Welcome to the Tigers Nathan Broad

[craig]

Rehabbing that hammy niggle.

Rest him up for another fortnight have him right for the praccy against the Dees, or even have him ready for round 1.

A handful of top 22 players that we are having to manage through to the season opener.

Broad, Tommy, Grimes, Prestia, and Baker.

Not exactly ideal.

Then theres also Graham and Sonz whove spent a fair whack of time rehabbing.

Its all coming along nicely and looking like the only player from your list that wont be ready round 1 is Sonsie
the rest are fine

Will deservedly serve a 2-4 week suspension. While he is absolutely responsible for the secondary slinging motion in the tackle, surely the umpires need to be faster on the whistle/OOB call rather than waiting to see if the ball spills loose when players have both arms pinned by an opponent.

 

[UKTiger]

Made an uncharacteristic mistake in the follow through and sling and deserves the punishment for it but there were other less nasty sling tackles in the game although not as obvious unless you rewind the video that were unpunished.

 

[tigerlove]

Yep was nasty. 2 weeks I reckon (hope).

I agree that the outcome of this suspension is that umpires need to be faster on the whistle. They do this a lot in rugby league now where they call 'held' to prevent exactly this from happening. I think he'll cop a couple of weeks but it could have been prevented.

The problem is we have already come out and said we are really sorry for the tackle which means the AFL can do what ever they want with the grading.

Watch them come out and hit us with "Intentional , High impact and he gets 4 weeks.


Use Richmond as an example - He definitely deserves 2-3. So stupid.

Oh well Miller will get pulled out the VFL today and have the next 2-3 weeks to consolidate

 

[jb03]

Only Richmond could have a player sent straight to the tribunal for a sling tackle and for which everyone gets 1 or 2 weeks.

Uhh....the AFL....what a darling. I agree he should get 3 weeks, but get ready for 4-5 weeks.

Should be 2. In the act of play and trying to get him over the boundary line. No chicken wing involved and other than concussion, nil serious injuries

 

[bigwow]

Already decided. Burton's action very similar, Elliott gets up, 2 weeks, no doubt appealed, reviewed, and reduced.

 

[btoz_01]

Afl wants to make an example of sling tackles and once again they chose us
broad sent straight to tribunal looking at 3+ weeks

 

[Tigers of Old]

Indeed. This is an overreaction to the criticism the tribunal copped last week.

 

[DavidSSS]

Should get 2 but has been referred straight to the tribunal.

Pickett whacks someone's head off and just gets 2 weeks and no tribunal.

Broad tackles a player and clearly did not deliberately slam the Adelaide player's head into the ground.

It was a reckless act, not a deliberate act.

Key difference though. Broady concussed his opponent badly.

Why does luck come into it when they’re trying to outlaw the action, not the result?
His actions were reckless unlike Pickett which was deliberate

Well Marlion was cited for “potential to cause injury”. His opponent got on with business as usual.
One minute players are cited for “potential to cause injury”. Then they have “it’s not the action, it’s the outcome”
Confusing really.
Admittedly Broady deserves a penalty in this case

The sling tackle has been outlawed for a few years now. Not many excuses for Broady here mate.

The AFL is grossly inconsistent on this, one minute they give out penalties on the basis of the impact, the next they cite what the impact could have been.

Absolute joke, just what we expect from the AFL.

I’m not arguing about the tackle but you seem to be supporting the argument that the concussion deserves a harsher penalty? I’m arguing it shouldn’t
