AFL Game Day Round 21, 2017 - Western Bulldogs V GWS Giants

It's in no way 'natural' to stick out your foot when jumping to grab a ball.

This board will be in melt down come 4pm tomorrow when he is issued a fine only.

If you go through the normal process the MRP is suppose to follow it was a careless act with a studded boot, with medium impact to the head. That should lead to 3 weeks down to 2 suspension. He hasn't got a clean record to give him more consideration.

He wasn't protecting himself in a marking contest as it was a handball that he jumped high for and he knew he had to fend off an opponent. He chose to use his studded boot to fend off Dahlhaus and the result lead to a player having to leave the ground with the blood rule. To me it's as clear as a deliberate trip or kicking in danger but made worse because the impact was to a players face.

He has already had 2 fines this year. Doesn't that mean he'll get a week for a third fine like Hodge?

Apparantly Brett Delidio told his brother who then told Kelli who then posted on FB that Toby will be going straight to the tribunal. :)

If the medium becomes low then it becomes a fine. Will be interesting.

I'm not sure how a player leaving the ground with the blood rule can be low impact. It took him a while to clear his head.

You're right though if it's regarded as low impact.

I'd say that it's leaning more to high impact than medium. Greene used Dalh's face to push off to try shift his momentum moving away.

Straight leg? WTF were you watching?

Now do it with deliberate not careless. As you said:

This is a normal action and always straight?

Even Leigh Matthews has said that it would have been a report 30 years ago!

Yep needs to be suspended. I feel like many here do that he did not have to lift his foot.

He chose to jump to receive a handball and then chose to put his foot out. I'd lean towards careless rather then deliberate

I'm off the opinion that the kick was deliberate. Not sure he wanted to kick him in the face but he wanted to use his foot to get a springboard type of impact like when people jump off a wall to get extra height
