    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.

    Is the Burgoyne case relevant since they changed the rules?

    Not exactly sure what rules have been changed.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.
