Apparently so long as you "know everything... to the letter of the law" and "took the safest option" you're in the clear. Even if you pin both ams and you deliberately bring your opponent to the ground, and their head hits the turf.
Go figure. I have no idea of "what" the AFL rules, only "who"

No it wasn't knee on knee. Chugga's leg got pinned and his knee was bent inwards; classic medial ligament scenario.

Hopefully it won't be as serious as last season's high-grade MCL injury.

A fairly predictable win even if Richmond stuck with us a little longer than I expected.
The umpiring was puzzling, even when the decisions went our way. For example, Ollie Hollands was collected high after he kicked the ball and even though we marked his kick outside defensive 50, the ball was brought back to the goals for Hollands to take the free.
Rucklotto was in full swing, although the pendulum was firmly in Richmond's favour. Nank rucked well but I think that Pitto was confused by the calls that went against him and Nank's holds and blocks that went unpunished. It's hard to see how a bloke who rucks most of the game against a very physical opponent isn't given at least one free.
Charlie seemed to have a couple of players hanging off him every time he went near the ball and he didn't win a single free kick. I can't help but wonder if the umpies were told to lay off after his four frees last week and the media bleating about us scoring goals from frees. Even though it was a quiet game from Charlie, you can't help but think that he's about to cut loose and I was momentarily disappointed that he was put on ice in the last quarter. Harry had another big game around the ground and his work helps our transition immensely. Zac Williams as CHF when Harry goes into the ruck is interesting :
It was good to see Raz finally get his goal kicking mojo back. They were all shots that he would have made at his best but not on his form this season. His work rate has been good and he's been an adequate replacement for Cotters but kicking goals should be his bread and butter.
Cerra back in the side was great even if it meant that Georgie was on the pine for three quarters. It's a luxury to be able sub on a player of his ability.
Sam Walsh scoring multiple goals was great. He has only kicked five for the season after managing just six last year. Midfielders who score goals are gold and I think there's a determination, both from Sam and the team, to create more opportunities to score.
I'm always worried when we take the opposition lightly and going in without De Koning set the alarm bells off. Pitto was serviceable though and our midfield negated Nank's ruck dominance. Pitto matched him around the ground, particularly if you discount the goal Nank was gifted for an imaginary ruck infringement.
The only downer was Chugga's knee. Let's hope it's not too bad.

is there any chance we can give Weitering a rest and my only concern was our slow ball movement from defence

Coaches' votes :
10 Patrick Cripps (CARL)
8 Sam Walsh (CARL)
6 Nicholas Newman (CARL)
2 Adam Saad (CARL)
2 Blake Acres (CARL)
1 Elijah Hollands (CARL)
1 Ben Miller (RICH)
It's good to see some of the role player types getting positive attention from supporters and coaches alike : Acres, Elijah Hollands, Newman and others all very astute pickups that did not cost the earth. Well done CFC.

Weitering has played in 12 games this season. 10 of those games he has 100% time on ground. One game was 96% ToG, the other 99%. These numbers are from the AFL website, which I hope are more reliable than some of their stats, like the Telstra Tracker, which can be glitchy.
Whilst my focus was on Weitering, I did casually notice that there a number of CFC and opposition players that have mid-high 90's% time on ground. Kemp, Harry McKay, Curnow are regularly around this range.

Thats why you don't listen to the radio.
It was highlighted on tv exactly where it happened and how it happened and it had nothing to do with the ruck.

Jordan Boyd offered a 1 match ban.
