Haha, this is comical. New vision comes out which proves Rampe was just defending and it was McNeil's fault. It's the same vision, he b-lines straight for McNeil, takes him out of play and continues. He didn't mean to inflict the damage, sure, but he chose to put a hard block and one of our players is now suffering from concussion. It's laughable. Hopefully McNeil apologises to Rampe.
The Dogs should be able to appeal.
So comical.
You can run into a player off the ball, concuss them and no penalty, yet if you tackle a player with the ball who won't let the ball go and free there arm to brace a fall, but instead prefer to be taken down and get concussed and you cop a 1 or 2 week penalty.
So as I understand it, the AFL's tribunal has ruled that picking off a player behind play is now perfectly legal as long as the player being hit slightly deviates off a straight line.
Barry Hall, Dermot Brereton, David Rhys Jones and other thugs and snipers would have loved this.
This is pretty niche content but apropos of the league okaying blokes nowhere near the contest being concussed the coronial inquest into the death of Shane Tuck starts today and anyone interested can view proceedings via this link which'll first ask you to download an app called Webex to tune in.
Am told counsel assisting will give the opening address from 3:00 - 5 PM then the broadcast will resume at 8:00 PM to hear an American expert give evidence on CTE management.
Imagine the AFEL will be particularly keen observers here ...
We get absolutely shafted in the current system.
Luke Beveridge said a lot by saying nothing in todays press conference; other than I will refain as I will get into a lot of trouble otherwise!
I see Touk Miller has been cleared from the complaint of attacking Dayne Zorko's groin area.
At least the NRL suspended John 'Stink Fist' Hopoate for his repeated efforts.
Apparently interim Suns coach Stephen King nominated Zorko as a dangerous Brisbane Lions player before the game and as a leader Touk Miller decided to take matters into his own hands.
