The bloke left the field on a stretcher. He was hit in the head accident or not it’s going to be punished

FMD this game is stuffed. Only going to get worse.
AFL doesn't want any more players coming after them for money for head knocks.
Put a bib on them

genuine attempt to spoil (which is legal). Did not hit his head or whack him and Ballard is fine.

So next time a player flies for a mark and doesn't touch the ball and collects someone in the head is that a suspension?
Have a look at a replay before making a fool out of yourself

2 weeks is a joke. Inconsistency in decisions wrecks the game .

Pickett better be careful. He loves the early fly. They may even double it for him to make up for only getting 2 for the bunp
Every bump that ends up high was an accident and weeks are given. End of the day if you’re going to spoil don’t KO someone.

What a crap decision.
Spare me the duty of care argument, his missed spoiling the ball by a second and they are suggesting his was going for the man.

So i guess don't spoil then as any spoil has that potential if you slightly mistime it
Was he KO’d was he??

****ing joke AFL has become. Maybe the only apology needed is the AFL as a incompetent organisation

Yeah I’d imagine he’s learnt his lesson, how does JVR learn from this though? Put the spoil away, don’t even attempt for an overhead mark just incase your hand touches someone’s head?
The law is being laid down by people who haven’t played the game in 30+ years. It’s bow asking for near perfect execution on anything that involves contact. Intent doesn’t matter anymore. The game has changed enough to make it look unrecognisable

Sad day for the game.
2 weeks for that laughable Melbourne have to appeal again

Dangerous precedent and totally over the top.
If I wanted to watch a non contact sport I'd watch synchronised swimming.
