You guys are just dumb. Studies show that head injuries like the one Parker COULD of got from Mcdonald can severly affect later life with the brain. Hence, the AFL wants to reduce these kind of things.

AFL still has breathtaking marks, tackles and goals why do you guys care so much that you can't clothesline somebody's head off anymore?

He was apart of making the review system, so he should know what you can and what you can't do better than anymore.

So JMac owners can use the VC loophole next week for the Carlton v Brisbane game..... I wont be too dissapointed with him if Rocky pumps out 140 for me ;)

I thought it was a fair bump. My problem is they AFL needs to be clear, if they want to ban the bump, they should say it.

TheMailman

It was classed as high contact which is the point I'm making.

I think they might of based it on the Swans medical report but the footage shows that his shoulder goes into Parker's mouth

I'm not having a go at Mcdonald, I'm sure he meant just to catch his chest and knock him over, just didn't execute it properly

The Afl are going to ruin our great game by making it too soft.It's a contact sport which the athletes get paid very well for. They make a career decision to be a footballer. It would be terrible for serious incident to occur but thats footy. Harden up people! Ya dont here dermie complaining about being knock out by woosha in one of the best shirtfronts ever. Personally i think mcdonalds was a fair bump and so did the umpire standing a couple of mters away. The afl just trying to sanitise it to much for the mums and kids and the image of the game at the start of the season. We all love to watch n play hard footy so it should be allowed (bring back the shirtfront).It will be a shame if parker plays next week while old mac cant. If you ask parker, he would probably say that it was  great shepered. Harden up AFL! Oh and it's not like he ripped his head off with a clothsline tackle either. C'mon lets be realistic for flower sake.

I would love shiel to be dropped, just for next week only, to see if people have to burn some early trades, would be interesting :P

VC loophole with rocky/scotland for me next week, so not the end of the world...
