Autopsy Port v Crows - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Sat August 17th 7:00pm (7:30 E) - (Adelaide Oval)

[eaglespremiers]

There was no free kick given. Port had possession when they stopped the game due to Rankine being out

Ah, poor umpiring.

 

[HTPunter]

Actually wasn't high at all, was a massive shirt front while he was in mid-air and smashed his head on the ground.

Still deserves a holiday for it. You can't channel Byron Pickett anymore.

I’d say he looked out of it before he hit the ground

 

[Coops93]

It's his head smashing the ground that caused the damage. He had not way to control his fall due to being in mid-air. Houston needed to go for his midriff, like Ryan did to Maynard in the '18 GF, if he wanted to hurt him without the possibility of head trauma.

Hitting him high in the chest caused his body to rotate.

It's really irrelevant. Either way the bumper is responsible for the outcome.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He was out before he hit the ground, poor bloke

That’s the one the AFL don’t want plenty of time to pull out.

 

[Elixuh]

Could port argue its showdown 56 as a mitigating factor

The initial contact might not have been high but his head definitely whips forward into the shoulder.

There is 100% high contact.

 

[HTPunter]

lol Houston flopping there with the Berry bump - why? You don’t get a free at 3/4 time

 

[Coops93]

Now Houston trying to milk a free after the siren, what a coward.

None of this matters nowadays. You go the bump and it’s the outcome of the bump that determines the punishment.

You bump? Other player concussed? See ya later.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Can boak **** off

Seems surprised people want to give it to Houston

[Bearded Clam]

It's only nuffies arguing otherwise

 

[wirra44]

Houston don’t know you can’t get a free kick after the siren

Port are a bunch of floppers period.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

That’s pretty spot on.

Gross

 

[Elixuh]

Oof and Houston flopping after the siren. Embarrassing night for old mate. First performing a tackle from 1982 and now flopping.

 

[hawkman]

I'm not so sure that it wasn't high.

He is out before he hits the ground. He got him high

Should probably note that Dan Houston has copped illegal hits from Crows players in multiple Showdowns.

Charlie Cameron was a past multiple offender.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

What happened, commentators making it sound like there has been an assassination attempt?
Not even a free kick just 4 years ago and now listen to the carry on about it.

 

[black is White]

How many weeks does everyone think that is??? I'd go with 6

If the AFL go soft on this they're a ****ing joke.

 

[kriles76]

Better get Fogarty off. He’s lost the plot.

Channelling Slug Jordan.

Better get the boy off.

Ooo! He give ‘im one too.

 

[ibd77]

Adelaide have lost their way a bit understandably. Need the 3QT siren so they can get the fighting out of their system

Port haven't capitalised, game very much on. Houston's season is done.

Honest question: I wonder why the head doesn’t then “snap back” like other head high contacts we see?
