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.

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

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
