Kysaiah Pickett on report

Well kozzie needs to learn how to bump properly. Because he is missing 2 very important games

[Jaded No More 42,463]

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

[DeeSpencer 19,971]

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.

Challenge the mongrelly corrupt AFL DEES 🤮 No damage dishlicker played on and so no effect! WTF CHALLENGE THE BEAUROCRATIC AUTOMATONS !

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?

Still Friggen Corrupt and displays yet again Name players get preferential treatment FMD

[The heart beats true 11,519]

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.

[dl4e 4,880]

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!

[BDA 15,129]

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. 

[Ethan Tremblay 26,364]

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

[DutchDemons 838]

Cop the two weeks, don’t do it again, move on.

[Queanbeyan Demon 4,708]

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.

[I'va Worn Smith 732]

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.

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

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,420]

Giving Franklin just 1 week for his hit is rubbing salt into the wounds. He will be free to play us now
