which caused a concussion.

 

[Danw0w]

I dont know how else he could have tackled him there.

 

[Warhorse]

Should be nothing but will get a week like Butler and Close

 

[citizen-erased]

Arm pinned and uses his weight to bring him down
Not too dissimilar to merrett on sparrow.

Week is likely. That action where he spins/rolls him won't help his case..
Esp since they watch it slow motion

 

[Bald]

Thought he was a bit of a victim of circumstance here with how they were positioned when the tackle was made but intent isn't considered so he'll get a week.

 

[boncer34]

Careless High high = 2

 

[DEECEE]

Burn him at the stake

[Mitchell Madness]

Hawks will argue that brockman coming over the top impacted the fall. Sicily bot responsible, and brockman cannot be charged after the mro

 

[Young Gun #6]

1 week I think.

3rd angle looked like an extended swing think that’ll be the deciding bit.

 

[naysayer]

Should be nothing but seeing as Butler got a week for daring to tackle an opponent without verbal consent, Sicily is looking at about 7-8 weeks.

Difference is butler semi drove his opponent into the ground, mcluggage fell backwards (and may have even been knocked out from the brockman contact)

 

[SSSSSS]

Should be zero but wouldn't surprise me if he gets a week.

 

[MisterMarcus]

 

[Blackhawk42]

Expecting a week minimum due to the outcome, however the Brockman argument may play a part if he gets off.

 

[Vindicater]

For the tackle. Nothing.

For the dog act of pushing a clearly limp body into the ground. Boos.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Should not even get cited. No case to answer. Terrific, desperate tackle, it's still a contact sport where sometimes stuff just happens. This is one of those.

 

[naysayer]

For the tackle. Nothing.

For the dog act of pushing a clearly limp body into the ground. Boos.

Give me a break. Why would he push him if he knew he was unconscious? He just laid a fantastic tackle that was adjudged as holding the ball.

This angle shows Brockman basically missed McLuggage (the lower tweet)



And the slow mo shows heavy contact head on turf

 

[Elixuh]

Sicily didn't mean to, but he used his weight to sling Hugh across his body and slam him head first into the ground.

Anywhere from 1-3.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Desperate lunge, Mcluggage off balance and around he goes due to momentum. Sicily didn’t have enough power from his position to swing Mcluggage around by force or malice.

Unlucky outcome once again but will likely be weeks unfortunately due to the AFL having absolutely no idea how to assess tackles.

Sicily could have really driven him hard into the ground but you can see at the end he’s basically holding him in place and just an unfortunate incident.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It was a great tackle.

But we punish them now.

Should be an instant reversal pushing someone into the ground like that. Shit act and not needed.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Coleman pushes him, Sicily loses his feet completely and tackles him lower than he was aiming for, brockman gets in the way putting mccluggage more forward, Sicily is underneath and cant see a thing. Cite the Cerra case. Will play next game.

Yeah, but what size ship is McCluggage compared to Sicily? Might be an issue there.

 

[The hands of stone]

Should be an instant reversal pushing someone into the ground like that. s**t act and not needed.

I was right near it at the game. Was a nudge not pushing him into the ground.
You see this 20-30 times every game.

Also when he noticed Mccluggage was in trouble he stayed with him and called the trainers over ........but you wouldnt have seen that on the TV .

He will get a week 1-2 weeks , really not sure what else he could do except not tackle him at all .
Glad Mccluggage is ok , was a very awkward landing.
