A pies player (did not catch who) grabs ling by the arm and drags him to the ground without the ball and slams Ling into the ground, shoulder out.

Must be cited and suspended.

    Ling seems to be okay at the moment. Had no trouble putting on the red vest at the moment.

    Would say if Ling was still in trouble it should definitely have gotten weeks.

    (creates thread on Tom Hawkins and how he should get 10 weeks for knocking Toovey out cold)

    It was Cloke. Dragged him head first to the ground pinning one arm and a serious shoulder injury. Shoulder is high contact, injury is high impact and either negligent or reckless. He is in big trouble as Ling will miss weeks unlike Dangerfield. Oh no what I am saying, he plays for Collingwood, won't even get cited.

    By the way at the 7.40 minute left mark of the 2nd quarter Varcoe did a swing tackle pinning both arms and driving the player head first into the ground, could have broken his neck, but luckily no injury and will not be cited.

    Pretty simple.

    No, cos Hawkins was going for the ball and Toovey was the one who instigated contact by going back with he flight of the ball.

    On SEN said Ling is injured and it could be worse than first thought as shoulder wrenched backwards, which is unusual. Ling did not have the ball and had one arm pinned and could not protect himself, sound familiar. Guarantee Cloke is not cited.

    Since when did the shoulder become the head?

    Dangerfield hit the ground on his shoulder then his head.

    Cloke was negilgent and he should be punished for what could have been, not was.

    I looked up all Papal Encyclicals since 1950 (google is my friend) and nowhere could I find that the shoulder is sacrosanct.

    For that matter couldn't find any reference to sacrosanct heads either but then I remembered that was a Fuehrer Vlad/ArchPrick Anderson encyclical and for reasons unknown hasn't been endorsed by the Holy See yet.

    Won't be long before Head, shoulders, arms and backs are sacrosanct leaving a 10cm strip on the front of the body above the waist free for tackling contact, as long as the player tackling exercises due care with respect to injuries to the sacrosact areas as a result of the outcome of the tackle bearing in mind all possible permutations, and, where there is no other option but to tackle (e.g. tickling, trash-talking, etc)

    how about, hawkins knew the player was coming and had a duty of care not to raise his knee?

    Yes but, what about the duty of care on the Pies player to not endanger (to tunnel) the oncoming Hawkins. He landed head first?

    I think self preservation comes first (if justifiable)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
