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 know what you mean but the boundaries have shifted. 
It’s the same as saying about a sling, tackle, ”I didn’t tackle him high. He hit his head on the ground.”

These days that sort of contact causing a concussion just cannot be classified as unforeseen.

Straight to the tribunal, but it has been deemed as careless rather than intentional.

The horse has probably bolted on this one, but what an addition he could've been to our club.

60 meter spear passes from half back, or threading the needle with inside 50 targets. Exactly the attributes we're crying out for.

I don't think the horse has bolted but could be wrong.

Funny, when Melbourne where the set destination, it was 2 first round picks based on Cal's Gettable podcast. Now that we are out of the picture and the Blues maybe a destination, its just 1 first round pick @ 12.

I wouldn't completely rule this out yet.

Bit of water to flow under the bridge before trade period.

I’ve seen the clip a couple times and it just looks like a really good hard bump with no head high contact (there might have been but I can’t see any).

Yeah I can’t make up my mind on the incident. I like Houston, just saw he copped 5 weeks.

Yeah I’m the same. A concussed player and ‘duty of care’ guarantees he’s gone even though it’s just looks to be a well executed hard bump.
 

Oh wow, I thought they would have given him 4 so there’s a chance he could make the Granny. Maybe that will be the case after the appeal.

I really don’t think there was malice in what he did 

5 weeks is pretty standard for that type of action. There was no need to bump, he chose to and the player was knocked out.

I see what they did there.

He was wearing the wrong black and white stripes

This year is very different to the past 19 before it. Webster got 7 or 8 for his bump.

Sam Powell Pepper got 4 earlier in the year and his wasn’t as bad as this one.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
