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.

    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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
