Kosi 2 weeks
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
I am sorry but Kosi was standing still with Duncan coming back in to him. Duncan was turning and spinning dictating the direction of the Kosi tackle. Kosi expected a full frontal tackle bringing Duncan down on on top of him. It was Duncan's evasion in the tackle that caused the tackle to be out of Kosi's control.

afl is not the aussie rules we grew up with and know and love.
sanitised to the point i barely care about the game.
just sad.
soccer is the most popular game in the world, and no doubt the afl are trimming the difference in relation to hardness in some form of misplaced fear.
i miss aussie rules. the afl is trusting our loyalty to our clubs, and trying to attract new support. ef them.
enjoy where the game is headed plugger - gaelic football with a sherrin.

I've heard doctors state that there is no varying degree of concussion that can be seen immediately after impact. You are either concussed or not.
I've also heard them state that no matter what, if a player is concussed they will not be allowed to continue, reasoning being that their health takes priority.
So what sort of medical report made the difference? If he was concussed, why was he on the field later on, kicking goals? Or were Geelong ignoring that rule?

The game is losing me.
Heard Greg Baum on SEN this morning waxing lyrical about how tackles like this need to be taken from the game.
Give me a break. What a load of twaddle.

Before we all go off wanting to challenge the Kosi suspension we need to have a counter arguement to what the MRP found. If we try and fail Kosi gets 3 instead of 2 and the club is (my estimate) $5-7K out of pocket with the QC and the AFL bond. I say cop the 2 weeks and put the $5-7K into a development program for the players !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Corey's was far worse than Kosi's. Perhaps there should be less emphasis on the injury sustained and more on the potential for injury.
After all, Attempted Murder is a far more serious crime than Assault, even though the latter may on occasions leave the victim worse off.
A player, or a crim, should not benefit simply from the good fortune that their actions failed to achieve maximum damage.Â

Totally agree, Corey lifted, yes lifted ala spear tackle, and dictated where Steven was going to fall.Dr Spaceman wrote:Corey's was far worse than Kosi's. Perhaps there should be less emphasis on the injury sustained and more on the potential for injury.

This is spot on. was listening to mmm on the way home and the bloke in the rooms (i think Michael Roberts) was saying that Duncan was concussed, however the cats decided to ignore the rules b/c of player rotations.python wrote:I've heard doctors state that there is no varying degree of concussion that can be seen immediately after impact.

How they can blatantly do that without any type of sanction is bewildering to say the least. If this is the precedent, then players being banned from playing on concussed was just a fad the AFL introduced for a few weeks to make all the right sounds for the AMA. Either that or he wasn't concussed and Kosi was dudded. Which was it?

The whole thing is a joke. I am going to potter around in the garden and visit family for the rest of the season. They can stick the game for all I care. Straw that broke the camels back. Don't care anymore, the game does not make sense.

The AFL is losing me as a fan. How much more rubbish does the average footy fan have to put up with?
Despite my team being horrid for most of my liftetime (South Adel) give me the toughness and traditional nature of the SANFL any day (although even that is changing more and more

See where you're coming from, thought the same at first, but seeing as this season is just about dusted, don't think it makes much difference. Just challenge on principle.plugger66 wrote:No point in challenging. Will not get off. Just take the 2 weeks which he will do.

On what grounds? (serious question). Don't get me wrong. If we have a serious chance we should go for it but I don't see that we can put up a good enough arguement !!Bernard Shakey wrote:I hope we challenge.

The ironic thing here is that had Duncan had prior opportunity he would have gone for holding the ball. As it was, the result was a ball-up.
Didn't sling. Didn't drive him into the ground. Dead set stiff and should challenge on principal. But ditch the dud we've had pleading our cases prior to this otherwise we have no chance.

The irony is that Kosi played pretty well on Saturday and had he been paid the free kicks he so thoroughly deserved from the molestation he received at the hands of Scarlett, he would've kicked five.CURLY wrote:Hes being a smart arse.

Poor old Kosi - boned on Saturday night by Scarlett and the umpires, boned on Monday by the MRP and the Geelong doctor. I'm really beginning to despise this game.
