Lachie Hunter Loses Bid To Overturn 1 Week Suspension

He’ll get cited no doubt under the current climate.

The only key question is if it’s medium (1 week) or low (fine).

The fact that Rozee played on and indeed kicked the winning goal would provide an argument for low contact.

    geez, if you get suspended for that, what has the game come to

    sadly, being mfc (jvr), christian will pounce on it like a fox in the hen house

    How about Rozee gets cited for headbutting Hunter. If players contest head first, they'll cop high contact and risk injury - but just like Spargo's self-concussion a few weeks back, it's their own fault.

    Our lawyers should attempt to negotiate a life time ban 

    In fairness to Hunter his mate on the other wing is stinking up the joint as well.

    Has had a really bad season to date. Not sure if the change of wing is the cause.

    Remember Christian has been humiliated by Melbourne, who he already hates, so no way will Hunter not be suspended for an action entirely initiated by Rozee.  
    I have mentioned before numerous times, players charging headlong into packs or other players need to be penalised themselves - if not there will be some poor bugger left paralysed and an “innocent bystander” forever condemned just for being there.  

    For what it's worth I don't think Christian loses much sleep when the Tribunal or Appeals Board override his decisions. One does not become the Match Review Officer by caring about what others think.

    Agree with your second point. In this instance Rozee was out of control and owes himself a duty of care.

    1 week. Same for Jonas. Great HTB call you cheating umpire.

    NARRM recruit Lachie Hunter has been suspended for one match for his high bump on Connor Rozee.

    The MRO cited Hunter for forceful front-on contact, deeming the incident as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

    We are getting absolutely murdered by the MRO this year. 
     

    I still don’t know how Andy Brayshaw escaped suspension with his hit a few weeks back.
     

    Funny because had Hunter decide to fall over Rozee, potentially kneeing him in the head, he would have got a free, Rozee would have had a facial re construction and Hunter would be playing next week.

    Oh FFS. 
    If Hunter had fallen forward over the top of Rozee, he might have got a free for having his legs taken out. That's whatb players will do.

    But there is more:

    Meanwhile, Yartapuulti captain Tom Jonas has also been banned for a match for rough conduct on Tom McDonald.

    Christian Salem was fined $3000 for tripping Jason Horne-Francis, while Ollie Lord and Jack Viney both copped $3000 fines for rough conduct.

    is that the TMac incident where Jonas got the free kick?

    • Grapeviney changed the title to Lachie Hunter suspended for 1 week

    I think if Hunter had done anything else (excluding running away from the contest), Rozee might have had a more significant injury. We should challenge the ban. We would be providing a service for all footy fans by exposing Christian as the inept clown he is.

    It’s a good opportunity to mix our midfield rotations up and the way Fremantle’s midfield are running where going to need more leg speed than Hunter can provide.

    Is as though Rozee had no duty of care ( to himself ) let alone Hunter.

    Must appeal this…they want players to have a duty of care. I believe Hunter turned and stood for protection. To me he had no intention of hurting Rozee.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
