Kosi reported

[HarveysDeciple]

Kozi was a touch frustrated from a couple of earlier free kicks against him and had been wrestling with wakelin a bit, he dumped him in an overzealous tackle. Undisciplined and worthy of a free kick, but no way reportable.

I loved it at the time, bring on the rough stuff! but surely no suspension for something like that.

Easy fixed - change of name by deed poll to Barry Hall - nothing to answer for...

[saintsRrising]

Will get off...

[Owen]

Nice slow mo footage just shown on SFS ...

If he gets done for that will be a crime .. clearly laid the hard tackle had no idea the ball had gone loose ..

Kosi's peripheral vision has never been good, but he would have needed X-Ray vision in this case to see that the ball had jarred loose.

he'd better not go for that and we should fight it vigorously.

i'd expect that the umpire would withdraw that report on reflection after seeing the replay.

i agree that our defence should be there is no crime against laying a strong tackle when your opponent is in possession of the ball (as kosi clearly believed).

[Solar]

agree with all those who have said that he had no idea that the ball had spilled. Free kick, nothing more. Typical of the way the umpiring has gone that the umpire had to get his head on the TV and report him.....

[Solar]

btw how this can be reported and the brown get away with nothing more then a free for pushing roo (who was out of the contest) into the oncoming pies player. This could cause more injury to the head and shoulder area then the kosi tackle.

good point. never expect anything rational from an umpire (sorry plugger66).

I just can't believe it has not been highlighted on the football show this morning. For mine that was the most dangerous thing I have seen for a long time. No reason to do it other then to cause injury to riewoldt. Perhaps I'm a little touchy about roo's shoulders but it was a stupid free to give away and dangerous to boot.

Everyone including an ex umpire on the panel this morning believe it was nothing more then a free.

[saintjake]

he should get off,
wakes will say there was no mallice in it.
his back was to it.
was in play.
probs get thrown out.

jsut blame it on overzellous umps.

[georgie girl]

I seem to remember that a tackle like this is how Roo hurt his leg earlier in the season when he was slammed in a tackle after he disposed of the ball - not even a free kick for that one! Several weeks later two very similar incidents, one a report, the other only a passing mention in the media. Where is the consistency!?? Kosi does seem to get the rough end of tribunal decisions tho!

[Owen]

Goldspink reckoned Kosi would be fine on SFS ump segment after seeing footage ..

[perfectionist]

...he should get off,

Under the current system, "Wakes" gets no say at all.

what about the tackle where harvey had his head slammed into the ground? wakelins head never hit the ground and the ball was in his hands when kossi started the tackle- and as goldspink said on SFS, its hard to stop a tackle once it has been started. should be fine if the system is fair.

[remboy]

Kosi's tackle is nowhere near as bad as the one's where the players arms are pinned and they are slammed head first into the ground, which is what the AFL wants to stop. Should be withdrawn before the MRP even looks at it.
Does the fact that he's from NSW count for anything?

[The_Dud]

didn't know the ball had spilled out, and he didn't pin the arms, should be thrown out

[TimeToShineFellas]

Let's just hope sanity prevails** and the MRP has a good look at the vision.

No case to answer for mine

** NB The terms "sanity prevails" and "MRP" are usually not used in the same sentence.

[rixxo]

[Eastern]

I'll keep my fingers crossed until there is some sort of official announcement !!

i think you've called it right with this one though

[matrix]

i saw that wakelin had got rid of the ball
and when koz got reported i thought 'here we go '

but then i saw the footage they showed of the diff angle and he had no vision.

free kick, thats about it
if jude bolton can get off a few weeks ago then surely, SURELY kozi is ok


but we all know what the tribunals like tho...
to say im not nervous would be a fib
