Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[SugarShane]

It’s not like it’s a player from Collingwood (or Carlton with a brownlow on the line).

Strange. Looked like Collingwood to me

Port havent made the GF yet

The only ones were Cotchin and Dunkley that spring to mind - possibly 1 more

You talking only about players who got off?

There’s a few who’ve missed.

 

[ABAB]

In other words... high contact was made. It's irrelevant that it was a head clash - he chose to bump, and a head clash is a foreseeable outcome of the bump. Rankine was not hard done-by, he was dealt with correctly, as per the tribunal guidelines.

Agree 100%

At least he sent it directly to the tribunal, so there is still scope for a larger penalty to be applied.

Houston end up hitting Rankine's head with his shoulder so only Rankine was in a vulnerable position were only he could get serious hurt as appose to a head clash so technically Houston's action was worst as he protected himself before the action.

The AFL are scared of suspending anyone for a grand final. They don't want the legal issues.

What legal issues could possibly arise from that?

Each of those plus Barry Hall all occurred during the finals series - the Tribunal has no idea how Port will go in finals.

What legal issues could possibly arise from that?

Tend to agree. If it was from a prelim then legal action - Supreme Court injunctions from memory in Sydney’s case - may be an option for Power but not when it’s a lengthy suspension before the finals even start.

 

[119others]

Very perplexing. Clearly it’s much more vicious and “capacity to cause severe injury” relative to Rankines 4 weeks.

And what about McAdam last year?? Got 3 weeks for the “potential to cause injury” in a near perfect bump to the body that went high with the velocity in another joke - no concussion even occurred - whilst human projectile missile Pickett only got 2 for jumping off the ground and smashing someone straight in the head.

Genuinely corrupt Organisation that makes a lot of shit up as it goes.

Massive news for hawthorn with Day’s collarbone ok.

That's awesome news! Will they rest him this week + the finals bye?

[ams4crows]

If all these players want to walk out of Melbourne it's a lot easier to sack the coach and they stay than to organise trades for everyone and completely rebuild the list.

How would they do that? Get him to change SANFL clubs?

 

[WeeBlake]

His dad wrote a letter saying he’s exploring his indigenous heritage

Definitely rest him I reckon

 

[latinoheat]

Wonder if the pear supporters have got their “in Ken we trust “ tshirts out of the back cupboard yet ? That’s probably the thing I’ll enjoy the most if they Win the GF. Most of them would hate it out of spite for Ken!

Is that the one that’s touted as a potential top 10?
How’s he even in our NGA anyway?

I dunno but the port board seem to think he is

I feel like we would've heard more about it if he was.

Apparently yes, he is.

That doesn't mean he's available to us as a NGA though?

I'm assuming that's what it means, but I'm no expert. Mutineer ?

Think el doderino is correct

The man with a run up longer than Michael Holding! Good kick though
