MRP / Trib. Jacob van Rooyen - How many weeks?

[Johnny Karate]

Can we get Cripps’ KC?

 

[Micksy]

El Zilcho.

 

[nutstar]

Unlikely to get anything. Fine at worst.
Arguably was never going to get to the football so could have pulled out… but that’s split second.
Only thing against him is the MRO is a chook raffle.

 

[Tulip]

He didn't touch the ball at all, champ. Even if he did, that doesn't actually change anything because it was a reckless act.

Also your subjective supporter biased viewpoint dies not dictate the severity of the impact. Ballard went off the ground on a stretcher with a neck injury. It will automatically be graded as severe

GAWWWWWN

I appreciate it’s difficult watching the Dees win games, but it might be time to let it go

 

[Beats]

Forceful front on contact. Careless conduct, high contact, high impact = 2 weeks.

Impact could go up to severe because a stretcher was used or down to medium if the players is ok/ stretcher was precautionary due to Ballard hearing a crack.

He was late, quite clumsy and got Ballard high resulting in a neck injury (severity unknown) and precautionary stretcher. He also did get the ball in the action of getting Ballard high and despite taking his eye off the ball he was clearly competing for it. People calling it vicious and saying Van Rooyen lined Ballard up are overstating it. Gold Coast players didn’t even remonstrate in what was a pretty fiery game.

It was a football act, albeit a late and clumsy one with a poor outcome. Given the AFL punishes outcomes more than actions JVR could miss a week or two but it wouldn’t have been looked at a decade ago.

Thanks. Found the footage. Spoil was slightly late but did make some contact with the ball. His arm actually goes over Ballard's head so it was more the head collected on the way through.

I reckon you see at least a few of those per game but without the unlucky injury. Not sure how the AFL can penalise it given without the injury it wouldnt even be a fine.

Unlike dangerous tackles which they have said they are stamping out Im not sure how you stamp out spoils.

 

[schmuttt]

Really hard not to be biased here but surely this is no penalty?

Moved his head in a way that likely pinged the neck more than any concussion/collision type injury.

Bit of a left of centre one really. Not sure there's anything comparable in recent memory.

MRO will be in chook lotto heaven this arvo

Sounds fair. Sign me up.

AFL is trying to appear to protect players heads lately

 

[Mitchell Madness]

He's lucky that rioli clocked someone off the ball so all the focus will have shifted. Will not even get a fine now

 

[TheEscapeClub]

What the heck happened there? Van Rooyen barely touched him, there must have been something there from the earlier hit. I'd have to see another angle if one was available but did VR actually make contact with the area at the back of his head where Ballard was grabbing? It certainly didn't look like it to me.

Ballard had already been passed on a concussion test from an accidental hit with Picketts leg.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Ballard had already been passed on a concussion test from an accidental hit with Picketts leg.

...and? He may have been passed but, cumulative affect of the 2 hits? I'm still struggling to see any substantive contact with the part of Ballard's head that he clutches when he goes down.

 

[schmuttt]

No I agree with you, I struggle to see how the impact from JVR affected the back of his neck unless he already had an existing issue.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Agreed. I think it's more the angle his neck goes on from being pushed across by JVR's arm. Dew said he's been cleared of serious injury and was stretchered off because of a crack he heard in his neck.

It's accidental, not late, in the act of going for the ball, appears not to have caused a serious injury and the GC players basically didn't remonstrate. It's a bloody free kick and move on.

Soft as s**t if he gets any weeks for it.

 

[SSDCrucial]

Ralph says the MRO are set to grade impact as severe. Straight to the tribunal.

G-G-GAAAAAAAAAAWN

 

[SSDCrucial]

You’re going to be very disappointed. He touched the ball, and the actual contact on Ballard wasn’t severe. I’m guessing 1 week if that.

 

[SSDCrucial]

0 weeks, was trying to spoil. Unfortunate incidents happen in a contact sport, not every injury needs a suspension tied into it

Lol, you don't understand the rules of the game at all.

Absolute ******* joke

I'm not too sure who's the bigger peanut, Ralph or your good self.
