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.

The rules says it’s high impact if it can cause damage to the victim even if, in actuality, it did not. On that basis, the club needs more to sustain an appeal and the visuals are pretty damaging on the face of it.

Hoping that Jack Viney is fit and ready to play on Friday night to offset Kozzie’s absence.

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

May will be back and he owns Buddy so all good.

IMHO . . . 

Those that are arguing for one week and comparing Kossi's sanction to dumps handed out by 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. 

As they say about the court system - it’s not a court of justice, it’s a court of law.

If May is back, Buddy might fake an injury to avoid another smashing

If we take off our red and blue glasses for a moment, I think two weeks is a fair outcome. It is perfectly possible for a high impact collision not to cause serious injury, particularly if players do not connect directly with the head. But Kozzie's deliberate leap off the ground at high momentum showed reckless intention and had the potential to do significant damage. Although his absence will leave a big hole he needs to learn to temper his natural aggression with common sense. We would not like to have seen an opposition player do that to any of ours. A couple of years ago, he would probably have got away with one week, but the rules on any kind of violent and illegal contact are rightly being tightened. Let us at least hope that this season we will get some consistency on this kind of disciplinary action.

Two weeks is a fair outcome. BUT, you can’t look at one without the other. Buddy got graded medium impact. Kosi graded high. Smith played on. Buddy’s opponent had to come off for a concussion test. It is just so unfair!

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.

Well if that’s what the rule is, I change my view.

So if I understand correctly now, it’s one guy’s opinion of what level of danger was in the action. That’s a wonderful rule, that will see a lot of consistency in decisions.

I really don't get how you can be punished on the basis of what might be.

Either the other party was injured/concussed or not. Is intent somehow being read into this?

If the MRO is now including a factor called 'potential to cause injury', then they should not bury it under the level of impact but instead have a seperate line for potential to cause injury.  Furthermore, there should be levels for that, just like they have for impact.

If not that, some more fleshing out how and why things were graded how they were.

Considering all the concussion talk going on at the moment Pickett is lucky to get 2 weeks, the AFL loves nothing more than taking a stand on the issue of the week.  
 

Cop the 2 weeks and move on.

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

I know what you mean,  but Buddy could have easily avoided all contact but chose not to. The other player was bending down to get the ball, and did not see him coming.

You honestly think the impact grading for both incidents shouldn’t be the same, when one player came off for a concussion test and one went on to get 30 touches?

of course not. completely different incidents. one was a clip to the head. other was a flying tackle to the chest, hitting high later.

Careless? Certainly.

High contact? Barely.

High impact? No way. 

It was stupid and a bad look, but if we aren't fighting this to be downgraded to a one week or a fine, I'll be very disappointed.

Fair enough Dub but every time players tackle or clash in an aerial contest there is potential for injury. These are big hard bodied athletes moving at high speed. There are numerous opportunities for bad outcomes from innocent acts.

What concerns me is that once litigators / lawyers get into the act the game will change fundamentally.

I hope this doesn't sound like I'm going down the the reductio ad absurdum  track but once some sort of a lawsuit occurs will we get to the point where tackling is litigated out of the game ?

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
