what about the doctors and trainers? surely they are negligent in their duty of care for not calling for a stretcher earlier. they waited until the play came the full length of the ground even though they knew he needed to be taken off.

From a realistic point of view, Hawkins was contesting the mark, Toovey ran against the flight of the ball. [censored] happens in those situations.

From a Melbourne/AFL supporter, the Tomahawk is gonna get his butt kicked at the tribunal.

this is a totally valid point. they should have stopped the cats kicking the ball back in. does this mean the umpires will get 3 weeks for being negligent??

What about the tackle on Ling? Had one arm pinned and landed awkwardly. Immediately subbed. Was there a "duty of care" shown?

All we (the fans) ask for is consistency. For the MRP to not penalise such nothing incidents in the first place as well. But consistency please!!

Are we going to get one of these threads for every game this round?

Personally, I'm a big fan of the high mark but after all, a player's head is sacrosanct these days and even if injuries like Toovey's are accidental the player going for the mark owed him a duty of care.

I know this could spell the end of the high mark or any mark for that matter, but for the sake of every player's human rights we have to wipe it out of the game.

The Footy review show afterwards had a replay of a sling tackle on ablett last year (i think)....came in right at the end so i missed most of it. Was tackled by a Sydney player (i think it was SCG) and hit his head on the ground. Took a while to get up....anyone know about this incident and the outcome re MRP if it was looked at?

it's not a siege mentality, it's being p*ss*d off with something that's wrong and smacks of hypocrisy and inconsistency

As long as whining endlessly about it on here makes you feel better, because it's not being read by 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% of the community and it won't put JT on the field for the next three weeks.

Head high contact and off on a stretcher

Reckless?? or Accident

Obvious accident but what will AFL Do?

NOTHING, this is accepted as per the AFL rule book.

Jake Spencer knocked out a player going for a mark, and he was not suspended. v Frankston 2 weeks ago.

It wasn't Lings head that was injured.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
