The question needs to be asked...was the report referred straight to the tribunal or could the player have taken the prescribed?

Couple of questions - any reasons why the tribunal/VAFA wouldn't let a player take a prescribed penalty? Had a look at the vision, not a great action and right to stamp it out, but the player on the receiving end got up and kicked a goal from 45m out, so obviously impact was low. If he knocked him out or player was hurt enough to at least leave the field for a bit I would understand, but he got up fairly quickly.
Also I see J.Bull from Scotch received 2 weeks for same report (forceful front on contact) and was able to take the prescribed which was 2 weeks. Does anyone know what qtr and minute that incident occured? Would be interested in comparing the actions but don't want to watch the whole Scotch game!

Pazza, it was upgraded by the umpire on match day from 2 games to 4 games. Michael Christian, who sits on the AFL tribunal, studied the vision and graded it as a one match suspension at the most at AFL level. The OX player kindly wrote a letter saying it was low impact and he made contact with his deltoid.The question needs to be asked...was the report referred straight to the tribunal or could the player have taken the prescribed?
Last Qtr. 16min - 19min mark. 10 years ago a good hip and shoulder. The AFL have stuffed the game...
Putting your head over the pill is toughness. Lining up a player with no intention of getting the pill is the opposite.Last Qtr. 16min - 19min mark. 10 years ago a good hip and shoulder. The AFL have stuffed the game...

About as tough as you potting people behind your username? I bet you have never played in the manic pressure of an A grade game, where you make split second decisions, just like your D grade mate Hedge Fund.Putting your head over the pill is toughness.

that is an absolute disgrace. a lot worse goes unpunished.

One of the more remarkable reports I've seen at any level, that umpire had a howler last week. Paid free kicks all day to one team but ignored the same free kicks to the other. I also note that the OX time keeper insisted Gilham must stay off for 18 minutes of play, not the required 12.Was that the same umpire who red-carded Gilham for a marking contest a few minutes later in Q3 (27min-29min mark)? I would suggest you look at the vision of that marking contest and ask yourself if the umpire was perhaps a bit card happy that day and maybe should get some more love from the umpires coach at training. If he's willing to card a player for that action I have concerns over his ability to umpire football at this level.

No, it was one umpire. OX should have iced the game by QT.You'd have to think that if the umpires had been fair that the result would have gone the other way...

No wonder the OX time keep had this wrong, have you seen Xavier's VCE results lately???

Bloke deserves 5 in comparison to some of the weak as piss 2 week suspensions.
You have no credibility here. Even before your alleged involvement in the great Scribe cancelling his account.About as tough as you potting people behind your username?

I was speaking more generically as "flat footy" was talking of tough times and players of the past and how football is soft nowadays. Bull is predominately a ball player whose toughness is not in question.I viewed the Scotch footage, agree with flat footy. Outrageous that Bull was reported & suspended, it was a bump to the shoulder of the Parkdale player, even with the Parkdale player going low at the very last moment. Bull incredibly stiff.
