Player Watch Isaac Quaynor

[TradeDraft]

What an absolute shock that there will be no sanction on Sydney’s Sam Wicks for wearing metal-studded boots and seriously injuring Collingwood young gun Isaac Quaynor.

I just wonder what the penalty would’ve been had it been Quaynor in the metal boots and Wicks who was injured.

Collingwood again on the wrong side of the AFL and its minions

Done for the Season

Sorry to intrude, but I know for a fact that the Collingwood guys did not question wicks before the game. The teams are kept completely seperate. I also know that three Collingwood players, including Grundy, wore the same boots with metal studs on. That is why the issue has died quickly. The use of metal studs from Nike and adidas is very common across all the teams and are illegal. On that basis the AFL has treated it as a failure of the AFL and all clubs.

So how do you know this?

You work for the AFL?

Assumption most likely off the back some amateur sleuthing - Grundy is wearing a Nike boot model that is supplied with metal stops. Was it even considered that the metal stops have been swapped out for moulded ones? Probably not. Going by the photo below, can’t see the glint of metal stops like Wicks so obviously had.

Like how he says 3 Collingwood players also wore the boots. Trying to deflect from the fact that one of his players has injured our player and he is out for a significant time.

Devastated for the young man, his career was on its way and he was showing what a fine player he is going to grow into. The whole metal studs thing is just a bloody shambles and examples need to be made here. I am still astonished a player or multiple players have been playing with metal studs in, a farce!

? He’ll be out for maybe a month at most. Jack Stevens got stabbed in the chest and was out for less than a month.

It was reported that he was questioned on his metal studs during the game, not before. Any player can wear these boots as the screw-ins are interchangeable and be swapped out for plastic screw-ins.

You seem to know a lot and I’m sorry you intruded too. Regardless of who else was wearing them, the issue was not properly dealt with, there should be some consequence as it was a breach of the rules causing serious harm to Quaynor. Sorry isn’t good enough and if the roles were reversed there would be.

IQ will be out for the season no doubt.
Not a fair comparison as Jack Stevens doesn't play for Collingwood and not effected by the juju curse

I totally believe that Collingwood didnt question Wicks before the game. If they truly had a genuine issue they should have gone straight to the umpire for a ruling.

I also tend to believe that the AFL has quashed this quickly because the use of these studs is more wiidespread than they'd like to admit. And with a lot on their plate at the moment, the last thing they would be considering managing the game is whether players are wearing legal boots.

D. Thomas said he was cut with metal stops he thinks, when he played us last year. And MMM also said the umpire told DeGoey he couldnt wear the boots he wanted to last year.

They must really rate him with him coming Straight Back In

Do you Dave? His form before his injury warrants an automatic selection imo.

Thought he been Good but would like him to get more Touches

With Crispy running off the half back line that takes at least half the run and gun opportunities away- probably more as Crispy is a known quantity to the other players who know where he will run to. As IQ gets more game time the other players will get used to him and the possessions will start to come up.

That will come. He’s playing his role well.

Yeah, he balances being attacking by run and by foot with actually being able to defend forwards. It's where Noble struggles

Once he puts his body on the line and holds some high marks, he’ll become a jet

If he can can quickly hit form in his return, think it will show that he’s quite mentally strong as well. An unfortunate and gruesome injury for any young man but if we see the same dare and form in him immediately upon return then we’ll know he’s got quite a bit of character.

With the likes of IQ, Noble, Crisp and Maynard off half back we could potentially attack with the ball rather than going backwards. Revolutionary!

That is Totally against Bucks Gameplan

Thinking IQ would be a great wingman.

I love the way he runs and carries, would love seeing him take that a little further and knock a few through from 50.

Definitely have a good one here.

Huge second half yesterday, steam rolled an aging Eddie Betts.
Talent to burn, marvellous!
