Toby Bedford just received 3 weeks for this, might as well change the rules to no contact.

 

 

 

And Dangerfield gets one week, overturned on appeal, for his tackle on Walsh. I wonder if him being the Head of the PA came into play?

Not a fan of the preferential treatment given to Charlie Cameron in the past, however, his three match ban being upheld is a joke. The Prosecutor offered alternatives to what Cameron could have done in the situation. One of those pieces of advice was that Cameron should have let one of Duggan’s arms go during the tackle. This is absolutely idiotic advice. Make the game non-contact, or accept that concussions are still going to occur, even when a tackle is executed correctly. That brings me to my question; how can a player be penalised when they execute a tackle, in accordance with the laws of the game?

Easy to fix.  If necessary, amend the laws to state that a tackler must not propel an opponent past the horizontal unless that player has the arm closer to the ground free and is not being pushed down backwards.

Simple! Love it.

Change the rules so as to eliminate grey areas as much as possible. Get rid of knee jerk rules eg nominating ruckmen. And FFS, pay the frees when they are there!

Love this. Especially remove the insufficient intent rule. F’ng joke. Either go back to the way it was and throw it in (my preference), or be like soccer and the opposition gets the ball every time it goes out.

This game is cactus. AFL moving towards touch footy. Basketball is nearly taking over as a tougher game. That's how bad the AFL bosses has made it. An absolute joke. No more tackling people. You might hurt someone.
