WTF....

I know the modern game has changed, but fair dinkum....

The only difference I guess was that Mark Jamar is tough enough to keep going.

Had a chat about this at footy training last night and thought a similar thing about how the hell can Gardner only get a 2 week/1 week with an early plea who's contact was high, late, and out of the play. They obviously use how hurt the player is hit as a guide to how many weeks which is ridiculous.

Bit harsh on the north kid. I was at the North Saints game and saw it. King is a massive unit ruckman and the North player is a mid sized player who was completely unaware of the hit coming. The russian is a [censored] unit himself and the hit was nowhere near as hard.

Yeah the fact they take into account the in jury is crap a elbow is worse than a hip and shoulder even if it was 40 meters off the ball.

Virtually makes the "point" system they assign to incidents irrelevant.

I would have thought that King got a longer suspension because his was nowhere near the ball. Gardiner could at least have tried to say he was shepharding at the time. King's could be classified as 'intentional', whereas Gardiner's was probably 'reckless'.

But I too dislike the way that suspensions seem to get longer if the victim sustains an injury.

Yeah... not trying to deride the North player, this aint soccer afterall, the point I was making was the same one you were. If Jamar had suffered a broken jaw the penalty would have been worse, but if anything his actions of shaking it off and following the play actually contributed to the leniency of the penalty imo. The system doesn't penalise this sort of act harshly enough. Kings action could have been construed as a shepherd as much as Gardiner's. Anyone that's played the game knows exactly what Gardiner's intention was - to attack the head of the opposition player, it was a gutless sniper act that could easily have broken Jamar's jaw and perhaps put his career in jeopardy considering he's probably still somewhat at the crossroads.

In other news: Patty Ryder cleared. They have a ruckman to take on the Dees! hooray.

just as well, imagine the club trying to explain both PJ and MJ dropped due to no match ups for them!

As much as I am disappointed for us I am happy for the game. Ryder should not have even been looked at, it was in play, not head high, not reckless. It was a fair bump that we should be promoting back into the game not out of it.

if thats the only change I would like to see LJ get a jumper. Might be a bit top heavy v bombers if martin starts back, if we are looking to add an extra forward then LJ has to be close to top of this list with miller.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
