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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
