Very concerned for the teenager from Northern Saints FC, he was cleaned up in the first few seconds of the game by a Jacana pkayer off the line.
Northerns Best Player!!!!
Did not look good, convulsions or a long period of time. Also took a long period of time for the Ambulance to leave. I hope Peter is ok
Not a good sight especially for all to see kids, parents,EDFL etc.
Fortunately Peter is ok. A bit out of it and sore, but he's ok.
Jacana were too good and dominated in the air. 23 marked everything. Cloke played very well, but when he came off the ground halfway through the last quarter there was no need to carry on like such a flog.

Watched the game today.. NS were by far the better side in first half , just didn't capitalize on the inside 50s. Could have been 6 goals up halftime.. 2nd half belong to jacana , dominated the 3rd & ran out the last to win easily.
Huge GF next week. I'll go with Coburg in a ripper.

Let's just say he didn't get knocked out from his head hitting the ground.
So there for head over the footy head high so good clean hit ? What game you watching ? Poorly umpired
But hey everyone is in tilted to and opinion. I'll give credit to the player making the bump he has tried to make contact with the player and his parents. But off the line 10seconds in and head over the footy

No need for the crowd to say some of the stuff they did.
It was a fair hit!
Side on, while play was still going.
Peter does wear a helmet, not sure why, but it was a fair hit mate.
No one wants to see a kid convulse like that, that's for sure.
I hope Pete is okay, I really do.
At least it wasn't behind play, head over the footy and a fair bump. What footy should be about!!!

Oh ok, the hit was on the groin was it? No contact made with the head yes? That's what you are saying, fair hits don't hit the head right? Really mate, contact was made with the head, and given he was also wearing a helmet, and still suffered as bad as he did, it must have hit the mark. You don't suffer concussion and convulse by getting a hit on the shoulder. It was head trauma. I'll stand corrected if the video shows otherwise. No ongoing malice for the player that did it, just don't saw it didn't hit the head and in today's footy a hit to the head is not within the rules, no matter how you spin it or what circumstance it occurred.

He made a choice to hit while he had his head over the ball he didn't wanna go lower and harder? When you make that choice then come consequences see what the video shows

I tend to agree. That part will be conveniently edited out. It's a really bad look and EDFL as are the AFL trying to protect the brand of footy, of course it makes sense not to show it, will only create further negative discussion and more problems which they all don't want. Let's see...
The least the EDFL can do is to publicly acknowledge that the incident happened and that it is concerned.
They won't even do that

I wasn't at the game and obviously didn't see the incident. But in the AFL, if you elect to bump and make contact with the head you are gone. Does the EDFL run by the same rules.
I cant see how u can say it was a "fair hit" nothing was fair about it. It wasnt a thug act but young bloke picking up the ball just lifted his head and gets it straight to the head i was standing on that side of the ground was 30m in front of me(there was only about 4 people on that side so majority of you didnt get the right angle). The jacana bloke knew he did wrong because he was scared to go anywhere near it after it until the last quater. However northern were out coached in my opinon jacana had more numbers at the ball and just kicked it over the northern players who wouldnt pick anyone up which left jacana players free everywhere if coburg can even up the numbers jacanas run will be stopped making it harded to get into there foward line. The score line did flatter jacana however will ns giving away free kicks and 50m penalty in the last 5 mins to blow it out.

Agree with your summary. NS players didn't pick up their men at all, and were out coached. Giving 50's away constantly is not a good reflection on the coaching staff.
Guys the kid that got concussed apparently has a plate in his head this is why he wears a helmet and his parents don't want him playing football because any knock to the head can cause serious damage and for the guy that bumped him he wouldn't know this and you would think he would have been worried for the safety of him when he seen some having convulsions and played on his mind for the whole game .
I dont understand your argument the guy choose to bump when he could of tackled he hit him in the head. So because he has a plate in his head he shouldnt be playing? Or its his fault someone hip an shoulder him in the head?

It does not matter what he wears a helmet for he has a the ok to play football. The convulsions where caused from the concussion and the high hit to the head. The sooner people see that the fact is a fact he made a choice to bump. Not tackle and not go lower and harder for the footy. The sooner people see that the better.
So the bump should be taken out of football all together ? its a split second decision to bump or tackle sometimes .

No you can bump as much as you want but if you make contact to the head you will be missing matches.
NS wouldn't want to whinge after all the Dog Acts they've served up over the years

One of the few clubs that hardly ever whinge. In fact, I have said it before, the club has undergone a massive change over the last two years. Best behaved juniors and club as a whole in 2016, and apart from one silly incident from a player the club has suspended idenfinitely this year, are probably again in the top Hald dozen best behaved clubs in the competition. But of course this falls on deaf ears with those who seem to harbour grudges by previous players and generations. Time to move on champ, the club have and are trying. You can't pot them for that! Anyway, nothing wrong with protecting your club, and if that is what the people at Northern are doing including myself then so be it., Gulty as charged. By the way, if you do something wrong on the field, you should face the full letter of the law, the club have never shyed away from that but fully expect it to be reciprocated.
