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.

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

    Our case rests: Not guilty, Your Honour!

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
