The Duncan case was the most relevant tonight. Football accident. Perhaps ask why if he was so badly injured he wasn’t off for a HIA…

Mate I’m happy for you that McCartin got off. I quite like the Swans. Doesn’t change the fact that the tribunal and the AFL in general is a complete and utter laughing stock.
They’re all football incidents, because (barring a Barry Hall type punch to the head) they’re footballing actions resulting in contact to the head. The AFL has been very very clear where they stand on this. Until Duncan and McCartin.
So McAdam bumps a player in the chest, no injury, but gets 3 weeks because of the 'potential' to cause injury.
McCartin bumps McAdam, hits his head, fractures his cheek bone (an ACTUAL injury) and gets....nothing?
Is this a joke?
What has McAdam done to these clowns?

Crows fans have absolutely every right to be fuming .
I don’t think it should have been a suspension either, but there has been a precedent set for most of this year by the AFL and this probably should of been a week or 2 going on other suspensions this year.

Every tribunal is it’s the reason they are tribunals not courts. If he got hit in the head and I’m far from convinced why wasn’t there a HIA, that should be a huge question. Had no issue with the Duncan one and they applied consistency here.

Mitch Duncan case (or not being even charged) said otherwise. Basically the same circumstances

Horrible outcome. Bumps a player and breaks his jaw but then is free to play

McAdam's 2 incidents this year confirms how corrupt the tribunal system is.
The AFL this week are just completely taking the piss out of AFC.
Will cost them more members as more supporters walk away from this bunch of amateurs...

You can read the decision.
You can then disagree with the decision.
Editing the post. Horrible outcome. Player did not bump, nor did player make forceful contact. Player rode the inevitable impact and there was little else he could reasonably do.
Accidents happen

you're kidding yourself if you're comparing that previous McAdam 'bump' to this.
That previous citing, it was evident to all McAdam leapt with every sinew of his being into his opponent. Quit it with the SA Victim mentality. It's tedious.

enjoy your cheated for club til it becomes the bloods in a couple weeks, btw wtf is bloods culture being a club that just about wins nothing and is forced to move and then given more money than the rest for their players, joke of a side joke of a decision just like how your champs drop the ball soon as get touched and get holding the man. Nevermind clearly blind umpires you are just as blind.
please let me run your head into my foot moron

Afl may as well just get the script writers from the WWE over now.
The competition is scripted, total piss take.

I am frustrated that he was even allowed to take his kick. We have to be cautious.
But I'm not sure how those two issues are linked.
It's this weird thing on forums where if your club does something wrong then it absolves every other unrelated thing.
It's like bringing up the Jenkins controversy from years ago and saying 'oh but look at this' as if it evens things out instead of everyone thinking 'gee the system really needs fixing'.
I think you can both be happy your player got off AND refrain from calling a player who sustained an injury an idiot. Get defensive if you like.
AFL just blatant now. The AFL team has a player suspension overturned with finals coming up.
Not surprising though, the legups just continue.

Rhyan Mansell sitting at home baffled...
Onus is on the player to protect the head McCartin didn't. Players have gotten suspended for less than that (accidental head clashes in tackles etc).
AFL darlings get looked after at the Tribunal again.
