I’m a bit torn with the faking for a free kick incident. Imagine if that free kick dictated whether or not a team got into finals or a prelim? Players would 100% take the fine and pay it with a smile. Though a suspension seems extreme. Not sure what the answer is

Joey tipping against Hawks, no surprise there

If the tackling player has to consider in fractions of seconds how to tackle including how many arms are pinged, then the tackled player should have to consider how they land including head control.

Danger dropped his weight whole weight to drag Merit to the ground. That was very danger-ous and contrary to a reasonable duty of care.

at the end, make it a bit more serious for the tips, all sort of forcing laughter tensed up during that part lol

The only solution I see is don't bring people down in a tackle, just hug them, that's where we are heading, no hip and shoulders, no tackles to the ground 😢

It didn’t look good, he should have got at least a week………

The doctors and coaches that allowed Petracca back on to the ground should be brought to account. Damo is correct - it was obvious he was very badly injured straight away.

Who is that tool?

Que? Daisy..no idea how serious? Que? He could have died!! Oh and here's a thought. North Melbourne shoukd gave been awarded a goal or half a goal.over thst stuff up or a redine free kick. That mistake was a pure balls up. Where's that maggot who needs an eye test?

Dangerfield getting of is ridiculous , no wonder players are confused and supporters think the system is a joke ! They said the rule was if you pin both arms it's a suspension , but because of the position he holds in the association he gets off. Fake a head knock , get pulled off for the 20 minute concussion test .

If players didnt try to beat the tackle then none of them would be getting hurt at all. The golden rule used to be 'don't get caught'' so if you were red hot, as Walsh was, you wouldn't even try to pick it up, you would knock it to advantage and then follow up ... but today players know 90% of the time, the umpire wont ping them, so they have been going into the tackle attempting to break it, confident that usually, the worst that happens is a ball up. Unfortunately, according to the law of unforeseen circumstances, a lot of them are now getting KO'd in the tackle. Theres an easy solution, if you Dont want to get Knocked out...don't get caught. The duty of care TO YOURSELF is greater than the tacklers duty to you. Mind you, None of this would have happened if the umpires just paid holding the ball the way they are supposed to...Walsh had prior, he chose not to take it, so he assumes responsibility for everything that happens after that.

Daisy Thomas shouldn’t be allowed to talk about anything related to Essendon! He Never ever has anything positive to say about them and the times he does there’s always a but…

So arms pinned head hits ground no longer a suspension hope all clubs keep that vision what joke looking like afl fixing games again watch for free kicks and momentum stoppers against the bombers
