The AFL does that, and it's beyond moronic. Same action results in widely different results based off luck and the susceptibility of the victim to various injuries.

I agree, it's not a crazy idea for the injury to be a consideration on the length of a suspension.

what i meant T was , injury should not be a resulting factor , intent/act should be , also if the red cardee has some serious priors....you dont see bank robbers getting off cause they got no money ...intent/act
It's not crazy, but trust me - it's not a good result and ends up with even more frustrating ambiguity.

The photo of it is brutal, both feet planted directly on the back of each leg. Could have been a horrific outcome for Faz
Not saying that Recky but the force of the tackle needs to be factored into consideration. I would rather our players don’t play act in those sorts of situations and it is a credit to Faz that he didn’t overreact at the time.

fair enough, but i still think 5 weeks was just fine , actually it should be more for anything resembling a potential leg snapper , injured or not

Do you have the photo? My recollection was that his back leg got stuck in the pitch and this softened the force on the Farrell challenge. Otherwise it could have been much nastier.

The first half was up there with the best football i`ve seen in years from our side.
However, one of the most pleasing aspects of the game for me was Triantis` rocket shot from 35m.
Exciting young players that can shoot like that will keep the opposition guessing and give us a new dimension to our game...

I just freeze framed the video, gee that is one of the worst I've ever seen tbh. Faz is very lucky that the position of his legs let them crumple under rather than offer resistance, this could have been career ending.
Not saying it wasn’t a bad tackle but the freeze frame makes it look so much worse.
Not sure if he slid on the pitch on to Farrell left ankle/boot which causes him to loose balance and he falls into the other leg. It was an accident but does look very bad on a still. Deserved red and 3 games but no more. Just might be a sign that Isiasis is starting to decline now that he’s missing tackles badly and getting reds
