I did.. watching it in real time makes no difference.
McCartin goes the bump in a clumbsy attempt to shepard for a team mate.. contacted with mcadams face.. and breaks his cheekbone..
that happens no matter what speed you replay it at.
Now, I’m almost certain McCartin had no malice intended.. he was just going the bump to shepard for a team mate.. but he completely ballsed it up and hip and shouldered mcadam in the face.
you go the bump and that happens.. then you have to face the consequences.
he’s lucky he‘s only got two games..

MCCartin went the bump in what looks like a shepharding attempt. Contacted with the head. Broke mcadams cheekbone.
it was clumbsy. And its what the footage shows no matter what garbage spin you desperately try and layer on it.
I disagree McCartin went for a bump.

Both players watching the ball
McAdams leaning forward in an attempt to knock the ball to his advantage
McCartin still watching the ball but bracing himself for contact
McAdams over committed to knocking the ball to advantage and when it took a bad bounce he couldn't protect himself. Not McCartins fault. Same as Duncan V Fox.
Throw it out
Looks like a loose ball that both players are going for. Collision between the two is inevitable from the outset. Ball squirts out to the left. McAdam stretches for it, which opens himself up and also lowers him. Players collide.
Stop sooking.

So why did you stop putting them up?..
was it all too hard for you to use the complete set?
or does the complete set not suit your arguement..
he went the bump. Got him high, broke his cheekbone.
its pretty simple to see if you just watch the replay.. even in normal speed.
anyone arguing otherwise can continue to do so for all I care.. I have no intention to argue against their nonsense any further.
no, he didn’t

I can't see how this gets overturned, looks a cut and dried suspension unless the tribunal apply the old Sydney finals discount.
Barry Hall approves
Which bit of bump, high contact, broken cheekbone are you disputing? Cos they all seem pretty obvious.
It was probably an accident but the fact remains he broke McAdams cheekbone with his shoulder. No way he gets off.
I mean seriously .. you couldn't make this sh*t up ..
AFL .. at the beginning of season .. "the head sacrosanct" .. we will come down hard with banz hammer
Shane McAdam gets rubbed out for 3 weeks in round 1 for a front on bump .. no injury .. oooh, looked bad .. sent straight to the tribunal and upheld
Paddy McCartin is forced into retirement due to repeated concussion injuries a few weeks ago
Tom McCartin front on bump to Shane McAdam .. depressed fracture of cheek bone (out for the season) .. 2 weeks from the MRO
Sydney fans .. he'll get off .. because .. reasons
And he probably will because the MRO is chook lotto

Just becuase McAdam chose to McHeadbutt McCartin’s shoulder shouldn’t mean McCartin gets McPunished.
If the cheekbone fracture happened when McAdam ran into McCartin, why wasn't a head injury assessment done?
Facts are this:
Two players approaching the ball orthogonally. McAdam (below) either approaches low, or slips, and runs into McCartin's shoulder. Below is McCartin attempting to remain balanced.
Will get thrown out. Open and shut case of hysterical South Australian victim mentality.

Left out overnight
Would you have the same opinion if it was a Sydney player who ended up with the broken cheekbone?

Do you think Duncan v Fox should have resulted in a suspension?
To me they're the same ; fox over committed, the ball bounced out of his reach and duncan kept going towards the ball only bracing himself on the way through.
Duncan wasn't cited as he was deemed to be bracing for contact and realistically couldn't contest in an alternate way

They’ve got the goal umpire to have a quick squizz of this one too and he’s given it the all clear, no contact.
McCartin free to play.
