We were discussing it at the game

Makes you wonder what he would be like as player if he had come through the draft as a teenager?

How much better could be?

Oh please! It was a solid shepherd for a teammate within 5m of the ball so Moore would've/should've been expecting such contact. Moore wasn't hurt nor concussed either as he got straight up and played out the rest of the game. No Hawthorn player remonstrated with Pickett so they all thought it was all above board and the ump didn't pay a free so the ump didn't think it was high either.

So typical of the MRO and it's roulette wheel make it up as they go decision making. Rowbottom shirtfronts Merrett high when Merrett wouldn't be expecting such contact and somehow Rowbottom gets the same penalty as Pickett's shepherd  ::).

The Club has to appeal this. Utter rubbish decision from the MRO. A shepherd is a standard football act.

The umpires & MRO miss lots of things, but they make sure never to miss 'Marked Man Marlion'!     :P

I think they should challenge.

Ball very close, elbow tucked it, good shepherd. No injury at all so why is he being done for a week? I thought Lynch was more likely to get done...

At what point do these routine football incidents just get assessed as normal football plays and potentially just a missed free kick.

The bump is not careless or reckless. It was in play, not an unreasonable action considering his entitlement to bump / shepherd the player.

I watched an media interview where a well known Journo said he should be in trouble because he ran past the ball. Totally ignorant statement. He isn’t obliged to play the ball if another team mate is in a better position to play it and it is within the rules to shepherd.

i havent watched the footage yet, only going off SEN this morning (Gary & Bucks) who watched after lots of calls and messages.

They both agreed his shoulder hit the head, so who knows.

It was on the other side of the ground to where i was sitting and on the radio they were saying he was lucky that the Hawks player came back on.

Id like to see us appeal too, its a football action.

He wasnt down over the footy.

On top of this for Marlon to miss dreamtime will hurt too, especially as he designed the jumper.

Rightly so too. Well done to the Club for appealing. It was a football act (a shepherd within 5m of the ball) and no one got hurt. The ump didn't pay a free for too high and no Hawk player including Moore remonstrated. No one had an issue with it. A totally ridiculous decision by the MRO.

I hope the appeal succeeds. He does not deserved to be suspended for that.

This is the vision Michael Christian used to determine Pickett’s one-match ban for rough conduct. It was graded as careless, medium impact and high contact. Dylan Moore played on but under new guidelines high bumps draw medium impact despite the actual physical impact being low.

There actually is [head contact] if you slow it down. Got him flush
