Hopefully this will lead to a crack down on players “dropping knees”. I saw an Eagles player do it to Docker Bailey Banfield in their game. The the Eagle did the “I’m trying to get off him but I’m uncoordinated and keep tumbling over him “ routine after the knee drop. Commentators praised Banfield for keeping his cool.
You need time to avoid contact. You can't help incidental contact if your task is to tackle or stop another player from getting the ball away. Your belief is that he did it intentionally. Mine is, based on the circumstances of Lambert diving to knock the ball forward and his body turning there really was no time or option to analyse the situation in depth when your task is to tackle the player. Unless you can categorically show a player's intention it's a dangerous game to play to suspend players on assumptions. It was a pretty straight forward case to adjudicate imo.
There was plenty of time to roll to the side and make contact body on body rather than knee to head. If Cameron's reaction time is that slow that he couldn't have turned, then he wouldn't be playing AFL.
I saw headlines using the words "dirty" and "ugly" without even looking for them.
Agree 100%. Even when you are falling on a player it's pretty easy to adjust your body slightly to avoid impacting with knees or elbows. If you choose to. Cameron didn't.
This. Exactly.
Practice game, ball already over the boundary line. The dog Cameron didn't even need to contest.
Michael Christian shows the same amount of logic and feel for the game as he did in his playing career - zero.
Didn't mean to quote above but reckon if it was Towner doing this last year to an opponent (Lever or Crouch etc.) most would say it was 'clumsy' and 'e plays tough.' Cameron's the same for mine. Makes them earn it, made a one or two bad ones during his career. I'd have him at Richmond playing like he does in a heartbeat.
Rubbish.
Towner played hard, but fair. Smashed blokes when it was in play. And always wanted the ball.
Cameron is a sniper. And what's worse, is he always does the "hey bloke, get up, you ok, I need to win the Coleman"
Has history. Will do it again .
Sorry to keep banging on about this Elmer. It just pisses me off. Coleman medalist in a fabricated AFL team and you don't get suspended.
Same as ablett last year. It was like he was TRYING to get suspended.
The inconsistency of the MRP is infuriating
Cameron is a seriously talented player - he doesn't need to drop knees and elbows. I don't get it.

Protected mongrel.
Give away for me was when he thought he was in trouble and tried to help him up after it. Most guilty players do that when worried.
