Sort of agree with you

But

the AFL is saying the head is sacrosanct and must do due to concussion issues. Therefore any head contact deliberate or accidental that causes head injury must be penalised.

The recent ignoring of the strike to Clayton jaw and the Selwood incident shows the difference applied to individual incidents. This incident will just add to the inconsistency.

The AFL must support its "sacrosanct" statements with a meaningful minimum penalty irrespective of subjective analysis. Not likely to happen so see Tex playing next week.

Vineys contest with Hurn went unpenalised as it should. Sanity needs to prevail in such circumstances it is after all a contact sport

    On the Tex Walker incident it is important to consider the proximity and inherent danger of the goal post.

    If you take the view that the proximity of the goal post increases the duty of care then there may be a  case to answer. On the other hand if you merely consider the proximity of the goal post an "unlucky co-incidence" then no case to answer.

    To me the goal post is similar to the boundary fence and there is an inherent duty on all players to consider the damage that it can do. We have lots of rules in AFL that are designed to protect the player not to mention the rules protecting umpires.

    It is at least worth serious discussion. I would hate to see such actions given the green light.

    Bulldogs have four very winnable games in the next few weeks:

    Carlton, Suns, Bombers and Lions .... will decide their finals race ... but not out of it

    All (ok three of them) are very losable games too! Based on their form they will be lucky to win one of them. They are gone.

    Unfortunately I will have to hope the Pies win but it could easily be a massacre and the end for Nathan

    Another Choke would be wonderful, even if it means a Filth win..

    The AFL, when convenient, talk of "duty of care" as well as intent.

    Did Tex exercise required duty of care?  I guess it will depend entirely which MRP decides to turn up on Monday.

    The first ten minutes I thought that they were doing it for Bucks, but obviously not.  Surely he can't survive if they don't lift now.

    And the other game - I thought that there was something wrong with my colour scheme - WTF Hawks jumpers?  I seriously though that there could be nothing worse than their regular one, but OMG that is just disgusting.

    Looks like GWS will need another Get Out Of Jail card.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
