King and Windhager a week each for incidental high contact.

Nic Newman chooses to bump high contact clear to play with a fine

Some clubs are more equal than others.

[CURLY]

Correct

[saynta]

Lets face it, we are all aware, or most of us anyway, that the AFL and that filth creep Christian play favorites, if they are not actually corrupt.

It’s laughable

[bigcarl]

Club should ask for a please explain - nicely and behind the scenes - but I expect it won’t. Those suspensions potentially cost us premiership points.

How can it not be a form of corruption.

If he/they were tossing a coin it would sometimes favour an unfashionable club with lesser membership #s.

No way the decisions fit facts or precedents.

It's too serious for laughter. They are making a joke of the competition, and it's very sad.

It could only happen in Australia. In other countries they simply wouldn't put up with what's going on.
We just cop all sorts of crap from "authorities " and rationalise it. Someone always knows better so cop it sweet, mugs.

When I saw Newman I automatically said week the group watching all said that’s a week.

Similar to Max King’s suspension, although Max didn’t jump into him.

Back in the olden days (Round 2) any contact to the head had to be classified as medium impact despite the fact that the Pies player got up and showed no effects from the blow.

In my view of the world, Newman's act didn't warrant a suspension: the force of his contact seemed to be very light indeed.

I certainly agree that, in the context of the other suspensions handed out lately, he has been treated extremely leniently. Perhaps he is also a "nice bloke."

[The_Dud]

lol, some only know how to play the victim.

Melbourne bloke is lucky he didn’t get a fine for staging.

You've said it more succinctly than me. I'm not certain that there was any contact at all.

Still a stupid act by Newman: it could easily have all gone horribly wrong.

What happened to minimum "Medium Impact" for any head high hit bumps .... King & Windhager

What happened to "potential to cause injury" ... Ben Long would have got 3 weeks

The fact that Newman used his elbow made it even worse... he actually moved it away from his body

MRO / Christian are a freakin disgrace

Well, yes. But was there actually any contact? I'm not sure there was.

He got charged and fined

There was contact ... head high elbow contact

Couple of minutes before the 3/4 time siren in the Collingwood vs WCE game, Bytel was dishing out a handball while a West Coast player behind him was trying to tackle him. Darling was facing Bytel as he approached and just 'accidentally' whacked Jack Bytel front on.

Darling made careless contact with Bytel and basically knocked him out. It was not a tackling action.

He chose to bump and his arm and elbow hit Bytel in the face. Umpire was right there and correctly paid the free to Collingwood but Jack had to come off the ground

If Jack Darling was a St Kilda player...OR....

if Jack Darling had hit one of the Collingwood 'darlings'...he'd be facing time on the sidelines
