Ralphy just said we should know in 20 mins

he reckons Buddy 1 week

Kozzi 2 weeks

That’s fair, you get more for a bad look that doesn’t cause damage, than actual damage.

The first point of contact with Smith is the shoulder and then Smith’s head whiplashes back, but without any damage, or even medical attention.

Looks to me like Smith picked up Kozzie (who was minding his own business and planking with Bowey) and is attempting to run away with and steal him.

Some good posts, even if I don’t take out my MFC beating heart and try and be subjective, and not argue equivalency, then clearly this still needs to be a learning moment for Pickett. Leaving the ground is something we’ve loved about him, remember the tackle from the recruiting video?, but he needs to adjust. Love the player but I do want players to be more careful of heads. If that costs a week to learn the lesson I can cope, I would prefer a large fine.

 

Am curious as why there wasn’t mandatory concussion check on Smith, there is a story there as well.

lol who bumps like that?!

gotta love Kozz


High impact? I'd be challenging that to reduce to a week.

Our case rests: Not guilty, Your Honour!

Not For Me No GIF by Originals

 

Kozzie got two weeks. Buddy got one. Just as expected.

Hang on. Kozzies was deemed high impact despite his opponent getting straight up, playing on, and not even requiring a concussion test.

But Buddy is medium impact when his opponent was taken from the field under concussion protocols and sat out.

Nice one AFL. [censored] me dead

Fair result. Hope he keeps his natural aggression but keeps low and grounded when he bumps and avoids the late ones too.

Fair result.  I'm relieved.

I like the early results so the media hysteria can't influence too much

Look I expected kozzie to get suspended but Franklin should have got 2. He elbowed collins in the head and the player was concussed. 


We have to challenge the impact grading.

Buddy returns for our match

So no injury is worse than concussion!

No injury is high impact: concussion is medium impact   Unbelievable

Buddy > Kozzie.

I will be annoyed if we don't contest this on the grounds it wasn't high contact as it was a hit to the body.

Though knowing us we will just roll over as always.

100% agree. Absolute joke. Collins was concussed FFS!

It wasn’t high impact. The MRO works off a formula but if you just make things up to get an answer you think is about right, change the bl**dy formula then. Don’t take the outcome into account! 

we would be insane to challenge this finding.  keeps it in the media for days and could (?) possible result in more weeks

Impact looked high to me. Imagine a barrel chested Kozzi flying full pace into your chest, low impact?  i dont think so

The criteria should not be if the bloke is big and tough enough to get up straight away it should how hard to bump was.

he was clearly hit in the head after the primary contact to the body.  see picture posted earlier

I’d leave it, but if we want to challenge it has to be the grading of high impact over medium (not high contact over body). 

Smith got up straight away with no injury. That is “low”. The MRO has upgraded it two levels. He’s graded it more severely than Buddy, where his victim was concussed. 

I fully support the Guidelines allowing the MRO to upgrade the severity to account for potential to harm but upgrading it two levels may not be fair. 

Ultimately I’d cop the 2 weeks but this is where I’d challenge if I had to. 

Possibly the worst fortnight of games to miss, unfortunately.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
