Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
Thinking like for like players.....
Out: Vander (waiting for opportunity to say “Vander and Young” - not arisen yet though), Smith and Crozier
In: Hayes, Porter (reckon Bevo might let him debut), Butler or La Young
Would love Weightman or Greene to have a go but Westy and Dale doing too well
If Jong does not recover then Butler and La Young

There is a profile element in every MRO decision.

I can't see where we really have anything to challenge.
Really? Burgoyne exhibit A
Exibit B would have to be the fact that the north player has both hands free and chose to hang onto the ball instead of protecting his own head.
That's our case but I doubt we challenge (we never do) if we do we won't be successful because we are the Western Bulldogs.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
Is the Burgoyne case relevant since they changed the rules?
Not exactly sure what rules have been changed.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
I think what’s classified as a sling and what isn’t needs to be clarified
There’s to many grey areas
He was tackled while hatching the ball and didn’t have his arms pinned
All in one motion
Surely two motions are a sling

Burgoyne case is of no precedent value, because the AFL have already stated it was wrong and tightened the rules.
Burgoyne also benefited from the Profile player discount.
We also need to acknowledge that the onus is on the tackler and the North player did hit his head on the ground.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
So what happens when a player tackled pops a shoulder when tackled into
The ground ? There’s way to many grey areas here .

It’s a tackle contact sport
This is going to happen

The onus needs to be on the player being tackled to protect himself as well.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
He wasn’t slung , I guess that’s the point
It was in the tackle while he had the ball .
Players will hold on and brace for the tackle as they know they get some leverage
So where does this leave any tackle that results in injury

Forgot Hunter - in straight away instead of Hayes.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Vs Carlton Round 6 2020
I think we need to seriously consider Trengove this week. I know the defence has been functioning very well - but I think Carlton's very tall forward line should mean we consider having JT come in.
Hopefully the 8 day break enables a few of the sore or concussed players recover in time. But I'm sure we will also be considering the short break afterwards before the Essendon match.

I'm as concerned about the likes of Martin and Betts in their forward line

Crozier's 1 week ban must be challenged, nothing in it. A long time ago some wanker cost Chris Grant a Brownlow, a relative of that wanker is obviously still around the AFL ranks.

Bevo mentioned him in his press conference after the game. Said he played well in the scratch match.

Is Trengrove a possible in to play on Levi Casboult?
