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.

I hope the players don't start twittering or Mr Anderson will get ya..

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
