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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
