Pre game Premonitions: AFL 2021 Rd 14: Carlton vs GWS

[Thryleon]

Everyone is on notice, the game will change again forever at the tribunal for Mackay case on Thurs night. I notice a high number of dangerous tackles paid this weekend even though the player being tackled bounced up uninjured. Contact and roughness of any sort will slowly be outlawed from the game. Both Scott and Goodwin said as much on 360 last night, they are already coaching it into their players. Teague doesnt have to worry about this with our blokes in general.

I think we are already coaching for that style.  Ive noticed that we wrap blokes up in the tackle and dont necessarily take them to ground.

I think its a misnomer, because you still see stacks on.  I noticed one WC vs Richmond on Sunday where Darling had his leg trapped, and was forced backwards.

That was more dangerous than a lot of the heavy dumps, but they had more scope to cause head hits...
