Free kick, definitely. Report? Borderline rough conduct. Can't give a 50, not in the rules !!

[Munga]

I reckon Roo has been KO'd at least half a dozen times this year.

[White Winmar]

Rough conduct. Should've been reported. That sort of crap needs to be stamped out of the game through dishing out suspensions. Extraordinarily dangerous. A dog act.

And that's without Kosi playing!

The player should be cited under Rough Conduct - Reckless, Medium, Body. This is a level 1 charge drawing 125 demerit points.

I actually think it was a deliberate mongrel act (like Dennis) but the MRP is weak and the damage was only done to Nick.

Agreed 100%

I've always said that tunneling isn't taken as seriously in footy as it should be.

There have been some very serious spinal injuries in rugby union in the past because of this tactic at lineouts, as a result it's viewed as a very serious offence in that code - it should be the same in our game.
I have an old mate in England who went through 12 months of rehabilitation just to be able to walk again after someone took out his legs at a lineout back in the 90s in a local club game. He never played again after that.

IMO it should be a reportable offence and an automatic 50 metres.

It still astounds me how blase some people still are about this kind of dog act. It's unbelievably dangerous.

His arms went up like he was concussed, did we test him?

I doubt it because he only hurt his back.

No idea what are talking about. That wasnt for a free only and you know it. No such rule.

Payed a free and fifty in the same action against Riewoldt on Lonergan last week.

No.

[CURLY]

Yes

[plugger66]

Yes

No he didnt Curely. There is no such rule. There were 2 decisions in that. Umpires may make mistakes but they dont with that rule.

What you saw was correct. He was concussed and even convulsed for a brief time. He hit his head on the ground when he landed. He should have stayed off for the rest of the match, but through a combination of his own determination to continue to play and weak decision making by the medical staff, he went back onto the ground. The whole incident was a bit of a disgrace.

Not how i saw it. His back hit the ground and very minor contact to the head if any.If he was even slightly concussed they would do a test but we seem to know more than the doctors even though they speak to the player.

I agree, he was looking somewhere else on the bench, he did hit his head you're right...
