Chapman - sling tackle

[MightyHawks]

Hope Chappy plays against us next week.

What would be the fun in beating an undermanned Geelong?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

4 pages for a nothing incident.

Geez

 

[roosaints]

Can someone explain the difference between what Chapman did tonight to what Hocking did to Kerr a fortnight ago?

I don't for one second think that Chappy should be rubbed out, but I said the same for Hocking. Both are NOT sling tackles. If the MRP are consistent ...

... forget it. Who am I kiddin'?

Still yet to read an answer to this.

All the responses are along the lines that the incident was nothing, the player was not injured and that he should not be suspended. I agree. But so were the Hocking, Armitage and King tackles and they all got suspended. The rule stinks but that doesn't mean it can be selectively ignored.

Again - if Armitage, Hocking and King get suspended, why wouldn't Chapman? What is the difference?

 

[Commando]

clearly holding the ball - incorrect disposal

sharrods hair came out of the incident ok so clearly no case to answer.

 

[danielnajdek]

wonder if the media will replay chapmans sling tackle and selwoods trip 4000 times like a certain incident last week

and everyone who's saying sharrod wasn't injured so chapman wont get anything.did the guy armitage sling and get a week for get injured???

just sumthing for you guys to ponder over.

 

[HulkHawkins]

Also add the trip to Didak from Selwood in the first term.

You call that a trip, maybe you're tripping

SEN have confirmed at Collingwood's recovery that Wellingham had slight concussion, which is in their medical report. Doubt he will go but it will be looked at.

 

[scruffydog]

When I saw it, I loudly yelled out that it was a sling tackle and that Chappy is gone for 2-3 weeks.

Of course, there's no way it should even be looked at, but by today's crap rules, if consistent, he should be suspended

If that's what needs to happen to put serious focus on the fact that the AFL hardline is ruining the game, so be it.

 

[smasha]

don't be so sure.
Crows might dob him in on tuesday.

lmao

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

lmao

Calm down mate. Go have a drink.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Yep. Another beautiful tackle that's going to be rewarded with a week on the sideline. Might be lucky if he has no points hanging over? Unlike my man

 

[greennick]

Free kick I thought. Dropping the ball.

There's no such rule

 

[greennick]

Anyone got footage of it?

 

[Fasta_123]

yeha i noticed it. he did sling him to the ground but wellinghams head didnt seem to be effected at all. no whiplash or anything. Would be very stiff to cop a week for it. However there were a fw collingwood mates over last night who were calling for his head after it lol

selwoods trip on didak anyone? Surely warrants at least a look

Incorrect disposal is a rule, but that has been relaxed over the last few years that if the ball is "knocked free due to the tackle", it is not classified as incorrect disposal. Very grey rule, which is hard to police.

Dead on! theres also that wacky rule if you make an attempt then its play on. Which, well, i always though was a great tackle and should be rewarded for not letting him getting a possession and therefor is 'dropping the ball'

I think there was only one holding the ball rule last night which was very very stiff on fasolo...

pretty soft

[Mitchell Madness]

Nothing in it.

Was a tackle onto the opponents chest, not onto his head.

Although, cant say hawthorn would miss him out there XD

 

[Fasta_123]

looking at it in slow mo, chappys very lucky wellinghams head didnt hit the ground. Not that there was anything wrong with the tackle. Just the crazy MRP would have had a fun time making up a new rule and suspending him thats for sure/.

 

[Paddywhackers]

I think Chapman might be safe but Duck Selwood will almost certainly get weeks i'm afraid.

I'm sure Eddie will use his spot on MMM to advise the Match Review Panel of what it should do
