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

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
