Re: Higgins Alir incident
There's no issue here. The AFL suspends anyone if their tackle causes a concussion. Don't they? https://www.afl.com.au/news/735442/match-review-tiger-docker-fined-ralphsmith-higgins-tackle-explained Jack Higgins has been subbed out of the game with concussion following this tackle by Hugo Ralphsmit...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
St Kilda should play a game and take tribunal decisions to their logical conclusion. Do not tackle at all. Not once. Or go the other way and concuss every Norf player in the first 15 minutes /s And - with the level of our tackle efficiency in the past couple of games - how would anyone know??? Do y...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Never been suspended or fined. It seems the good bloke clause is out the window. Oh yeah, he plays for St Kilda. What a joke and farce. Club will say nothing “We accept blah blah blah” Cop the fine , come out and say this is incompetent, totally inconsistent and clearly rules for some …not all” Jus...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
We argued to get it thrown out, but if not they're arguing exceptional circumstances to reduce. The issue is you only get one chance to put out an argument. You can't come back after being rejected to having it thrown out to try and reduce it. You go hard to throw it out on the grounds there isn’t ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Aliir 196cm powerfully built Higgins 177cm small forward To assume Aliir didn’t contribute by doing the mid air kick would be laughable. And that is the crux of it - it was a MID AIR kick - as in the ball fell loose from his shoulder so he took a wild swing at it - in an upwards projecting arc - ie...

Re: Let’s talk about cheating
Free kick counts are meaningless. You need to look at individual decisions. With the game on the line at the start of the last quarter the umpires gave three soft frees to Port which resulted in shots at goal. The first two missed: NWM holding the ball without any prior opportunity, Battle punching...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Well, we must have a chance because David King said on First Crack that he believes he should get off. If Higgins does not get off the penalty should be down graded due to Alir's contributing negligence trying to kick the ball and then failing to make any effort to protect himself. It was not even ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Apparently they are appealing based on Aliir Aliir contributing to the impact On another note the following comments should all be printed and given in defense. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=977942914335210&set=a.450574547072052 Apart from a few they all seem to wonder WTF the AFL is going.

Re: Let’s talk about cheating
What do we know about the current senior umpiring group? Most seem athletic enough, not many spew at 3/4 time or cramp up. We know they are largely respectful of each other's decisions, not demurring even when they know a mistake has been made. Nice tight and supportive. We know they have collectiv...

Re: Let’s talk about cheating
We’re -2 for free kicks across the whole season. So what does that say? That they cheated tonight. I understand, so they’ve now balanced out the games they cheated for us this year with the games they cheated against us. Sounds fair, swings and roundabouts 👍 Hey Dud - explain this one for me: https...
