Now I'm one who doesn't winge about umpires or MRV but 3 games for that, Moore went to ground nearly the same time as he came through there is know why he expected More to drop lower what a joke, I expect the club to appeal.

    Despite all of that...you're missing the point.

    He elected to bump. How circumstances turned against him after that election are irrelevant. 

    He elected to bump and concussed a player. 

    It's a textbook suspension, everything else is irrelevant 

    I'd say this is wrong - but indeed was the basis of the decision.

    The appeal should be that BOTH players elected to bump. But Moore SLID, KNEE first.

    That's an illegal action and Moore sliding caused the incident.

    Knees first into any contact is dangerous. Sliding specifically is illegal. That's why Moore has to be held accountable and Kossy should be cleared.

    Will win on appeal.

    I’ll put my hand up and say Im exhausted by this year and the AFL. Kozzie is part of this puzzle. 
     

    History says the club will do zilch. 
     

    Gus was a bigger and more important fish. This  issue is whitebait in the scale of things of Gus.

    Should appeal. 
    But there again, I thought it should have been Kozzie’s free for Moore taking his legs. 
    At the very least, Kozzie could have no idea that Moore would be going to ground so far from the ball. He is not a mind reader. 
    They probably won’t appeal.

    The AFL has now made it clear that in these borderline cases of bump + head injury the benefit of the doubt will go to the injured player. So the player who chooses to bump takes the risk of a ban as the outcome.

    Unfortunately Kozzie has built up a bit of a reputation for the occasional reckless act, and Goodwin doesn't seem to have found a way to rein him in.

    Kozzie was a bit unlucky inasmuch as Moore ducked down very late, but by then he had definitely chosen to bump.

    So once again he misses the start of a season through an unnecessary action, this time in a match in which nothing was at stake except pride.

    There was already a thread for this.

    It’s about circumstances beyond your control.

    One second before impact Moore is standing up straight.

    He didn’t bend down exposing his head, he actually dropped his knees, putting his head much lower and in line for contact. Kozzie is coming at pace and in one second has to avoid a head that wasn’t there as he ran in.

    Kozzie is also looking down at the ball at the moment of impact and trying to kick it.

    The dropping by Moore is a circumstance outside Kozzie’s control and that is what he pleads at the tribunal. There is no head contact if Moore doesn’t drop.

    Also Moore jumped straight up and took his kick and played on. He was subbed off later at half time. How do we know conclusively what caused the concussion, which is the reason for the suspension? 

    Thank you

    Why was that not a free kick to Kozzie for dangerous play by Moore sliding into the contest.

    This has to be brought into the calculations.

    Ridiculous AFL, absolutely ridiculous.

    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)?

    On past evidence Maynard would be exonerated.

    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.

    Don't disagree, but I don't think it matters. If you chose to bump, and you make contact with the head you are stuffed.

    You may as well buy a lottery ticket if you think he gets off, no matter how much logic you can provide.

    Agreed, there is no chance Kozzie will get off.

    The best hope is to reduce the number of weeks by arguing he wasn't careless and it was reasonable action in the circumstances.  Or argue the 'severe impact' down to 'high impact' especially as Moore played on and showed no signs on the field.  Of course it depends on what the Coll doctor report says ...

     

    fwiw, Houston didn't even hit the Crows player in the head.  It was the shoulder but the MRO and Tribunal deemed it to be high anyway because it was 'the top of the shoulder'.  Go figure!

    They make up the rules to suit the outcome they want.  The only leniency on tackles etc this year has been to Brownlow candidates or 'famous' players.

    Absolute disgrace 

    If Moore stands up like a man there is shoulder on shoulder 

    Kozzi punished for Moore dropping to his knees

    Not a hope in hell gets off. Your opponent gets concussed you’re gone in 2024.

    If a Collingwood player did it to one of our players we’d be screaming blue murder and booing him for the remainder of the game.

    Kozzie needs to stop putting himself in these vulnerable positions, and they’ll be livid he’ll be unavailable until round 4.

    Do you honestly think that they will see it that way?

    The way they were converging on the ball they were BOTH going to bump, it was Moore deciding to slide last minute that caused the concussion.

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?
