MRP / Trib. Sam Powell-Pepper bump on Mark Keane

[Bald]

In a Match Sim no less.



Edit: Suspended for four weeks

 

[Mitchell Madness]

That is an absolute dog shot. Ran straight through him whilst he was being tackled. I honestly don't see any way that's less than the maximum within the guidelines (3 for "football acts"?)

It should be 3, but I'd give him an extra 1 or 2 given the events of the week and the fact that it's in a match simulation.

The afl love trotting out the "guidelines" so it will be 3

 

[Elixuh]

Dogshot, 3-4 weeks

is it possible to be suspended by the AFL in these unofficial practice matches?

Yes

 

[beema limapep]

That's ridiculous and in a scratch match, a disgrace.

Has there been a worse hit in any pre season game in memory?

Looked like he slightly changed direction last second for plum alignment to the head.

Gotta be 4 to 6 in this day and age.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Absolute idiot, especially in a praccy match.

Looks to have turned his shoulder into him and therefor any defence on the Rioli tackle is negligible.

2-3 weeks. What a nob.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Incidents like these annoy me because he literally didn't even need to do that...like it wasn't even necessary

You can get suspended by the AFL in unofficial intraclub trials.

 

[Wosh]

Un******believable of all weeks to do this
4 weeks for the hit and 4 weeks for the stupidity

Will be 4 minimum. AFL will make early example of him.

 

[hawkman]

3 weeks but probably a little unlucky he got spun into him. When you attack at pace and turn your body like that you are always going to be in trouble

 

[demondavey]

6 weeks if they are serious. Anything less is a joke.

[Testekill]

What a tough guy, cleaning someone up in a practice game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Really can't help stupid... stupid act in a practice game... in the same week Brayshaw has retired due to repeated concussions & AFL may go harder.

Feel for Keane as started well on Dixon & with Murray & Butts out, we need to get time into him for taking on King in round 1. Left our defence very light on... & Dixon kicked his only goal from a mark he took as Keane was being helped off the ground.

Hits his head very hard on the ground, definitely contributes to the hit.
Slung around.
2 weeks....

But being a interstate team and what's happ bed this week. 3 to 4

The hit came before the head hitting the ground so I'm really unsure how you've come to the conclusion.

It's intentional (though I suspect they will grade it careless), severe (as the bloke was concussed) and high, which means it's off to the tribunal and at least 3 weeks.

Oh, and look, it took 17 replies before somebody went with the interstate rubbish.

He'll get 3-4 because it will go to the tribunal AND because it was beyond knuckle dragging moronic to elect to bump this week of all weeks in a bloody nothing match sim.

Spun into him? He ran straight through him, at pace. The intent was clearly there

 

[Captivating]

2 weeks

Plus

1 week for the first suspension if the year

Plus

2 weeks Gus loading

 

[El Doederino]

IIRC, the umps didn’t even give a free kick for it? And Port scored while Keane was lying on the ground concussed.

Suspend the umps as well.

 

[demondavey]

Like I said, 6 weeks minimum. If the AFL is serious they’ll just make a stand.
