Naughts MRP verdict. Is he in trouble?

[1eyedog]

What do you make of it? How could Naughts possibly avoid contact? Lachie Whitfield basically threw his head against Naughts' shoulder.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

No.

I think I'll stop watching football if he gets a week.

[AndrewP6]

If he gets anything more than a reprimand for that, the game is cooked.

[Axe Man]

If you are no longer allowed to run straight at the ball then I give up.

[jazzadogs]

Tom Browne reckons 2 weeks - good grief.

He ran in a straight line at the ball, couldn't safely bend down to pick it up without being cleaned up himself, kicked it along the ground basically at the point of contact, as Whitfield just popped his head into the line of a raging bull.

Tom Browne would probably like to retrospectively suspend Zaine Cordy for kneeing Callan Ward in the jaw in 2016.

There is legitimately no argument for him to be suspended. It was incidental contact within a game of football, which unfortunately resulted in a player being concussed.

[Murphy'sLore]

These verdicts must be based on INTENT rather than result. How many times do we have to go through this bullshit because the AFL don't understand basic logic or legal principles.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

IF he gets rubbed out the game's rules have become ungovernable.
He ran in a straight line at and to the ball; never deviating his line.
Whitfield chose to intervene, head down and exposed.
Naughts, kept his elbow and shoulder in, tucked it, to protect himself. He is allowed to do that.
Whitfield ran into Naught's.

[Axe Man]

2 people that have played the game at the highest level in Duck and Daisy - no case to answer.

Tom probably never even played auskick Browne - 2 weeks.

So probably a life ban.

And how about sticking up for us Cooney?

[G-Mo77]

No, no he's not.

[Hotdog60]

If he gets any sort of suspension out of that I hope we take it to court.

I couldn't believe that idiot Browne saying that.

If Naughton gets a week, the club should challenge the decision in the highest possible way.
As Daisey said, you cant stop every concussion in the game, it is going to happen.

[Dry Rot]

I couldn't believe that idiot Browne saying that.

The more I see of Browne, I'd rather have a beer with Toby Greene.

[MrMahatma]

Will get 1 Brownlow vote for this match

[The Bulldogs Bite]

The more I see of Browne, I'd rather have a beer with Toby Greene.

Good call. I can't stand Browne. Awkward, big noting fool with limited knowledge of the game

[jeemak]

So the little *!*!*!*!ing weasel is Tom Browne. Who the *!*!*!*! does he appeal to, literally?

Naughton is going to get a week. Only because he tucked his arm and didn't send himself into a facial ruin which for some reason is the only thing in the world of AFL that would get him off.

Just bank it troops. Hopefully Josh Schache is fit enough to play.
