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.

    probably unpopular opinion.

     

    I am glad Kozzie thumped moore

     

    any suspension is worth it,

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
