head slammed into the ground from the same game. Only 1 got a suspension because Brown got hurt. 6The actions dont matter, its the outcome.
Also Ziebells suplex tackle was worse but no injury, no suspension. Hell the MRP didnt even look at it!

...you know why Grundy did this tackle? Good on you Mr Psychic.
Anyway, he copped his week. If any of you bothered to attend the game you would have seen Grundy twice go up to Brown to see if he was ok following the tackle. Grundy was also visibly upset in the rooms afterwards. A tackle that resulted in Brown striking his head..yes. But a malicious act, absolutely no way.
