Roughie in trouble....

[juddy5x3]

just had a look at his tackle on Stanton. Could be in some strife for sling tackle. Stanton didn't hit his head but was close. Be interesting to see if he gets done for it and if so how long. If he does i'd guess 1 week.

[Spinking]

Pretty soft I reckon.  May get a week, but I would hope not.

[Mr.Craig]

Forceful, arms pinned, no head contact. It's marginal.

[Artax]

Wouldn't think so. Essendon should give themselves all a weeks suspension for this performance..

Watson, Heppell & Dumbledore the only decent performers, mostly

[chelo77]

Morris wasn't injured or hit his head either when Walker tackled him. Still got 3 weeks.

[Mr.Craig]

Just a reminder of the rule as it stands -

[Colliwobblers]

yeah the commentators pointed it out, not much force or impact but as posted above to the letter of the law it was reportable, may get a reprimand or a week not sure on his carry over points, it's pretty soft but the fact is it "could have" been a lot worse so the tackle itself was dangerous even tho it caused no harm at all..... i guess ???

This is coming from the same commentators that commended Chris Judd for his tackle on Adams hahaha... remember they said "wouldn't you just love to get tackled by Judd on a footy field?"

Should be safe, they take into account the medical report and if there is an injury to the tackled player, he didnt hit his head and wasnt injured in the incident, reprimand at worst i think!

Yeah the Morris incident was reported to be a bit of a mild delayed concussion so that didn't help. But Roughy should be cited for it if the MRP want to retain any level of consistency (which they don't).
