So why isn't Cyril being cited when he bumped weideman head on and then lifted his leg and drove him into the turf?

That was head on.

once he grabbed the leg and lifted NRL style it should have been a free and a report - it is a dangerous tackle.

    (n) bumps or makes forceful contact to an opposition Player from front-on when that Player has their head down over the football. NOTE: – a Player can bump an opposition Player’s body from side-on but any contact forward of side-on will be deemed to be front-on; – a Player with their head down in anticipation of winning possession of the football or after contesting the football will be deemed to have their head down over the football for the purposes of this law. '

    This situation perfectly sums up what Oliver was doing.

    Another form of shepherding is bumping, which is when a player uses their hip and shoulder to bump another player, not using their arms. This technique can be carried out by anyone against any opponent as long as they are within five metres of the ball. Bumping can only occur if the player bumping has their feet on the ground, and no contact can be made with the head. A shirt front, which is a front on bump and usually quite aggressive, is a reportable offence and considered illegal. While a tackle is usually more effective in dispossessing a player, a bump is normally a harder physical hit, although will not result in a free kick, whereas tackles can.

    no mention of a shirtfront needing to hit the head, nut

    There were two actions where a free should have been paid and neither were paid.

    rules of shepherding (which is what bumps come under as they are not a tackle)

    I gave the web site link i.e. http://www.aflrules.com.au/afl-game-rules/

     

    p.s. think we can thank an ex-demon (and port) player for the shirt front becoming illegal

    p.p.s. even the nrl has banned the shirtfront only they call it a charge

    My squeezes son reckons that Hawthorn get a cushy ride from umpires and i have countered that he is looking at isolated incidents - praise be the Barrass that we won on Saturday as I can honestly say we were well and truly shafted for most of the afternoon.  

    It is not only what they do pay but also what the dont pay and the blatant inconsistency between the three umpires adjudicating. Maddening.

     

    ( focus your attention on Gawn - the amount of times he was obstructed from getting to a ruck contest or a marking contest and it wasnt picked up was obscene)

    That is what he should have been reported for.  The bump was perfectly legal in the context of the rules.

    no it wasn't  - the bump report is now saying low impact to the head....

    it is quite different isn't it and both from the afl

    on your link check out  "15.4.4 Charge or Charging" on page 48 as part of " 15.4 FREE KICK – PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED PHYSICAL CONTACT"

    Cyril is a dirty w****r and I think that he will get what he deserves in the long run. I can't wait to see Petracca and others seriously hurt him in future years. Karma is a b***h.

    I looked at that and didnt think it was a charge  - I am more confused now than ever ( if that is possible)

    I think it may be becoming clear why different umpires make different decisions. They read different websites.  The AFL couldn't organise the proverbial in a brewery.

    was a fair bump. didnt get him in the head

    it was all the ducking by Cyril and the spear tackling that was disgraceful

    Talking to the bushies boys they said when he played seniors for Mooroopna as a 16 year old he was bit of a loose cannon on the field. Always wanting to biff with blokes 10 years his age and giving the older blokes lip service for taking up spots in the ones lol..

    He will NOT take a backward step. This is why Nathan Jones said he is the toughest young kid he has ever seen. Look at the way he lost his [censored] at Myke Cook when he bit him.

    Half way through the year during a Murray Bushrangers game he cracked a 16 year old kids shoulder because of an absolute bone crunching tackle. Darren Ogier and the coaching staff sat him down and told him he needed to curb his aggression as they knew at AFL level he would come under much more scrutiny.

    Didn't look high to me.

    Don't really care about the AFL's convoluted take on these incidents but if the end outcome is that he gets to play next week then I'm okay with that. Was a good hit.

    On that photo you would say Ollie has contributed to the head high, by bending his knees. If he stays upright, he gets hit int he chest.

    Anyway, lets all move on, we have 3 more games to win..

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
