Two weeks is fair. One week for Buddy is not. But here we are with the superstar tax dedication.

    If it was high impact to the head then Bailey Smith would still be waking up.

    Medium impact at most.

    Kossie isn’t responsible for the afl hiring a fraud as their concussion doctor and various other mistakes over the years.

    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

    Nar they will both contest  Kossie will be downgraded and get one week, Buddy downgraded to a fine and he gets to play the Hawks for the last time.

    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. 

    They can't increase it. They either reduce it or it stays the same.

    Would you rather get a hard bump with no damage or be knocked out?

    APPEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To say high impact when absolutely no damage is disgraceful.

    Sending a message and giving him a week would have been fair imo.

    I think Kossie would be angry with us if we didn’t back him.

    I think we might appeal to try and downgrade to medium impact. No reduction for early plea means no chance to get it upgraded either right?

    You’ve all got your red and blue glasses on here. You can’t leave the ground and choose to bump, let alone when the ball is out of the area. I love Koz, but that was a really dumb thing to do.

    Just wait for some special player at one of the AFLs favourite club to do the same thing. He will get a small fine or some appeal would get him off. We should appeal.

    Rubbish.

    How can no damage be high impact? What then is concussion/broken jaw, WW3?

    I would challenge high impact only and take one week.

    TBH I am sick of us being made examples of without any argument from us.

    One week was fair.

    If he caused injury of course he deserved more, but he didn’t and no damage can’t in any way be high impact. How can you have high impact on high contact ( the head )  with absolutely no damage and not even medical attention or a test of any kind.

    Ridiculous.

    Too many on here have reacted to the opticals and yes it wasn’t a great look, but it still must be dealt with properly not just made up.

    The Buddy and Kozzi decions are unreal.  Both Carless, Both HIgh contact.  Buddy medium Impact and Kozzie HIgh impact yet it was Buddy's player that went off concussed while Kpzzi's opponent bounced up and played out the game.

    How on earth could Kozzie's bump be high impact while Buddy's be medium impact?

    Arrrgghhh!  No sense in that!!!!!  Kozzie take the two weeks and learn from it.

    Yes it was dumb, but you don’t get weeks for being dumb, you get weeks for actual rule breaches.

    This is a terrible adjudication of the rules. It’s simply not high impact.

    I hear you, but can you honestly look at the two incidents without thinking of all the BS gradings and not think that Kozzi deserves more weeks than Buddy?  The ball was in dispute with Buddy, he was on the ground.  Kozzi, the ball was gone

    Because they upgrade the level based on potential to cause injury. i.e. it's as much about how dangerous a tackle is as the outcome.

    This is the change to the system that many aren’t taking into account and why we would be wasting our time and focus if we were to challenge.

    That may be so but the way the MRO has classified the two incidents doesn't make sense.  Simples!

    Does the MRO publish the basis for their gradings? Notwithstanding the change to the rules, I don't understand why Buddy wasn't graded high impact given the player was concussed.

    IMHO . . . 

    Those that are arguing for one week and comparing Kossi's sanction to bumps handed out to others, are overlooking one basic, fundamental fact about the human experience. There is no justice in the world. And operating under the illusion that there is only causes sorrow and pain.

    Did Kozzie make contact with the head?  Sure, he jumped when moving to bump, but as already said, Smith got up and kept playing.  Franklin's elbow makes contact with a blokes jaw, who is clearly affected by the hit and leaves the field.  If the penalties which have been respectively offered make sense, then I am an absolute dill. Fair and consistent is all we ask.

    Agree with the Kozzie suspension, disagree with the Buddy one. 

    The Buddy one falls into the protected species category.  Happens all too frequently to be some sort of conspiracy theory

    What do they say in law enforcement?  There's no such thing as a coincidence

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
