But the Tribunal has already ruled a hard bump can whiplash the head and cause a concussion. They have suspended previously. Ask Kozzie about his low impact to Bailey Smiths chest, how he felt about the 2 weeks suspension he got.

Box Hill have 3 of them running around today.

Any talk on Newcomes’ late shirtfront on Clarry?

And hopefully Horne Francis hamstring is at least a 2 gamer. PS: Butters should be fined for staging. Just on half time milked a 50 and goal, pretending Lynch hit him in the head after a mark. Nothing said because he is a star, but not the first time.

Tracc- what a footballer Clarry- contested ball goat

If Newcombe doesn’t get suspended for that shirtfront on Clarry, after he got rid of the ball, they are pathetic. Clarry’s head jolted back and he hit the ground and it was a very hard bump. The very thing that can lead to concussion. That is a suspension.

Not sure he is even that good.

Carlton by the circumference of Earth.

Has anyone noticed that when you watch Foxtel footy in 4K, it’s a slightly better picture than HD, but the sound is out of sync with the picture?

Only one way to stop it, jail time.

Little Mac or Mac Jnr.

No and yes.

The older players like Pendles, Sidebottom and Howe are struggling and it is costing them. I still think a few of them won't see out the season.

This kid's hands inside are elite. We have a very good one here. Can't wait to see Tholstrup in the big time as well.

I have not so fond memories of nearly breaking my hand there. When Bucky got the 15 metre penalty against Jimmy and kicked truly after the siren in the 87 PF, I ran back and smashed what I thought was a tin pipe with my fist. Trouble was it was solid concrete.

If we really want him, I would get in his ear.

Yes assessing force is ok. 1 week for the kick and then add weeks for the degree of force, but to fine for a deliberate kick is pathetic. We used to suspend for attempted striking, no force of impact if you miss, but it was an illegal act. PS: Travis Boak said it was a bad look and struggled to defend the Tribunal decision. He said if it happened to a team mate he would be furious. Congrats on the 350 games Trav you are a great AFL player.

It wasn’t zero force, it was a light kick, but it was a deliberate kick to an opponent’s leg. That is not footy. I can kick a footy 1 metre or 40 metres and both are kicks. You don’t kick people in footy and you don’t send a good message by condoning it. Interestingly nearly all ex players in the media said it was a suspension.

I don’t want my team kicking opponents deliberately.

Most of the ex players in the media agree. To them kicking is a suspension, end of story. It was a kick not a tap. Just pathetic really. Now kids will think it’s ok to kick another player, as long as it’s not too hard a kick.

Yep, understand your point. A deliberate kick, as opposed to a tap, should not be condoned by lack of severity. It’s always been a no no, like spitting, biting and king hitting.

I think the Lions and Pies may be a bit shell shocked and hopefully that hurts their confidence and creates doubt in their game. Lions should never have lost to an undermanned and then injury hit Dockers. Pies would have lost by a lot more, with normal goal kicking accuracy by Swans and some very soft frees to the Pies for goals.

With their current scenarios, neither Petty of BBB should play 2 games in 5 days. We may be a bit lucky having BBB this year, if he can play semi regularly. Tom Mac could also prove to be handy as the year unfolds.

I don't. Not only did he upend a guy, which we know can be dangerous, but when the guy hit the ground, he actually kicked him, not heavily, but nevertheless a kick. That is a big no no. That is not getting off. 1 week is pretty good I would have thought. PS: Just re watched it several times. It's not a tap, its a kick and he deserves 1 week for that at least.
