Onya Mick

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Good news indeed.

Now we need Cameron to miss, Stevie J to do a hammy, Dylan Shiel a groin, Mumford the same ankle and Griffen to do his knee to be a strong chance.

Cameron sent directly to the tribunal.  Two weeks minimum, I guess.

He fractured the cheekbone of the opposing player. 

I expect he'll get at least 3.

I still dispute that he made contact to the head, but it's a good result for us.

What a [censored] ruling. Charged with rough conduct. WTF is that? A bump is now rough conduct? What are the custodians of our game doing....

The fine print on the AFL site says that it was low impact to the head. Question is - was it to the head?

But if you do hit him high then it appears as if your intent was to whack rather than get the ball.

Don't they have "a duty of care" for their fellow players now? Not if you are a coach, Doc or board member at Ess but fellow players do now days, don't they? I'm sure over heard Dill Trott this line out before.

Finally trying to protect players from brain injuries thus indemnifying the AFL from future law suits like Bellys?

IF that is rough conduct, there was a similar hit on Kennedy that was much more forceful a little later in the game.  Where is the rough conduct charge for that one?

Pedo is a clean skin according to this...  I think maybe we should fight it. to keep his clean record.  who wants points or carryover record for that.  lets not take the soft option.

If it keeps on getting warmer, pretty much what it's going to feel like.

Anyway Pedo, pay the fine. Lucky.

I've never liked this line of thinking. If we can't beat them at their best then do we deserve to win?

well considering no-one is ever at their best, it's a bit academic. i always take the 4 points. the rest evens out over time

I think it was, but certainly not by design.  But in saying that, it was clear that both players were going hard at the ball and only had eyes for the ball.

Beginning to get annoyed about how medical reports are "used" in situations like these.

They are always used and the doctors have some responsibility to get them right. I don't hate the medical report, I hate how much they count the impact. 

Anyway, in this case the medical report was obviously all clear so it's worked for us.
