makes sense to use your head ...

[Q.]

Lindsay Thomas suspension = don't even bother going for the ball anymore.



Are players going to be suspended every time a player gets injured?!

[Jim05]

Stevie J and Kossi both copped a week

[RustyCage]

I'm biased, but I thought Goodes would get off at the tribunal tonight. Seen some pretty soft suspensions in the last few years, but it seems banging legs is a no no now. If the ball had bounced the other way, it might have been Surjan being reported.

http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/newsId/133364/Default.aspx

But the ball DIDN'T bounce the other way. He could have broken the Geelong player's leg pre season with something very similar (luckily didn't) and he obviously hasn't learnt a thing. He took his eyes off the ball well before he was SECOND to the contest on Sunday and is deadset lucky the "points system" worked in his favour that he could take a free hit and not risk more than a match.
Don't get me wrong, he's a star of the game but I feel like many I've spoken to that he is a sniper at times and has got away with a lot more than other players have in the past.

Agreed, you can't slide into a contest going knee first into players and nget away with it

Unbelievable suspension. If Goodes suspension was bad, this one is disgraceful.

Unbelievable Thomas got a free kick in the incident also!

No way that can be upheld on protest

[CoverKing]

Stevey J also challenging his ban

[Mythical Creature]

Lindsay had his hands on the ball.
Accidents happen in a contact sport.

[mighty_tiger_79]

well its no surprise Thomas was involved in an incident like this, afterall the kangaroos mantra is the shinboner spirit

[Mr66]

Exactly MC, but this seems to be lost on the AFL.
In fact, I'm surprised the AFL haven't charged the Sydney player for bringing the game into disrepute for deliberately breaking his own leg so ghouslishly.

[Mr66]

*BREAKING NEWS*
Thomas has just gotten off. Free to play this week.
Commonsense rules.

[RustyCage]

How many MRP decisions need to be overturned before the AFL realise the people on the panel are out of touch?

[TEX07]

The MRP is ridiculous, if Thomas had not challenged he would be out for two weeks when the AFL tribunal says he has no case to answer. Why cant they intervene when they think that it is worthy?? Would save a heap of time IMO.
