Brodie Grundy tackle on Ben Brown

[reincarnated]

Four weeks down to three.

 

[go you pups]

Danger definitely deserved to go, and I wouldn't be surprised if Grundy got a week. (But then danger only got 1, and Grundy wasn't as bad ) That was horrible.

The injury severities between Kreuzer and Brown will likely be different

Kreuzer played today, I doubt Brown gets up next week

Based off previous precedent where the AFL/MRP pull the trigger on those who cause concussions/head injuries, even when they are accidental/unavoidable then Grundy misses at least 2 imo.

I hate seeing players penalised for accidents, but this is the line the AFL has taken and they must stick with it. If they backflip then Geelong issues a please explain to AFL HQ at a bare minimum.

Fair comment. full of shit when a player from a certain club (ours *wink*) is up on a charge, Bartel will get him off is often muttered. Fair question imo.
go you pups summed it up. This shall be interesting, gets 1 week or less and Cook should be on the phone to Gillon demanding answers. This should be 2 minimum based on last weeks soft suspension where Kreuzer was near BOG today.

Not good for Brown seeing him off to hospital.

It's pathetic the precedent shown, but that's the AFL....

Grundy is in big trouble, even though I don't believe he should be suspended, like Danger. The AFL have gone too far with this and must carry consistency in this regard for the good of the game going forward.

I'm sure plenty of people didn't want to wear seatbelts while drink-driving, but once the science was in about saving lives...

So just tackle but don't slam heads into the ground. If you do it is no longer the "perfect" tackle.

 

[L e x]

Perfect tackle. Unfortunate result. Didn't sling him and the player still had possession of the ball on the way down. Literally not a thing he could have done. He'll get a week purely for appearances and the MRP not wanting to face the public scrutiny were he to get let off. Certainly doesn't warrant a suspension.

 

[firefighter]

This duty of care BS can be applied to anything they do in footy, it's rubbish.

Anyway, like Danger Grundy is gone due to the BS AFL rules.

 

[LFC2010]

I think he'll actually go straight to the tribunal. The MRP will put this into the too hard basket.

 

[Rob R]

No case to answer. One motion, chest hit ground first. Just bad luck. But afl will probably give him a week since they Dangerfield one week just to avoid having to admit that was a mistake.

 

[firefighter]

(But then danger only got 1, and Grundy wasn't as bad )

Hehehehe......

 

[partylikeits1990]

Gone - have to protect the head according to AFL.

How?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Just want consistency.

No no no

Can't remember Kreuzer being taken to the hospital, when did that happen?

No just intetested if pious hawthorn fans accusing others demand same of own team. Would have thought a pretty easy question

Not sure where you get pious from, but yes, for a comparable act I'd expect a suspension for a Hawthorn player.

At least this week we don't have to do the Brownlow nonsense again.

 

[SheezNuts]

Pinned the arms, sling motion, and drove into ground.

Definitely suspended. 2 weeks imo.

 

[Boxhead_31]

But what about his Brownlow chances?

What about Brown's Coleman chances?

 

[STPer18]

Worse than Dangerfield's, which was 2 down to 1. Give him 4 down to 3, got to stamp this stuff out apparently. Surely fans from the 17 other clubs agree after last week.

Sucked right in.

 

[PokerChamp]

This needs to stop!!

A serious injury waiting to happen with these tackles.

Anyone that thinks it's the perfect tackle is totally ignorant to the fact that these tackles are regarded as dangerous and players will be suspended.

After seeing Dangerfields, I think Grundy has to miss a week.

 

[caitsith01]

As a fan of the sport, shouldn't be a suspension (nor should Dangerfield's have been). As a fan of Geelong, I'll be ****ing livid if he gets off.

 

[Sedat!]

He'll go, he and the club will accept the MRP findings, and there will be none of the utterly embarrassing "great tragedies of our times" narrarive from last week.

I also doubt Grundy will do an interview fobbing off the incident with arrogant disdain in one of the footy shows tomorrow.

 

[00Stinger]

Should get off. the issue was Dangerfield tackled and drove a players head to the ground without the ball, Grundy's tackle was great just unfortunate that Brown got smashed

So they both drove a players head into the ground and caused injury?

According to the AFL this means weeks off

Mumford regularly does this and gets nothing. Won't even be looked at.

He's not getting off. In fact he'll get two.

Oops! Hawks hate it when others get more attention than them.

Just like Danger's wasn't?

I agree. Bad weekend to do that.
