The footage 360 showed last night clearly showed Cunnington shoulder made contact directly with Lairds head.

Not so sure.....we would have said the same thing about the 'diving on the ball, sliding in rule' a few years ago. You cant ban that as they are just going for the ball, all of a sudden we now see packs of players standing still leaning over to pick the ball up and barely any diving, sliding, throwing themselves into the ball.

The same would happen if the bump was banned, all a sudden 99% of time the players would manage to find a way to avoid that slightly late/last second bump which tends to be the ones causing the issues.

Whilst I don't agree with banning the bump I think its only a matter of time, the first rule to be implemented will be the ban on bumping for sheparding, you wont be allowed to bump a bloke who doesn't have the ball.

How he didn't get more just shows the bias against Geelong.

In both those instances, the player is going for the ball. When you bump, you have no intention going for the ball.

That doesn't really come into account at the tribunal.

He could have looked to tackle and worst case outcome is he wraps around the hips and brings the player to ground and gives away a holding the man.

He choose to bump, hit the head and will now be suspended. The AFL cant be clearer, you bump people, if you make contact with the head no excuse will get you out of a suspension. They cant be any clearer that they don't want players bumping.

Absolutely spot on whufc!!

It staggers me people that understand footy as much as Dutchy, Booney, etc don't get this :shock:

The vision clearly shows the bump hit Laird in head. End of story. EVERYBODY in the AFL knows this is a one week suspension under the new rules.

End of story, get over it!!

I understand the new rules, if it is a deliberate bump, but as I said in slo-mo its easy to make that call, Cunno was half a step from Laird when he disposed of it, at full speed how is he supposed to do anything else? It was more of a protective measure more than anything which happen's a hundred times in a game of footy.

If that is true then sure Kangaroos will appeal and win.

Unfortunately, I don't see that as a neutral and think they will accept the ban as looks pretty straight forward to me.

Laird was the danger player and he knew it.
Had every intention of taking him out of the game.
Not judging him, its what we're taught.
But you just can't do it anymore.

North a huge chance this week even without Cunnington. Better off giving him a rest ;)
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep

If he wanted to take him out of the game he’d still be concussed now & sporting a broken jaw.
