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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
