4 weeks, might be 5 if it was in the AFL. Not as bad as Webster on Simpkin imo as Simpkin had kicked it and was open.

I'm not sure what the Essendon bloke was doing here, you might not expect to get knocked into next week but you’ve got to expect some contact surely? Seems like he didn’t even see Parker when he was running straight at him

    In this new world he might get a couple weeks cause the bloke was KO'd but the Karens calling for his head need to get a grip.
    Play on I say.

    Joking, yes?

    May have played his last AFL game Parker.  4+ weeks then he'll have to work back into the swans best 23, again.

    The Essendon bloke should get a week for being at the wrong game.

    sorry, couldn’t help myself

    Mate, the ball is 15m away, he is trying to get to the contest and should safely assume that every other player is doing the same. 

    This is what the advocates of this new world what to see changed - do players have a duty of care to each other or not?

    Surely gets 6 weeks minimum.  Minimum. High. Severe. Intent.  Behind the play.  Grading is 

    INTENTIONAL 

    SEVERE IMPACT

    HIGH CONTACT

    Goes to the tribunal

    You say ‘play on’…

    Sometimes the dim require things to be personalised for things to make sense; your son/brother/friend is playing footy and someone 15m off the ball makes a beeline for someone you give a s$&@ about and lifts their shoulder into the jaw and breaks it.

    You’re umpiring, you see it clearly, and you say ‘play on.’

    Hmmm. Ok, sure…

    He should probably assume the bloke coming straight at him is going to bump him. Maybe he can also think “he shouldn’t really bump me here” but he’s gonna get bumped.

    They will come down extremely hard on this with 8 weeks.

    Realistically probably a 5 or 6 though.

    But the optics are particularly bad plus being off the play and being hospitalized won't help.

    Dog act though. 

  • Quote

    Not sure how some can argue anything less than 6. I’d be going season, he fully lined him up.

    I coached the young fellow in junior footy and cricket.  He's a terrific kid.  Played for Gippsland Power and represented Vic Country in the National Champs.  I messaged his mum yesterday to see how he was.  He's seeing the specialist Monday to work out the damage but it'll be sometime before he hits the field again. They are very much a "what happens on the field stays on the field" family.  Poor form from a very experienced (and very good) AFL player.  If that isn't worth 7-8 weeks I don't know what is.

    Maybe he thought he was going to the effing bench?

    Either we have rules against the nonsense off the ball or we don’t, but just because you may play footy to snipe blokes when you might get away with it - doesn’t mean the rest of us should put up with it.

    But at the last moment that psychopath Parker drives upward to change his point of impact from torso to head. Not to mention the very sudden beeline he makes to the player, turning on a trajectory away from the ball. It is simply off the ball thuggery and has no place in a game that wants to survive in this millennium.

     😂  I’m not Luke Parker by the way, you seem confused about my role in this. I didn’t bump anyone so what you put up with or don’t doesn’t really concern me. 

    I said I thought Parker will get 4 or 5, he’s chosen to bump, got the guy in the head with obviously a fair bit of force so he’s going for an extended break. 

    My separate point was that while players have a duty of care to each other I think players also need to have a duty of care to themselves - if you run around a football field expecting that everyone will get out of your way that’s not going to go all that well. Not excusing Parker, it’s just a reality.

    Would be a handy replacement for Brayshaw...can play mid, forward and back...

    ...but maybe this is for another thread.

    Parker lined him up from >20m with no intention to get the ball.

    The outcome of his action deserves 6 weeks

  • Quote

    One question about the two jurisdictions. 
    IF he were to get 6 weeks would that be for 6 VFL Swans matches - given their recurring bloody byes that could well be 8 AFL matches?

    When Wojinski (?spelling) broke JV7’s jaw in VFL he and Geelong seemed to weasel one week or more of his suspension due to the AFL team having a bye or maybe vice versa.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
