Weeks. Elected to bump, knocked a guy out. Whether it's body contact or head, AFL will come down like a tonne of bricks.

    Happy holiday Houston. 6 weeks. No attempt to tackle.  Bumps. High contact.  High impact. Intentional. Indeed actually 8 weeks. Bye bye 2024 !! 
     

    anything else is criminal and AFL hypocrisy and AFL corruption

    Looks like a Maynard-esq  so called “football act”. Actually Houston had much less time to pull out.

    I know I'm a dinosaur, but for me it was a fair bump.  No head high contact, just a bone shattering bump that caused secondary damage.

    I know he'll get a minimum of 3-4, but I'd give him nothing.

    We all know that is no longer wanted in the game and for good reason, there are law suits that will cost millions and players are having to retire early such as our hero Gus.

    You just need to get with the times, if there’s no need for the contact then it shouldn’t occur.

    Phrase "Houston we have a problem" has never been more appropriate. Cant see him playing finals.

    He'll get six minimum.

    Deserves eight.

    It’s definitely 6 weeks.  It’s on the same level as the St Kilda blokes hit on Simpkin

    Severe impact so will go to the tribunal with a minimum of 3 weeks. I reckon it will be 4 - 5 weeks which is effectively the season and probably GF appearance if they make it.

    Bravo.

    I'm personally tired of the go watch golf response to these sort of incidents. One can always retort go watch kick boxing.

    I see a young man going about playing a sport, I presume he loves being deliberately lined up and smashed.

    What sort of chance did he have to brace or protect himself?

    Just like poor Gus.....Zippo.

    And yea a lot of us have a little blood lust in us.

    Surely that is satiated in fair bumps and shepherds in what is still a very physical game

    But this sort of thuggery is not right. Imagine if that was your young son out there going about his business.

    The AFL has a responsibility and duty of care to protect these guys.

    7 weeks.

    More likely 4 or 5.  5 would kill off any chance of a premiership for him, which is a bigger punishment than anything else they can dish out. It's a shame for him because he has been a very fair player over his career.

    I know all of the arguments, I just don't agree that torso bumps that result in an unforeseen concussion should be penalised.

    I accept I hold a minority view.

    I agree that if bumping (footy act with due care, not thuggery) is allowed then it is unfair that the punishment should depend on the outcome (though if you look at the law generally, this is common). 

    The resolution of this will be the total ban on bumping.   That will make gentle shepherding another realm for the umpires and MRO to be confused about.

    I get this point of view. I guess the issue is its hard to argue that kind of impact to the body results in an 'unforseen' concussion. There have been plenty of instances of the whiplash concussion from those sorts of bumps that players should know it's a risk, and just not do it. Especially when you have the chance to tackle

    On reflection, you may be more on the mark than my seven.

    Missing finals should be taken into consideration.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
