Off to the tribunal 

Worth rolling the dice at the tribunal - but 1 game seems about right in the current scheme of things of how 2024 being adjudicated. 

He meant contact and he hit him in the head, it’s a week, simple as that. 

We could argue low impact since Soligo played on with no ill effects.

A week was expected.
Could be considered lucky to just be the one given his record.  
Needs to get this part of his game right; he’s too valuable to be missing games.

 

Hi impact, careless, they must have made it moderate as opposed to low contact. Could be argued either way.

Great to see the first player suspended under the Maynard Protocol is a Dee. Thanks AFL.

Van Rooyen copped a fine too. 

Meanwhile van Rooyen has been hit with a fine after the Match Review Officer graded the first-quarter incident involving Adelaide defender Keane as intentional, low-impact, body-contact.

The 20-year-old has been fined $3,750 ($2,500 with an early plea).

off to the tribunal to argue it was low impact (which is what it was)

don't hire adrian anderson!

Can't be surprised with the 1 week on offer

Needs to be better 

Tribunal. Have to. 

Is he at risk of copping a second week or have early pleas been removed?

Roll the dice on the case of medium vs low impact to try and get him to play the Lions. Deserves a week, but Maynard deserved 2 at the very least.

The rules have changed since the Maynard incident so not point comparing the two. I think cop the week and move on. Let Kozzie stay in SA with his fam now for this week and the bye and then back to work.

kozzie was in the air and was “just  like a frisbee with arms “ , “ zero time to adjust”  … i always felt like saying how the hell do opening batsmen play any shots.geez that [censored] still burns in me. 
not a good look fr kozzie as he was in the air but it was to  stop the handball. unlucky. 

Definitely fight the grading

No way, he should be training his [censored] off after letting the playing group down again with his mistimed physicality.

I'd like to see it go to the tribunal just to see the AFL try and justify the high impact grading which was ridiculous.

Medium impact. It was the contact that was high (that can’t be argued)

Sick of seeing our own supporters taking shots at Kozzy. Time to back him in. Fingers crossed we make a successful challenge.

For those having a crack at Kozzie you're having a laugh. You're acting like he lined the guy up and ironed him out. We don't want him to lose his aggression, it's part of what makes him such a good player.

The 1 week suspension is garbage (just like Baker last week) but we'll cop it and move on.

Should be able to get it downgraded to low impact. But also who knows with the state of the AFL. 
A week is also not completely unreasonable

Yes of course graded medium which is wasn't, if you're grading that medium I'd like to see what gets graded as low, a kiss on the cheek maybe?

If we don't win the appeal at least expose the hipocrisy and corruption of those MRO clowns!! Makes my blood boil just remembering the thug's trial last September. 😡😡😡😡

Exactly. Find another example where medium impact caused no injury at all and the player played on. 

How did the Pendelbury love tap get graded low impact and this is medium impact? Oh I know, Michael [censored] Christiansen is how.
