viney.............successfully but yeajh, we typically don't

i think you meant to say without.............lol

macca, the fact he went off his feet quite a distance from contact meant he had less driving force than if he had a foot anchored. people carry on a bit about jumping but in fact it can reduce impact force, but it does increase the height of contact making head contact a better possibility, However less so if you are as short as kossy (171cm)

they certainly showed inconsistency by only giving buddy 1 week. pretty dumb if they claim to be that serious with cozzy and the concept of potential risk. cozzy is a midget compared to buddy. definitely worth a challenge

actually i agree that smother was the wrong word i meant to really say that he wanted to deflect the disposal by bumping him as he was kicking but he timed it badly. if smith had delayed his kick by a second he might have succeeded, so yes that's on kossy....but that is why i thought it was somewhat footy related and not just malice my bad choice of words originally

macca i think "deliberate" (or "intentional") means that he intended the offence, i.e. striking head high. His badly timed attempt at a smother was deliberate but not to strike high which was why it was classified careless.. does that make sense?

i'm not so sure you can write off kossy's actions as being a "npn-football act". kossy is lightning fast and has noticeably and miraculously smothered or deflected opposition disposals in the past where others wouldn't have had a chance in hell. sure, he got his timing wrong here but once he committed that was it. he deserved to be reported but not on the basis it was a "non-football act". even the mro rated it as careless rather than deliberate.

exactly, the notion of upgrading a low impact collision to a high impact collision when it patently wasn't is an abuse of process. if they specifically want to highlight (punish) a potential outcome they should add an extra criteria to the decision matrix rather than bastardise a existing criteria of different spcificity. kossy may well deserve 2 weeks (debateable) but the process is a dogs breakfast.

oh c'mon, irw, you are starting to sound like paul keating lecturing others shut the # up

yeah, i can't see cyril catching kozzy now

but goody says it wants him to keep playing on the edge

it's the freo water

oh, go on. we lurve vindictiveness here on demonland feel free to carry on

so, it needs to be established then why a low impact was graded higher than the expected medium

he was looking for some feathers he misplaced

I can see "some" logic in upgrading the impact rating (albeit subjective without any specific guidelines), but this was low impact and has been upgraded two levels not one. that needs to be at least challenged

171cm (5'7") demon giant terrorises dogs

jacko up to 4 disposals now with a metres gained of -23 unicorn

essington about to top the ladder uugh

did you just say 'crowd'?

the mro will have better grist for their mill than cozzy. two front charging incidents by crow players resulting in concussions. if they're looking to set examples these are tailor made
