MRP / Trib. Mansell Suspended 3 Weeks - Suspension Upheld

Remove this Banner Ad

What would happen if there is a collision between team mates and one is concussed, would the other get 3 weeks? As the rules are being intrepreted now they should.
Let’s say the team mates were scats players , then the Richmond player would get suspended

Here's why I think Mansell should never have been suspended:

  • He and Aish are running at high speed to the same ball.
  • At the point of no return, the ball has just propped and bounced up/back toward Aish, putting Mansell at a sudden disadvantage
  • He then looks at Aish, which anyone would do, and braces for contact, he does NOT intend nor shape to bump, it was pure accident
  • Here is the picture that proves he was contending the ball:

You can see he is looking at the ball, this is just after is had bounced the last time I believe, the moment it bounces back a bit toward Aish, making Aish first to the ball. Mansell clearly looking at the footy, but then his attention is unavoidably drawn to Aish as he has instinctively realised he is now second to the ball, and he braces for impact, also instinctive.
