McQueen 17,867 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Not the best of looks but I’d be [censored] if he gets time. A rough conduct fine? 1 Quote
hardtack 11,106 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 He’ll get a week or two and rightly so. He launched himself like an Exocet missile and is extremely lucky that he didn’t do some major damage to Smith. Intent should be punished and the intent there was pretty clear. (I won’t be complaining however, if he gets off with a fine) 16 Quote

whatwhat say what 23,857 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 intent is never punished; effect is no concussion for smith, play on 8 weeks!! 5 Quote
Grapeviney 9,929 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Is he potentially in double trouble? This pic is on the AFL website. Quote

whatwhat say what 23,857 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 wow, franklin's hit way nastier than pickett's Quote
Beetle 4,739 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Hoping for a fine. Incident occurred when we needed a lift so I’ve go no issue with his intention. Thought he was immense tonight. Quote
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Didn't see Franklin's but I can see Pickett getting anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks especially with the current climate of concussion legal actions against the AFL. If he gets off it would be a miracle. Smith playing on helps the cause but the AFL won't like seeing hits like that replayed through the week and will want to send a message that we are serious on potential head injuries.

I think that was just captured at the right (wrong?) moment - seems it was just part of the push and shove but the pic makes it look like he flushed him on the jaw. Quote
brendan 3,458 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Similar to Rioli on Rowell last year and he got off 2 1 Quote

Pickett can’t argue that. In the matrix it should be careless, low, high contact, which is a fine, but the Guidelines allow the MRO to lift the impact rating up where there is potential for harm and I expect that to occur here to raise it to medium, meaning a 1 week suspension. But in the current climate I won’t be surprised if he gets high impact and/or intentional, to jack the suspension up further. 3 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 He’s a Melbourne player. Will get 25 to life. Buddy will get a bravery medal. 4 3 1 Quote
Demon Disciple 12,537 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) 3 down to 2 with early plea, throw in another 1 for the hook shot on McCrae. 3 total, which he should accept imo. Reckless, but he was trying to change the momentum of the game, go hard or go home. Edited March 18, 2023 by Demon Disciple 1 1 Quote
4_Kent_Watts 898 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 If he gets more than a week after what Cripps copped last year I'd be disgusted. Franklin threw an elbow. What will he cop. Cripps' opponent got wiped out, Smith got up like nothing happened. Smith has my respect. Tough guy not just a pretty face. Pickett deserves a week. Cripps should a got 3+. At least he got to enjoy the 2 worst feelings at the end of games i reckon he's ever felt playing Footy. 1 Quote

And the photo of the Cripps incident was so very like Kozzies bump. Feet well off the ground. PLUS the other player was concussed. Interesting this one.. 3 Quote
