I think the AFL have created a monster. A player gets hit in the head = must be reportable. The club takes the matter to tribunal because the act itself isn't dangerous and gets off.
What's the AFL's actual stance on the head being sacrosanct? If it's that a player gets hit in the head, it's reportable, then fix the rules so that the tribunal has no option but to suspend the player. Till then, we'll have this grey area.

Goodbye to the most exciting part of our game if that happens, how many players cop a knee to the head when a player launches for a specky.
The Lynch one was nothing more then a footy incident, I reckon I heard the commentators mention the head clash between Bews and Nash will need to be looked at, FFS.
Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

I think the issue lies in the fact the punishment is far more weighted against the outcome than the action. (i guess that is reflective of the legal system but not sure it works as well in a sports sense)
In the McKay incident, there wasn't a lot of damage done but that action imo was very dangerous and somewhat a non-footballing action. It wasn't a bump (tucked in elbow) , wasn't a tackle it was a raised arm/elbow.

Why didn't he just spoil the ball off the boot? He had the time. But his eyes were on cheezels and intention was to take the body.

Normally I'd respond with "he's a ruckman" and whilst close, he's not. He's a forward, and clearly they don't think defensively.

Good merch, not sure I like it as a guernsey. My OCD doesn't allow anything that's not symmetrical to please my eye.

A little strange to wear predominantly navy blue when playing Carlton?

Not if you know you're the home team.

Re: AFL Round 4
Baffling that McKay gets off for a late hit elbows to the head, yet if he chose to bump and gets him high then he gets a week or two

I think that's the artists original design that the club has duly paid him for, it's Adidas on the front and I think the back is just plain with gold numbers, the one Sloane had on 360 last night didn't have that shit on it.

Re: AFL Round 4
The front is good - if a little navy considering they're playing Carlton.
The back gives Harlem Globetrotters vibes, but not in a good way.
