The 'Bump' on Fisher

[degruch]

Davis's original intent was to contest the mark but when he realised he wasn't going to make it he took his eyes off the ball, curled up and went for the bump.

His shoulder clearly hit Fisher in the head concussing him.

But no doubt, seeing that he is a Collingwood player and Collingwood is responsible for the largest gates and TV viewing audiences, the match review panel will rule it as only minor impact and thus not reportable.

All happened in about 0.003 seconds, how could there have been intent? Both going for the ball, nothing in it.

Head high contact however caused has always a free kick in the AFL but then Plugger needs to defend his umpires incompetence with his own.

Just defending a contest. Do you get a sore neck at every game looking behind you. Why isnt it a free to Davis because for the same reason it wasnt to Fisher. Both going for the ball and clashed heads. Fisher came off worse. Who should have got the free when Goose and that Richmond player hit heads a few years ago. No one. An accident.

Clashed heads?
I obviously need a new television set.
Mine clearly shows Davis shoulder contacting Fisher's head.

and plugger, you might consider changing 'the sore neck' line - I think it's gone past its use-by date.

Well shoulder then. They both went for a contest. No free. I will give up on the sore neck the very day you dont think the world is against us and you actually watch things through 2 eyes. It is amazing what you can see with both.

Given that I only asked the question if it was a free kick and didn't make a statement about it, I'm not sure what you're on about today?
Too much cover-up work for you for the AFL after last night.
Can you let us in on the timetable for the Malthouse sledge whitewash?


And if it's only an incident of accidental contact with them both going for a contest, can you please explain to me why free kicks are paid for accidental pushes in the back in a marking contest?
Are they simply 'just a mistake'?

I really cant be bothered if you honestly think there should be a free for that then you shouldnt watch footy. Actually maybe you watch the game through no eyes.

The frame rate on Australian television broadcast is 25 frames per second.
That means that each frame is 0.04 seconds apart.

You might like to take your millisecond time piece in for repair.

Maybe you should try looking with one eye Plugger then you wont be as embarrassed as you must be for looking with none.
