@RalphyHeraldSun@SeanA6 Sorry, it must be outcome based - the tackle on Wilkie was clearly worse than PCs but no concussion means “nothing to see here, football act”.
@klioness Did you see the goal square tackle on Wilkie in the last 5min of the Swans/StK game - looked worse than PCs but with no concussion so it’s “nothing to see here”.
@giantroo Nice work! Let’s hoping they take note. Also of interest to me is the last qtr tackle from behind of Wilkie in the SwansStk game - arms pinned, forward momentum, heavy head contact with the turf. PC like!!
@Thomo_Grant What’s more - you’d have seen two incidents in the last 5min of the StK Swans game that were identical to the PC and Archer suspensions. Wilkie hit his head hard enough to concuss most players, but because he didn’t there nothing to see (MRO prediction). Act or result?
@RalphyHeraldSun@lousanti A fairer comparison would be the Fritsch fend off on Powell (not
concussed) from a few years ago - back then the MRO sanctioned Fritsch who then got off on appeal. I think Elbows Richards was very lucky!
@tmmisson@RalphyHeraldSun@FOXFOOTY Bayley Fritsch did the same as Elbow Richards (side of Powell’s head and no concussion), given a week but appealed and got off. AFL have said it’s ok to fend to the head but reserve the right to change their minds when a North player does the same.
@TWTME26 Chom gave McKercher an ear full after a substandard effort during the 3rd qtr. Expect a lift
from those spared and those coming in. Go Roos!!!
@Adam___Schultz Best read the small print - North aren’t getting a Friday “night” game, Good Friday is all and that’s for the team that pioneered Friday night games when it was considered a graveyard slot.
