How Many Weeks For Kozzy?

[H_T 3,049]

All they have to do - and should do - is Kozzy was eyes for the ball, when he elected to bump when both running in same direction. Unfortunately for Moore he elected to drop to the ground at the same time Kozzy leant in. 
Dismissed.

 

If he gets suspended for this we are literally getting bent over.

GET IN THE BIOMECHANIST AND GET THAT [censored] CHUCKED OUT QUICK SMART!

Get all the lawyers and biomechanists and character witnesses, ridiculous that is three matches, not fair just because it's kozzie.

I would love to ask him why he raised his elbow though.

If he didn't do that I think he'd be fine. 

But as I've said kozzi missing games for us is so frustrating

He didn’t raise the elbow. He gently raised his forearm as you do when you’re using your hip to body someone for the ball. There is no elbow striking motion. He can’t disconnect his arm from his body.

This decision in the context of the season is like a tap to the nuts after going 12 rounds with Tyson.

I think I’m done with the AFL… I love the MFC but I hate a lot about the competition

Raised his arm at the last minute and made contact with opponent's head.

Opponent subbed off, presumably as a result of said contact.

Pickett with a long list of priors.

What will happen, Demonlanders?

The poll is anonymous, so call it as you see it.

I predict a couple of weeks.

Moore ‘accidentally’ ruptures Petracca’s spleen breaks four ribs and kills his desire for footy in a careless act. No penalty. Kozzie slides in and accidentally hits Moore’s head with his shoulder. Three weeks. Or the death penalty! Outrageous.

Hard to ignore how much the negatives override the positives isn’t it?

 

[Demonstone 23,590]

For those arguing that Pickett should not be suspended, here's a hypothetical.

Would you take the same view if all circumstances were identical but Maynard was the player making contact and Kozzy was subbed out with concussion as a result? 

In other words, are you seeing this incident through a red and blue lens (like we all do at times)?

[Pulp Fritschon 774]

If Kossie doesn’t get off on appeal I am done with AFL. 
 

3 weeks. This is absolutely staggering and disgusting.

I think he was always getting done once Moore was taken off. I just don’t trust that Moore is really concussed. Nor do I think it’s worth 3 weeks. 

[ElDiablo14 5,061]

If the club does nothing I will spew 🤢🤢🤢 our club is bullied by other clubs like Collingwood and now the AFL. [censored] disgrace.

I have a feeling that it wasn’t Christian, but rather Laura Kane who has decided this and then the Tribunal can deal with a challenge.

I think the word concussion, no matter how caused, dictates her thinking, in view of current litigation.

Yes same thoughts. Darcy Moore contributed to the head high. Kozzie would have been surprised as anyone to get him in the head.

What the hell could he do when that moron slid to the contest, for goodness sake APPEAL!  Christian has form, especially for his own team.  This is ludicrous. Doesn’t assist my hate for the AFL, it is completely corrupt.

Useless lawyers, why do we let lawyers dictate the ruling of the sport?

By our club too. Time to make some waves and rock the boat. Enough is enough 

[Deeoldfart 8,204]

I’m outraged by this call.  It is just so wrong!  I thought one week would be tough given Moore’s complicity in the accident, but when the word ‘concussion’ came into the equation, I was half prepared for that outcome.  However three weeks is completely beyond the pale.  It’s outrageous and totally unjust!  We simply must appeal!

Ha, what? What is this? What are you saying? 
 

absolute 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Moore completely causes this incident by electing to slide in at the last second, trouble is our advocate is a dud plus Gleeson will deny any expert testimony.

I have to say that Kozzy has been much more careful this year and has stopped a lot of his follow through, that used to get him in trouble.

The AFL double standards here are a joke: always throwing the book at the easy targets, to make sure they’re seen as doing the right thing but remain completely sycophantic to the noisy, bigger clubs.

I don’t know how anyone can compare Houston’s bump to Kozzy’s contact last night. They are very very different.

That wasn’t what I was saying. I was inferring that footy has changed. The bump is dead. The rules are opaque, the umps struggle to interpret them and all the AFL can do is count its money. Kozzie had no hope even though it’s clearly an accident with zero intent. No one knows how the tribunal make half their decisions.
