This is one of the most dangerous things I've seen on a football ground at this level.  >:(

Irresponsible, dangerous and entirely deliberate. At with just 4 minutes to go in the game.  :thumbsdown

How many weeks should he get?

I was so pleased Lids was not injured, while Dempsey perpetrated the act, he is only doing what he has been taught.

The AFL, has got this aspect of the game wrong and a rule change to prevent it needs to be investigated and implemented.
It is only a matter of time until an AFL player gets their neck broken.
Dempsey will go for a while but this is not the issue. If a players neck is broken would it be 8 weeks?
The whole act/result also needs to be investigated as well.

What about the trying to drag him up afterwards? That's a second report for rough play, imagine the damage he could've caused had Lids a serious neck injury.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Only a small angle of impact away from Lids being a bloody quadriplegic. 

Dog act and there's no two ways about it.

What'd Taylor Walker get for the similar one on Steve Morris?

This would even get you rubbed out in the NRL. The double action was completely unnecessary and Dempsey was very lucky he didn't cause Deledio any serious injury.

infinitely.

deledio didnt seem too concerned after the game when was chatting with dempsey.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Lids was fortunate enough to be able to bereak his fall with his hand.

If not- He was stuffed.

From memory I reckon Walker had more momentum running into Morris with pace to tackle to then spear tackle him.  Goal posts have shifted more since then though. Tribunal have to refer this and he should get a minimum of 4 at least.

Don't know, maybe the one on Deledio was worse, they were very similar actions. Didn't seem to phase Morris much
