Pickett bump on Cripps

[Woody15]

So yeh I'd like to get this one started..

Thoughts on Pickett's bump? 2 weeks? Ran past the ball, chose to bump, and wasn't attempting a smother so yeh I think he's in big trouble. Cripps off with the blood rule.

Second time this year as well. Thug perhaps? Fake tough guy?

Thoughts Dees fans? Shaun Smith?

 

[Beauski]

Looks like he was performing a football act, so if Maynard got off free Pickett probably should.

2 weeks

 

[eddiesmith]

2 weeks down to 1 for the playing Collingwood discount.

 

[Hawks_4478]

Careless, medium impact, high contact 1 week

 

[Orange Agent]

Grading will be interesting. The hit to the body is clearly intentional but the head knock which has drawn blood has to be careless. Its a week at most.

 

[Chaisa]

Depends on how Cripps gets up. Probably 1 week but could he get an "upgrade" in the weighting because of how it looked?

 

[revo333]

A football act, Cripps caused the contact by deviating into Pickets path.

Zero weeks.

 

[Theo X]

Cripps came straight back on. 1 at worst, hopefully just a fine.

 

[yeahmate]

I'll reserve judgement until we hear what Brayshaws mum thinks of it

 

[Bald]

Will be careless, high and medium impact under this rule:

Any high bump which constitutes Rough Conduct that has the potential to cause injury will usually be graded at a minimum as Medium impact, even though the extent of the actual physical impact may be low.

It goes hand in hand doesn't it? If his hit is intentional then any contact as a result is intentional? I'm not exactly sure how this works though.

Thug act, Dees fans?

 

[eddiesmith]

Grading will be interesting. The hit to the body is clearly intentional but the head knock which has drawn blood has to be careless. It’s a week at most.

Doesn’t matter whether he intended to hit him high, if he elects to bump then that’s the intent. But, as shown last week it’s very difficult to get any hit graded intentional.

Same as Maynard. He'll be sent to the tribunal where he'll get off.

Bumping a player doesn't make you a thug either. It was a good bump actually. But Pickett will need to adjust his game with the direction it is headed.

A good bump in todays game doesnt result in head high contact and a blood rule.

Unless you are trying to smother a kick.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Laid an identical bump on Smith earlier in the year. Still hasn't learnt his lesson. Give him three this time around.

 

[Fitzey]

If the thug Maynard gets nothing, this football act is worth nothing aswell.

 

[beerbandit]

I hope Cripps mum won’t answer the phone and that the flowers don’t make it to the vase!

Absolute thug, I’m sure Goodwin will be scathing of that act in his press conference.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

1 and a half for the bump on Cripps and half for the jumper punch on Gov. 2 weeks.

It wasn't a good bump. It went high and broke Cripps' nose with potential to cause much more damage.

Unless you've been living under a rock, that's not on in today's game and rightly so.

Completely different to the Maynard incident.

Fair. But Pickett's bump on Cripps was much better than his bump on Smith. It was also more of a "football action" than Maynard's attempted smother/brace/bump.

I think the AFL adjusts the rules in the offseason to make it harder for the tribunal to let off both Pickett and Maynard but based on Maynard this week, Pickett must get off. There is no alternative.

This was not a bad as the one on Smith.

Still dumb though
