More importantly, the ball was in the immediate vicinity, not 40 metres away. Fair shepherd that IF anything, would have been a 50m penalty on the day.
hi everyone,
i'm a long time reader and first time poster. i was just so outraged at the news of zacs report that i had to vent my frustration! The MRP is a total farce, how can they book zac for two weeks yet in the same breath clear that west coast bump? it's almost comical! i really hope he appeals the decision, what a joke.
I just went and rewatched the Dawson bump a couple of times.
I am not sure that it is a week but it is not good. The Adelaide player is standing the mark. You can't allow hits on players like that who are just standing the mark.
It brings up all that discussion on players anticipating a hit. I think if you are just standing the mark you should not have to anticipate a hit.
Different kettle of fish if it is a shepherd, but this one is not.

Was that Glass? I thought that one was good watching that game on TV. He ran past the ball, but he didn't collect him high or anything. I haven't seen the Dawson one on replay yet, and I can't remember it from the game, so I can't really comment on that. But if you're talking about the Glass hit on Westhoff, it was very nice.
I must have been watching a different game. I love Zac. He's hard at it, determined and has the guts we need, but he took the guy out off the ball. He was way too late, and it was unesseccary. Just happened to have my eye on him when it happened and said at the time he could be in trouble.
Sorry, just trying to be objective and that's what I saw.
Like I said, I love Zaccy. Hope this doesn't make him rethink how he's been playing. He's been great this year.
Just curious,
HOw hard was Kosi's hit on teh Crow?
Harder than Lewis on Fritter last week that was thrown out by the Tribunal when he challenged the MRP?
I also notice that he was charged with low impact/high contact.
Is there a case to argue that the contact was to the back rather than the head?
lets hypothesis, that both get rubbed out.
max doesn't need to come in, backline is solid, gives him extra time.
we can bring in goose as full foward.
or use McEvoy,
BUT
lake will play on whoever is at FF
not on ROO
so i think its best to take someone down there, that will make him very accountable,
my first thought
BJ.
is the obvious choice for mine.
thoughts?

Zac...must appeal.
Yep!
Contest them both...what have we got to lose???
More points and extra weeks.
Meh. If we can cover Zac this week, we can cover him next week. As for Kosi, he gets reported, or very close to it how many times a year? Challenge it.
