AFL Rd 7 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Lods]

I'm suprised they didn't add an umpire contact charge to TDK for being run into.

I'm guessing they might want to limit the 'exposure' to said umpire.
A performance best not highlighted perhaps.

The dirty pr1ck Larkey actually only gets ONE week. Apparently potentially crippling someone ranks alongside a solid bump.
AFL - Corrupt and incompetent governing body that is ripping the fabric of the game apart.

You’re right.  And they are never wrong in situation whether it be a new umpiring rule or tribunal decisions etc. That’s part of the problem they won’t change because they would have to admit they made an error and that’s not going to happen.

Larkeys suspension of just 1 week is laughable and a complete contradiction on all levels of them trying rule out serious head injuries. Young could have easily landed on his head or neck in that act and not out of the question to even end up in a wheelchair.

Disgraceful and watch the media say stuff all.

By the same logic, i think it was her who paid a free kick for 'high contact' for the Young incident despite not hitting him high (as evidenced by the charge which said contact was to the body.

But i guess you don't get that backstory from the replay, so less obvious of the umpiring error.

Was at the game and one thing that looked odd at the time was when every player on the field ran up to newnes when he kicked the goal in the 3rd.

Every the backs ran the full length of the ground and he didn’t even celebrate. There looked to be a lot of love for him for reasons I don’t know but maybe he is a loved team mate or there is something happening behind the scenes with him.

Or maybe I’m just over thinking it!!

The tunneling penalty confirms the league do not put player safety first.
What a joke.

[Baggers]

The charge against Young includes that he failed to exercise a duty of care to Zurhaar.

What the charge is failing to understand is that Zurhaar also has a duty of care to himself. He knew (or should) if he continued to charge at the aggot as vigorously as he did and with Young standing where he was, that, he (Zurhaar) was in fact contributing in no small manner to his own endangerment. Are players who are about to be kamikazed by someone ignoring of their own safety expected to be responsible for such carelessness; to do their utmost to get out of the way of the kamikaze act?

If you have poor regard for your own well-being does it then become the responsibility of the person you're going to recklessly career into?

In basketball Zurhaar would have received a call for a charge and picked up a foul, funny how two different sports see the incident differently. A player is entitled to hold his ground and brace for contact IMHO the same as in basketball and should be entitled to protection. The problem was Young is a bigger human and Zurhaar came off second best so Young gets punished...wrong IMO.
Interesting Zurhaar was the one who came in to pull Young off Larkey after the latter tunneled our man and then threw Young to the ground. Karma for that schmuck Zurhaar IMO and highlight of the game for me.....Young has gone way up in my estimations and happy to have him on the list.

Oh gerard Healy was very anti Carlton on the commentary.  Was surprised to hear him call stuff that one way.  He's usually pretty good.

Healy was terrible, as you said anti Carlton all night and it was so obvious. The rest of the Fox team wasn't any better Sat night.

[Gointocarlton]

Every fking time. Surely we challenge the Young one. The dirty pr1ck Larkey has to get 3 weeks if you base it on stocker and young’s suspensions.

Joke Afl.

Tunnelling is not a reportable/suspendible offence.

Tunnelling is not a reportable/suspendible offence.

I take that back, Larkey has been suspended.
