Should we expect Kozzy to be suspended for that head bump?

I can’t imagine after the week of lawsuits happening that the AFL hasn’t had a word to the MRP to be harsher on hits like this. 

I’d be shocked if he didn’t get a week.

3 goals in front and couldn't have played worse up to the 20 minute mark of the quarter. Hopefully 2nd half is better.

Also huge respect to Brodie Grundy.

Ran in with such intense to stick up for Kozzie in that scuffle.

All while English was getting ragdolled by Spargo and Bowey 😂

Kozzie needs to reign in the dumb frees, play with some anger but channel it better.

In super slow mo it hits his chest and then the rest hits head area and he gets straight up, I would normally say he prov gets one, but no concussion, played game out, initial contact is to the chest… 4 weeks.

Loving our attacking style of footy when we get that run going we look super dangerous like 2021 again

[layzie 30,095]

Well done girls!

Tomlinson has been good - happy to say.

Yep. If he flattened out Smith it would be worse. in a week that ex players are putting a case together & with the AFL trying to cut out the head high contact he'll get something 

He'll get weeks unfortunately.  

Can't be doing that in time where concussion is a very sensitive and serious concerning matter.

[BDA 20,843]

Great to see our women’s team doing a lap of honour. And getting a good reception 

[Demonland 66,719]

Kozzy will probably get a few weeks for that late hit.

It looked like he may of been protecting himself but I think he may get a week.

Not sure it was head ? More chest area

yep surprised if only a fine but hope so

[Demonstone 19,859]

A couple of observations from the couch:

We look much better when Max holds his marks.  (#Captain Obvious)

Grundy needs to vary his tapouts in the centre rather than directing it behind him (ie towards the Dogs' goals) every time which the opposition are pouncing on.

Pickett might not get suspended.  It was shoulder to shoulder I think and Smith bouncing straight back up will be in Kozzy's favour.  Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tribunal gave him life without parole.

It's a typical Demons v Dogs game with momentum swings.  Be nice to bury them in the 3rd quarter.

sadly I think I agree. didn’t make head contact though so might get lucky. it’s a bad look , it’s early in the season so he might get made an example of.

Only when it suits him

I think Libba mostly gives his all.

Ha ha I understand what you mean. But we need him on the park and Byron was a star but people forget how good a player he was.

Everything was a dumpster fire until they put those two and Gawn in the middle and then we started to work. We just can’t do without them. They are the most talented duo in the AFL. Their chemistry is outstanding. 

Yeah it was, but Viney allows them to play attacking football knowing thedefensive side is covered.

Just like Uncle…

[Sideshow Bob 2,165]

They're talking a week on TV for kozzie.

 

I think there's a massive argument that his intention was to hit the shoulder and he got 95% there- a free kick downfield for a late hit seems an appropriate penalty 

[dees189227 11,194]

I don't think Daisy was there in the lap the girl's did. She was the captain & that could have been her final farewell. Bit disappointed 

I hope it had nothing to do with geelong.

He will be a big out. Stupid act. Brain fade.

I know that was a great comeback but I don't think we are even playing that well yet.

Four to five impacting the game as yet. 

Defence doing well without May.

Expecting an even bigger third.

Go DEES
