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.

No matter, one point was that Dangerfield could not return, neither can ling.

yep saw it slammed him over and down.

(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.

my girlfriend just asked me if hawkins would get rubbed out for high contact on that collingwood player.

i dont know how to answer this

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)

Look up "Chin Music" that maybe close....!

Spot on. Might be time to move on.

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)
