    If Mummy can get off for his roundhouse to the head then May should get off for bracing himself for contact. Berry should be charged for trying to charge May ?

    Is it that different to the Viney one we successfully challenged a couple of years ago?

  • Quote

    I'm extremely disappointed in the poor discipline shown by May (which is not unusual for him).  Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, he should never have put himself in that position.  It wasn't a show of strength, but rather a show of stupidity, which is likely to cost the team.  Grrr.

    As usual the tribunal have their gestapo hats on early in the season. What a ridiculous penalty.

    Even think of Burton on Higgins last year.

    This.  I'd question whether he even got him in the head.  Maybe grazed his chin with the bump.

    They probably won't challenge it, but I'd like to see them have a dip at it.  As you say, if Mumford can get off for his roundhouse then May should be right with this.

    I said this in the other thread, but if May does miss, it's not a bad time to do it with Charlie Dixon not playing.  Frost and O Mac can hold down the fort for a week.

    What do u expect him to do? Jump out of the way? Goodwin would’ve given him more than one week for doing that. 

    You are allowed to block/body check a player from running through to receive the handball. There was no force for what May did. All he did was brace himself.

    yea challenge that bs

    Can you put the gif of the hit in here?  I'm still not convinced it did anything more than possibly graze his chin.  Got him right down the middle, but that's legal.

    Judged to be careless conduct and medium impact to the head.

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-11/bans-for-key-demon-and-docker-fines-for-six-others

    But "Berry walked off the ground unassisted and was not concussed"  So how is it 'medium impact'?  Must appeal on that alone!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
