Not sure these days why you would go the bump on an opponent who is already pinned in a tackle :huh3. SPP is looking at 4-6 weeks for that.

Simple really, SPP is an idiot

The new AFL tribunal tweak that gives SPP a chance to serve a week of any potential suspension in next week's community series game. Suspension rests on whether he braces for inevitable contact or elects to bump. I think it's the latter. The details here: https://t.co/t9SU1CIysj

Sam Powell-Pepper is set to miss at least the opening three games of the premiership season after being sent straight to the Tribunal for a bump on Mark Keane in Friday's match simulation against Adelaide.
The Match Review Officer (MRO) has graded the incident as careless, severe impact and high contact and has recommended a ban of at least three weeks.

lmao - the game is soft as butter now but the sad reality is the comp's about to be bankrupted by a class action and they're still handing out peeweak suspensions....:shh
-
What I'd like to know is why Willie Rioli hasn't been cited as well?
He contributed to this incident and after SPP had collected Keane, Rioli has completed a sling tackle. So IMHO he should be cited as well
-
SPP ended up getting 4 weeks btw.
-----
After a 90-minute deliberation period, the Tribunal found a sanction of four matches to be appropriate.
“We do not accept that the conduct involved minimal culpability,” Tribunal chair Renee Enbom explained.
“Powell-Pepper ran to Keane, who was in the process of being tackled. We accept he was seeking to assist with the tackle. We don’t accept Keane moved in such a way when being tackled by Rioli that Powell-Pepper could not have reasonably anticipated the movement.
“As contact was about to occur, Powell-Pepper altered the position of his right shoulder and with his right arm tucked in made heavy and high contact with Keane.
“Even if the shoulder movement was a reflex action, that fact does not mean that the conduct as a whole involved minimal capability.
“We consider Powell-Pepper’s conduct to have been very careless. He ran at speed towards a tackle that was occurring.
“If he didn’t anticipate that the tackled player would be moving in the tackle, he should’ve reasonably anticipated that.
“He had a duty to take reasonable care to avoid head high contact when seeking to assist in a tackle. He did not take any steps to avoid the contact that ultimately occurred.
“Even if we accept the shoulder movement was a reflex action, the reflex action occurred because he ran at speed at a player who was already being tackled. Powell-Pepper took no steps to avoid high contact with the player being tackled. In all of those circumstances we consider four weeks to be an appropriate sanction.”

Him getting 4 means the game as we knew it is dead
Absolute joke

Jy Simpkin has left the field following this bump from Jimmy Webster.
https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1764137364513820816
This is straight out of the 70s/80s/90s. Some in the footy media (David King) claiming Webster should get 10 weeks.
-
He'll get 3-4 but should be 5-6+
-
He'll get 3-4 but should be 5-6+
10 being quoted in the media is ridiculous
Reckon should be 5-6 like you said
Stewart copped 4 for similar
The world gets softer by the year
5-6 makes sense
-
SPP yelled at the tellie this arvo and said "Hold my beer"
-
AFL asking for 8 weeks at the Tribunal hearing.
-
Webster has been banned for 7 matches.

You are problem right
If this pelican did his two years ago, would have been 3-4
Stewart did it now 6-8
If someone bumps like this in 10 years time , probably a life ban .. or 12 months in prison
World is stuffed

So we and Carlton got bumped for a low scoring slog to start the season.
ps. Only one game but Melbourne won't be making the Eight if they dish up for most of the year what they showed tonight. Without Gawn dominating and giving first use to the Dees' mids and Lever tagged and not being allowed to intercept, the Dees had nothing.
Hope Nank and Naismith were watching Grundy use the new ruck rule at centrebounces run across the centreline to stop the opposition ruck (Gawn tonight) from getting a run and jump at the ball.

Yeah, these things happen. That is, we all suffer from foot in mouth disease sooner or later.
My take on it is - both sides got belted by 8 goals at different times during the match, but one of them had to win it ... :snidegrin

Are they Damo? Or do they have a youthful list that is now able to apply elite pressure ?
if u can't execute basic pressure to an elite level then you might as well just finish last because you ain't winning the flag.
Lions folded like a deck of cards.

Sadly the Blues are going to be hard to stop this year :chuck but Freo massively choked in that last 3 mins. Yeah the umps once again helped the baggers get over the line ::) but still all Freo had to do was not fall to pieces and not drop sitters and it would've been game over.

Freo losses are good for us even if it's at the hands of the Scumbagger anointed premiers.... :shh

finlayson what a media build up. Koch is right
that bombers player is just an example of how pathetic that club is. He sounded like he was about to cry for his mate being called a fgt

Absolutely Dio. He would be better off having lines of coke pre game then telling us he has been withdrawn cause of some mystery illness.. Wild.
Did you hear Langford? Never heard a bigger flog in my life. Same goes with Jabba the hut. He should have said nothing at three quarter time and the result would be the same.
left hypocrites in full swing here.
Damo the word was Fgt. A good friend of mine is a mad port fan and that what he told me. I haven't heard it myself. On that basis he should get 10 weeks or life. No wonder this generation is a bunch of soft stuffs.
-
Put him in the big house and throw away the key
And as for Langford, cheers for the input champ .. how about keeping your mouth shut
Imagine the stresses in Finlayson’s private life ffs .. from all accounts he’s meant to be an absolute top bloke .. and he’s being treated like a monster for saying a derogatory word
Thank goodness there wasn’t microphones when I was opening the batting or fielding at second slip .. all hell would have broken loose

Fancy three weeks for letting a word slip .. wonder if the player or Langford are actually (insert politically correct word for a man that likes other men)

Fair chance to your last point.

No suspension for Clarko who has a long record of abusive behaviour but 3 weeks for the exact same thing for a player who has never been cited for anything like it before.
Amazing.
We need to applaud how strong and brave the AFL are

if you wonder why dusty hates talking to any of these dogs, well here is your answer.

You're correct Frankie The Age in their report about Finlayson's 3 match suspension says he used the word and I'm posting it as it appears in their report "F----t"
I am not condoning what he said but the bloke has been hung out to dry here by the AFL
Clarke got away with his comments...
They've set their precedent now, so the next player who vilifies anyone on the field should be handed at least 6 weeks if not a half season.
But I'm sure the next time they will make it up as they go
-
I don't condone it myself but generally feel that whatever is said on the field should stay there and the players can sort it between themselves.
If an oppo vilifies your mate, try to take him out legally or cop a suspension.

AFLPA angry as gap between sanctions for Finlayson, Clarkson explained
The AFL Players’ Association has reacted angrily over Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson’s three-week suspension.
Will Faulkner and Max Laughton
April 11, 2024
“We believe the AFL is consistently inconsistent and there are double standards in its approach to dealing with players compared to others on behavioural matters,” AFLPA boss Paul Marsh said in a statement.
“This issue highlights the lack of clarity on how the AFL handles these situations and we want this to be the catalyst for an urgent review of the sanctioning framework.
“If this type of conduct is a three-week sanction for a player, it should be for everyone involved in the game and this should be clear to everyone in the industry upfront rather than the open-ended approach that is currently in place.”
The Herald Sun’s Lauren Wood, speaking on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle, explained what the AFL saw as the difference between the Clarkson and Finlayson slurs.
“First things first is the actual slur that was used, the actual word. Clarkson’s was probably not considered by those who were investigating to be as openly homophobic, whereas Finlayson’s was incredibly pointed, incredibly cutting, total no-go zone,” she said.
“Then they looked at the provocation. Finlayson was basically unprovoked, Clarkson’s situation, the environment was highly charged, he had St Kilda players coming at him (after the Jimmy Webster bump), he was going back at them.”
But she added, suggesting the league regretted not suspending Clarkson: “It’s safe to say at the moment the differences wouldn’t be as vast if the AFL had its time again.”

Ah the old "this word is slightly worse than the other and the guy with the record of abuse used the other word so let's throw the book at the decent bloke because it wasn't an emotionally charged situation" yes that old chestnut.
-
I heard Finlayson was being abused before he retaliated?
Clarkson has a clear history of going on the attack. Finlayson simply doesn't.

Exactly.
AFLPA is 100% right for asking the AFL to explain themselves.
Genuinely corrupt organisation.

Port Adelaide weak as pee here. You obviously don't want to be condoning what was said but some more public support for a genuine good guy dealing with a lot in his personal life wouldn't go astray

They tried before the decision was given
But Koch did it that poorly, it probably caused the AFL to tack on an extra week
-
i have no issue with Koch said. The issue is those corrupt POS, umps and those losers at Bombers for tearing up.
I dont even blame Clarko.
Could this be that bombers and media like Jabba made a much bigger and larger complaint than what the saints did? :shh

Blatant HTB but the Crows only have themselves to blame when they dropped sitter after sitter. Adelaide still suffering from 2017-itis.
ps. There was a pretty similar non-call in front of our goal when we played the Swans at the SCG in 2022. The game we lost by a kick.
Here's the clip.

Add Port to the flakey list. 5 goals up but then lose by 7 goals. Sadly, the Pies have their mojo back.
Gawd I'm dreading a Carlton vs Collingwood GF :help given the interstate teams' poor record at the 'G.

Two wrongs don’t make a right
Baker shouldn’t have gone
And Greene DEFINITELY shouldn’t .. he jumped to mark the ball and the reckless (fantastic in a past era) courage of the Carlton player caused the contact
Greene tried to protect himself and his opponent and braced mid air and still made contact with the footy
What is he meant to do?
Football is stuffed if he gets suspended

He probably will go
And it’s a disaster for the game if he does
Been instances of blokes frightened to jump for the footy out of fear of suspension etc , and it will only get worse
The more this happens , the more the game will become the aerial ping pong that the imbeciles in NSW call it
May as well just go to touch footy and be done with it I guess
-
Toby will go, not saying it is right
But based solely on how they are adjudicating these now he will go
Hopefully he will get treated the same way as others have in 2024 and not given a harsher penalty because of who he is ie "the Toby tax"
I wonder what the AFL will do the day a player doesn't brace for contact to protect himself and to a lesser extent his opponent and there are arms, elbow and head clashes going everywhere and both players get knocked out? Who will they blame?

this is why so many people cant stand the way the game is.
If you're going to give blokes weeks then be consistent. As they aren't consistent the whole thing is fos and doesn't wash with me. Every one of these should have been let off.

Toby Greene's appeal tonight failed.
----------------------------------
TRIBUNAL'S FULL REASONS FOR GREENE DECISION
The charge is pressed on two alternative bases. The rough conduct (high bumps) provision and the general rough conduct provision.
Taking the high bumps basis first.
The first question is whether in the bumping of Boyd, Greene caused contact that is at least low impact with Boyd’s head or neck.
This question is expressly conceded by Greene. He admits this was a bump. He admits that in the bumping of Boyd he caused contact that is at least low impact to be made to Boyd’s head or neck.
The next question is whether Greene was contesting the ball, and whether it was not unreasonable to contest the ball in that way.
I have given an instruction to the panel to the effect that, if a player has ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact, and is bracing for impact in circumstances such as this, that player is not contesting the ball.
That only leaves the question of whether Greene had ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact and was instead bracing for impact.
The evidence is that this is what he was doing.
It is also a finding that we could and do make upon closely viewing the video footage.
Prior to impact, Greene had abandoned his attempt to mark the ball and turned his body to brace for impact.
It follows that the exception to the rough conduct (high bumps) provision does not apply and there is no cause to consider whether his conduct was reasonable.
It follows that the charge of rough conduct is made out under the high bumps provision, noting again that Greene admitted this was such a high bump.
There is no need to consider the general rough conduct provision, the charge is upheld.

-
The game's more cooked then Prestia's hammys.... :thumbsdown
-
Greene's reasoning below
"The whole time I thought I was a good chance to take the mark ... at the last moment I realised he was going to touch the ball before me, then I braced for impact," he said.
"If I go in with an open chest, I open myself up to impact. Hence turning my body to protect myself, knowing he was going to get there before me.
"If I go for the mark with my hands out and he tucks in because he's going to take the mark, I'm highly exposed and vulnerable."
His plea fell on deaf ears however, with the tribunal sticking with the MRO decision and suspending Greene for one match. "

What is a viable alternative for Toby to do in this situation, I can only see two; open himself up to being injured or pull out of the contest well before contact on the basis of a probability he may hurt the oncoming player.
The AFL have put themselves in a position that they cant explain and risk the inherent game style of AFL

First time I've seen the vision.
Disgraceful he's suspended.
Basically because someone ran back with the flight into him.
-
I think they should allow the players to look at the other player before hand so they can adjust their run and also put their hands out in front to minimize impact without giving away a free kick.

So much for the putty cats continually whining about not playing all their home games at Kardinia Park :whistle.

Jeromy Cameron's head knock has been ticked off by the AFL, despite the fact that Jeromy is now suffering delayed concussion & is already ruled out of next week's game. There will be no fines or charges layed because the Geelong Doctor attended Cameron & assessed him on the field during play & found no suggestion of concussion. That's one heck of a doctor, even though he turned out to be totally wrong!
So everything is hunky dory & well with the world ... now ...
Its a good thing that we have such cast iron rules around things such as concussion, other clubs have broken those rules & copped massive fines, but Geelong are perfect & obviously a better club than all the rest, so no action will be taken.
So sit back & enjoy the footy, especially if you barrack for the Cats ... ::)

Cameron was clearly stunned lying on the ground for a few seconds after the head knock before he got up. He was also allowed to contest the next stoppage before the doc got to him.

Came within one point of our highest ever score under Halfstep against a side he took 8 seasons to beat....big difference when you're given the keys to a brand new Lamborghini as opposed to having to rebuild a written off SLR from scratch with no access to genuine parts.... :shh

Ideal result - Filth didn't win and Shockers didn't get 4 points.... :shh
-
Collingwood seem to be going well
-
As much I hate the Toffs....we really don't want Freo displaying this kind of form... >:(

Bumblers traditional second half season slide has begun.... :shh
