MRP / Trib. Isaac Heeney - High contact on Jimmy Webster

[LordLucifer]

I've watched the vision 3-4 times and don't think he has a case to answer for.

Rankine on the other hand .......... 2-weeks.

 

[The Mares Leg]

I would say this -

You can hospitalise a guy with a pretend effort to gain a ‘lift’ with your knee - accident - no case to answer.

You can cause a blood nose trying to break an illegal tackle, without looking at the player, and at waist height - accident but called intentional - and get a week.

 

[Xtreme]

Deserves 3

Take the week and reflect on the unsportsmanlike conduct.

Intentional or Careless has to do with the intention of the action at the time the Culprit chooses to do it. What happens after that will determine the Impact and location of the offence.

- The tackling player slipped and this brought his head down to waist height

Irrelevant to the Intentional ruling.

- the tackling player was actually ‘hanging on’ and Heeney’s clear intent was to clear the tackle, not strike the player

How did Heeney plan on 'clearing the tackle'? By Striking Webster.

-Heeney was not watching the tackling player at poc.

Irrelevant. If you're going to swing your fist make sure you don't clobber them in the head.

If you think Heeney hit the tackler in the face deliberately, to clear a waist high grapple, - your deluded.

And the vision reveals it as an open hand - spec savers is open tomorrow.

Let me break it down slower:

Do you think Heeney hit Webster deliberately?

 

[spudmaster]

Low impact?

Fu** me. I'd hate see what High impact looks like? Dude would have to be dead.

Same action but in a Vic-team's guernsey.

Doesn't matter. He hit him deliberately. The fact it got him in the head is on Heeney

You really have just started watching AFL haven't you?

 

[The Mares Leg]

Let me break it down slower:

Do you think Heeney hit Webster deliberately?

Let me break it down for you - he threw his arm back to effect release of the tackle.

He contacted the chest first with the back of his hand, and the motion travelled up and clipped his nose.

It was a CARELESS action - upgraded by the AFL directive.

The directive is ridiculous - it has created this problem.

YOU want to make it something more - which renders your patently silly attempts to justify this irrelevant.

Now you have a choice - you can confirm yourself as a useless troll - or agree the directive is ridiculous.

 

[The Mares Leg]

Troll

Yes - its called an accident.

Or is every hit in the head in a marking contest ‘deliberate’ too?

Probably sounded like a zinger in your head.

 

[Bones7677]

Tribunal will clear him and award Sydney access to another two elite kids

 

[Jugada]

He accidentally got him in the head but he didnt accidentally hit him. Take a spell if you want to compare it to a marking contest

Very perceptive

So yes? He intentionally threw his arm back to hit Webster.

He contacted the chest first with the back of his hand, and the motion travelled up and clipped his nose.

And he got him high?

And surely we can agree that since it drew blood that its enough to be 'low impact'.

Sounds like we are in agreeance on it being a 1 week suspension.

 

[Tbonefreo]

So what was the ruling? A fair bit of dribble going on in here

 

[The Mares Leg]

Sorry…clearly it went miles over your head.

 

[Cleavy]

Low impact?

Fu** me. I'd hate see what High impact looks like? Dude would have to be dead.

 

[The Mares Leg]

I learned a long time ago, there comes a point where a thirst for blood means more than a fair crack. Enjoy your supper.

You seem to be taking this hard, I suggest going back to the Swans board to cope better

 

[Hoops]

No-one can look at that and think it deserves a week
