Jason Roe's bump on Luke Brennan...not good

[Bollox]

I'm going to stop short of saying what i truly want to about this hit coz i really like the way Roe plays his footy and looks a great prospect.

Thoughts on the hit ?

 

[Hawkers]

Didn't think it was too bad. Had his head down going for the ball, only problem was that Brennan got there a split second before him and he turned his body to protect his head

Brennan is ok as well

Commonsense would dictact a free kick and no more

Knowing the tribunal/MRP it could be anything from 4 weeks for Brennan to 4 weeks for Roe or anything in between

reckless, high, high

interpret from that.

might argue for accidental, but most likely reckless.

2 weeks.

 

[Cousin Jed]

2 guys head down going for the ball.

In other words - 3 weeks.

 

[Father Jack]

Eyes on the ball, but realised the situation before Brennan did. Would be harsh to take action imo.

 

[Warwick]

I think he may get 1 or 2 for it.

He caught him high, but both were going for the footy, and he turned his shoulder, rather than cannon into him.

 

[weagles_fan]

4 weeks

 

[Warwick]

4 weeks

If that was 4 weeks, Waters was lucky not to get banned for life for his gutless hit on Copeland.

 

[mr_cellotape]

Hopefully he only gets a week at the most. Eyes on the ball, unlike Johnson's last night.

 

[Thommo 42]

1 week

 

[seanoff]

Nothing like Johnson last night. both had their head down, i think it was just the angle. With any luck for him, he'll get off

 

[Frederlick]

Like Notting, nothing.

I started a thread on this just after it happened and it was moved to the gameday thread and I got a PM saying that it belonged on there. Strange.

It's a difficult one to judge as they were both going for the ball, but Roe braced himself. Would be unlucky to get weeks.

If Waters did it this year he'd be gone for atleast 6 weeks

 

[Bollox]

Yeah its a tough one and will be closely looked at.

My first reaction seeing it on the box was HANG THE BASTARD ! but wasnt so bad on replay. Luckily for Roe, Brennan brushed up ok.

Problem is tho there were some like this suspended earlier this yr...they might go him over consistency.

Yeah, he was at least attempting to go for the ball. Honestly, I think it was just one of those things that happens in footy - 2 blokes, going for the ball, he turned at the last second to avoid a worse clash.

 

[Albo's opinion]

havent seen the incident but going off the precedent set by the tribunal in recent times it could be anything from 0-15 weeks

 

[worthy]

Unfortunate accident, but Roe should be commended for having the awareness to avoid a nasty head clash.

 

[acuguy]

SHould be applauded for turning his body, a clash of heads would of probably resulted in a worse result for both parties

 

[arakaan]

0 weeks.

 

[krustyman]

they were both going low for the ball and the contact was unavoidable.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Knowing our luck he will get done

Both were going for the ball - Roey acutually tried to make contact less servere than what it could of been

True, think he will be ok and should play next week.

 

[Footylover1]

I don't think he'll get 4 weeks like one poster said. More like 2 would be my guess. Both were going for the ball down low and that has to be taken into consideration.

 

[rooboy_90]

Difficult one. He had his head over the football and realised he was going to bang heads so he turned his body quickly. I hope he doesn't get punished for it. Nothing milacious.
