How many weeks for the guy who bumped Higgins? Remember what Paddy was told. If you chose to bump

To be honest, I hope zero as I hoped zero for Paddy. Poor Higgo has an issue there and I really hope his future, short & long term isn't impacted.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
I'd like the rule to be zero also. But it doesn't change the fact that Ryder got two weeks for it. I think we are entitled to a little consistency. The AFL says that if you choose to bump and cause a concussion then be prepared for the consequences.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Sat 14 May 2022 8:54pmTo be honest, I hope zero as I hoped zero for Paddy.

Edit: Ratts said at his press conference, that the bump in concern was not what caused the concussion. It's an effort not to get the Geelong player in strife I suspect. The same player slung Steele into the ground and hurt his shoulder

What about possible symptoms that mean Higgins gets subbed off next game????

If there's any consistency and a not playing the footy cause/effect = concussion then Kolo and Rowbottom both 2 weeks. Of course subject to the MRP-lotto.

Bews is out this week for a concussion he received against the Giants. The player involved didn't get weeks.
Wildly inconsistent.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
If Paddy got two weeks for bracing for a bump, then Tom Stewart should have got 6 weeks.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!
6 weeks for the bump
1 week for shameless lie about contrition
1 week for arguing 3.8 seconds is not long enough to decide not to over run the ball and smash the guy high.
1 week for wearing a headband
1 week for being in the team that smashed Jack Steele's shoulder with unnecessary force
1 week for continuing to be a penitent after the case was decided.
