Non-Richmond games 2023

Kosi Pickett should get 6+ weeks for his hit on Bailey Smith. A 70s/80s late cheap shot on par with Stewart on Prestia. So, Pickett will probably only get 4 weeks and be back for Anzac Eve.

Port smash Brisbane by 54 points

Kenny out of the media's firing line for this week at least

Fagan has his contract extended, so maybe the media will go after him?

Another repeat performance like that from the Lions and the drums will start beating for Fagan's head contract or not.

JHF had 25 possies, most clearances (7), 3 tackles, 2nd most metres gained (532), 3 assists and a goal for Port today. Yet, Norf wouldn't play him in their wooden spoon side .

1 match you must be effing kidding me

They need to look at action, no result.

That should be 3-4 minimum.

Smith being tough shouldn't work in his favour.

Well Pickett has been offered 2 weeks, not harsh enough but better that 1week ( just)

Dons thrash Hawthorn. So after round 1 sit atop of the ladder. Going to be very long season for the Hawks

Freo lose to the Saints

Interesting round 1

The Match Review Officer graded Pickett's bump as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, leading to the two-game ban.

Buddy copped only a week for his head high bump by the way.

Franklin's bump on Gold Coast defender Sam Collins during the final quarter of the Swans' 49-point victory was adjudged careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, triggering a one-game ban.

The MRO as inconsistent as ever.

Adelaide's Shane McAdam sent straight to the tribunal for his bump on Giant Jacob Wehr.

Careless conduct, severe impact, high contact = 3+ matches and Tribunal.

Clear again that the outcome has to much impact on these decisions

[Andyy]

I thought picketts was worse tbh

[WilliamPowell]

Appears they tweaked the interpretation

Get someone in the head and the require a concussion test and it is automatically considered severe. That's why McAdam goes straight to the tribunal

But think Pickett's was just as bad if not worse, there was no doubt what he was trying to do...coward

[one-eyed]

This sarcastic tweet sums things up. Clear as mud.

Why is every one so confused?

Franklin - Bumps, player is concussed - 1 week

Pickett - Bumps, player isn't assessed, isn't concussed but could have been - 2 weeks

McAdam - Bumps, player is assessed, isn't concussed but could have been - 3 weeks

Easy. #MRO #AFL

McAdam given 3 weeks by the tribunal.

[mightytiges]

Tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson said after the decision: “As for the Pickett example, there appeared to be a slightly more glancing aspect to the impact than occurred here.”

What the ...?! 

[one-eyed]

Breaking: the @Adelaide_FC will appeal the tribunal’s 3 match ban on Shane McAdam. The club is furious with the decision. I believe coach Matthew Nicks is very unhappy and rightly so. They’ll fight it. @9NewsAdel

Only problem is McAdam got him on the chin a bit.

If he'd missed the chin I'd be saying play on.

Bump getting ironed out of the game so much that blokes don't even bother bracing or protecting themselves when going for a loose ball - and I think the game is less interesting because of that.

Protect yourself at all times, ball was in play and within proximity so the option to bump is definitely there just do it cleanly.


Pickett's bump was late = should be the 3 game ban of the week.
