New video lands Jake King in trouble

MYSTERY surrounded a likely suspension for Richmond forward Jake King after new vision emerged of a sling tackle on Adelaide's Andy Otten.

The AFL told the Herald Sun last night a decision would be released this morning, given the footage came to light after the match review panel released its findings.

But the Tigers were bracing for a possible two-week suspension for King, who has a 50 per cent loading after a host of recent suspensions.

The suspicion from Punt Rd last night was that the vision may have come from an Adelaide camp that felt King should have been cited for the tackle during Richmond's victory on Sunday.

Otten is likely to miss the Round 24 clash with concussion after a head knock late in the game.

The panel did not consider the incident in its initial review, but AFL spokesman Patrick Keane said the panel was still able to consider findings after yesterday's release of the list of suspensions.

"There was some vision that came through late, which they are assessing, but I haven't got a decision yet," Keane said.

Watching Daisy Thomas smash Ibbotson and ponder how can we let him off lightly 

he was very good on sunday esp with his pressure and hardness

His first half was average but his 2nd half was excellent, certainly gave us a spark

Why  ??? 

History says his chances of getting off are buckleys & none and as a club our contesting at the tribunal has been dreadful

I reckon it would of been one of the haters in the media tipping them off who spotted it in a replay.

Adelaide are not only tattle tellers but also fibbers .


"Chairman David Jones giving the background of how this charge came about. Says AFL football operations department was contacted by a club (Adelaide) after the MRP report came out yesterday, asking for explanation about this incident. So there you go. But there was no formal complaint lodged, he says. "

Tribunal counsel Gleeson reading out the medical report from Adelaide. Says Otten was seen to on-field by a trainer, but said he was OK and played on. He then presented with concussion early in the last quarter. He had a number of symptoms and was kept in hospital overnight for observation. But, the doctor's report says, it wasn't certain that the concussion was a result of the incident involving King.

King's advocate Michael Tovey QC is showing footage from the game of the minute or so after the incident. It shows Otten receiving and giving a handpass having run down the ground from where he was tackled by King.

[one-eyed]

It's not in dispute that the contact was high, but the Tigers are disputing that there was sufficient impact to constitute a report. Otten's ability to run up the ground and get involved in play immediately after the incident is their evidence of that.

Jake King won't be giving evidence.

So Richmond's defence has finished. Tribunal counsel Gleeson now speaking. Points out that Otten had disposed of the ball when King slung him to the ground. Says even if King was not aware of that, the tackle was still "inherently dangerous".
