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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
