Reading the thread title, I thought he might have slagged on him!

If Johannisen played for us, this would go to the tribunal and JJ would be denigrated for falling over after making slight head high contact with a padded surface. 

Walker would then receive an apology for any stress caused by putting him through the unwarranted attention.

I think he should be in trouble as it's a very danderous act and no different to pushing someone into the fence, will he get suspended? Im not convinced the AFL Has a way of protecting high profile players, will be interested to see how it plays out most commentators and so called experts are already putting it in the accident basket

remind me ... did Hodge go

They look equally bad save that Hodge appeared to have a raised elbow and was arguably a little later and therefore out of play.

Hodge got 3 weeks didn't he? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

The other thing that perhaps one can say is that the Hodge push had little if any context in the game itself (it was a push for the sake of it)  whereas the Walker push was as part of a legitimate act of shepherding

Tex says he didn't mean to push him into the post, but that's beside the point.  It still happened and you could argue the push occurred after the ball had passed them both.

Happy with a week as it helps us, but still think he'll get off.

except it wasn't a legitimate shepherd. it was a definite push in the back. plus it was after the ball had passed the goal post. then you have to factor in the duty of care. he obviously knew where the goal post was as he was directly facing it. no doubt the mrp will look at it. i think he is in trouble but i have little faith in the mrp's objectivity

Tex meant to push him with the clear hazards of immovable goal posts directly in his sight and the bump lined him up with those hazards perfectly.

Once again, this will become an 'outcome based assessment' and due to that fact he'll probabalh get off with a fine.

The potential though....

Not comparable to hodge/wingard.

With the hodge one the ump had well and truly blown whistle to stop play,  but hodge went on with it. Also Hodge impacted Wingard's head with his hip, crushing his head between hip and post.

Even though the ball has passed JJ at considerable speed by about 3-4m, it could easily be argued that he was a chance to touch it and Tex had every right to shepherd the goal. The umpire even said that on the spot.

The way the AFL is atm I wouldn't be surprised (or disappointed, given who we play next round) if he got a week.

This poor bloke has had everything but the point post thrown at him in the last five weeks

Well if he's asking for 800K a season, let him prove he's worth it, so far definitely not.

The way the MRP/Tribunal has been handing out penalties for low acts, this should be a 4 week penalty reduced to 3.

Taylor Walker could be in trouble with MRP for pushing Jason Johannisen into the goalpost

Saw the footage this morning and there was nothing in it.  Tex had every right to lay a bump on JJ to protect the goal.  It is nothing like the Houli and Bugg acts which both deserved at least 3 - 5 weeks.

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
