Sylvia injury

Featured Replies

I saw some footage after the incident with Colin running away, I don't think he was flattened like some are mentioning, I think he got a hip and should that just got him in the right spot to cause a break. It happens, as for our players helping out or having a crack at Kennedy I don't even think Colin did he just ran of with a sore jaw which unfortunately turned out broken. I'm sure if the players saw this and it was something menacing many of them would of ran if to let kennedy know he did the wrong thing.

I'm of a similar opinion.

As much as I'd like it to be a vicious bump so that Kennedy gets rubbed out for 4 weeks, I think it was fairly inocuous and is an unfortunate result of a common garden variety bump.

These things happen. We'd be best to move on rather than stew about it, but I'm also glad CC has come out with the response he did.

I don't mind Kennedy and others not getting weeks for accidental contact to the head.

But all I want is some consistency.

And also, I wouldnt compare Sylvia's hit on Selwood to this. Sylvia's hit was deliberate and uncalled for, and he deserved everything he got.

This is where I stand too. I just want comparable decisions to be made for comparable offences.

you would think the AFL Match Review panel would now have access to a multitude of examples of past incidents of which to go by.

unfortunately, because of (i) rule changes and (ii) the new system involving points for intent, reckless, negligent, etc etc and different impact degrees (ie. minor, medium, severe) it's more or less still up in the air in terms of consistency.

having said that, i think everyone was of the belief the head was sacrosanct and off limits whether in play or off the ball and that the AFL wanted to protect the players head. this recent decision somewhat bucks that trend.

yes that is fair enough but when has the AFL been consistent? At least we do know that CC will not forget this has happened....stay tuned for during the season. This will happen again.

Its a crock.

Hawthorn must be mightily peeved that Buddy is out given what has taken place.

After that decision the knuckleheads stated that when a player has a choice to tackle or bump, if they choose to bump then the onus in on the bumper to ensure a players head is not hit and no damage is done. Full stop.

Whilst it doesn't assist us what happens to Kennedy it will undoubtedly be used by others during the season to get players off for illegal off the ball bumps. yet again they have re-opened their own can of worms.

I really think the club should take a stand on this and let the AFL know we aren't small fry anymore...

The main reason there was no citing was because of footage given to the media so no one really cares....

If we have footage then CC needs to speak to his good mate who runs the highest rating AFL program around Mr G.Lyon and have the footage shown and ask what everyone thinks etc etc.... This will back the AFL into a corner because the precedent is set and it trial by media (of course it won't change the decision)...

The media is what drives the AFL and The footy show was used by eddie all the time to peddle his issues, we need to use it the same way so the AFL doesn;t want to angry us just like they don't want to angry Collingwood...

 

Jake King gets three weeks with no evidence except Travis Cloke's word, How the F*#k does this work ??

Maybe Sylvia's evidence helped Kennedy, Sylvia may have honored the traditional way.

What happens onfield stays onfield, & what comes around '''''''''''''''.

I would still like to think by the time we are fighting for finals that Sylvia will be playing full time in the midfield and we will see him at his best. He is not destined for a half forward on ball player.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
