Did I see Gawn walking to the rooms!?

May was a late out. Salem was coming via the VFL, but has a slight meniscus tear so he's out for a bit longer now.

I agree with the rest of your post up to this point. I think the MRO has got the Kozzy grading pretty much spot on, sadly, but with regards to Buddy - How can the "potential for injury" be graded High Impact but a player that actually caused a concussion be Medium Impact. It's utterly ridiculous and both should've been graded the same IMO.

Because the MRO is allowed to grade based on the potential to cause injury. As the tribunal/MRO guidelines state - "The absence of injury does not preclude the classification of impact as Severe.". In Koz's case specifically I think he's been done based on two points - 1 - High bumps, particularly with significant head contact and/or Player momentum and 2 - Any contact that occurs when the Victim Player should not reasonably be expecting or is not reasonably prepared for contact (i.e. contact off the ball) Hard to argue that Koz wasn't coming in like a bat out of hell and that it was without a doubt a late bump. While I hope we appeal, I don't like our chances. I think it's a fair assessment overall. I'm also not sure how concussing someone isn't automatically high impact. If the potential to cause injury is high impact, then surely causing injury is also high impact?

I'm thinking this. Probably have May rest another week, especially given how well Tommo played. Some serious selection headaches coming up though and isn't that just grand.

They're the ones you don't miss Chin.

Kozzzzzie!

Now that's a first goal right there. Nice hands from Spargs to set it up too.

He's only doing it because Tommo is playing well. He knows D'landers need a whipping boy ;)

Yep. He may not be May, but he's done everything expected of him one would think.

Oskar what a goal!! Oh. [censored].

Pickett doing Pickett things. Love him. Shame he booked a holiday next week.

Way too slow to kick it to anyone. So many open players and he burnt them all.

Lucky (and very happy!) you kicked that Spargs. Remember when we weren't playing selfish footy?

WHAT THE [censored] CLARRY. Stupid. Utterly stupid.

At least we're nailing the kicks to the forward pocket. That's a new skill........wait. no. Nice goal from BBB though :D

Wrong shade of blue on his jumper. Needed to be lighter.

There were 3 guys loose in the centre then and both times Lever kicks to Gawn in a pack. Why? I thought we had learnings from last year.

If you get bored of Paris you could grab a WatchAFL subscription at $44 a month or $22 a week for international viewing.

Damn. Adelaide are going to be tough this year. Played 2 games for 2 wins and 2 losses. ;)

HUNTER! What an absolute pick up he's looking to be!

Spargoat. No running over us in the 4th today.

Who says Trac can't kick goals. :D

That was slick leading up to that. Great to see.

Geez can't complain about the intensity now. It's coming from the top down.
