MRO said there was high contact (i.e. to the head) so I can only imagine there is another angle as you couldn’t possibly make that determination off that footage.
Don’t believe Day was concussed. Nothing in the injuries from the match report. But they are punishing the act irrespective of the outcome now so it won’t matter that Day wasn’t concussed.

Sounds like someone is being a sook because we made the tribunal look like donuts in the jvr appeal.
I like giving full seniors games to guys pushing for a spot but would prefer sparrow in against port

I don’t think that matters as much with dangerous tackles. Pretty ludicrous call from the MRO if that is the only footage of the incident.

Logically, the AFL should release the footage then. But, there’s a chance there is footage and they don’t release it because they don’t want the scrutiny/transparency. Additionally there’s an equal chance there is no footage because they are incompetent/corrupt.

Umpires didn’t deem it worthy of a free , commentary didn’t seem to think it worthy of comment. ****ing joke .

I'd enjoy it if we challenged it all the way up to the appeals board again, even if just to piss the MRO off

We take it to the tribunal and Jeff Gleeson states: “although Day had his arms free and there is no footage of the severity of the impact on the ground and no rules have ostensibly been broken; that lack of evidence also means that a rule could have been broken and we also accept the AFL advocate’s case that Sparrow yelled out ‘purple monkey dishwasher’ and that wasn’t very nice so one week it is.”
It gets taken to the Appeals Board where 5 minutes of evidence is heard and a 2 hour 55 minutes deliberation determines that the AFL made up the rules to suit themselves again.
Goodwin then sensationally drops Sparrow for Melksham for Friday’s game.

Oh yeah, Day’s head slams on the ground pretty hard.
Take the 1 week and move on.

Based on the new video, don’t bother appealing, just accept one week .

There's no way to get him off that under this year's adjudications, but if you look at the way Sparrow chases and then is falling to the ground when he tackles there was literally no other way to make that tackle. He dives to make the tackle and pulls him down, his only alternative is to just let him go, which judging by the AFLs comments during tribunal hearings is basically what they'd be happy to see.
I really don't think it's reasonable to treat tackles when you're chasing and diving with full momentum the same as tackles when you're standing and have the player wrapped up.

Maybe he would've been likely to pickup Butters.?
So Jordan in to run with... and Sparrow out for a rest.
Someone else as Sub:?

I agree with this on principle that a relatively stationary tackler has a lot more control over how they bring an opponent to ground compared to Sparrow who was falling to ground himself, but we know that argument won’t hold up.
Actually impressed Sparrow could get that much force through the tackle given his position. He must be very strong in the upper body.

With the rate he’s losing his hair, hopefully he’s not bald by the time we see him on the field again.

Wow. I am really surprised on this one, after seeing him discussing injury during the game at the bench, and on his mobility after game and at medical scanners.

It kinda seems like Day let's the spin happen to get the handball out the back, like he's starting to turn and let's the tackle push him round? Or maybe that's me trying to find excuses for Sparrow.
