Yep, I think there's be a little bit of prejudice against defenders, even though Young is nowhere near the sort of hitman that Luke Hodge was.

Unfortunately, we know 1 thing that stands to Young's credit can't be considered: there's no sympathy for 200 cm guys who bump smaller guys (leaving aside the issue of whether it was a bump), even though Young did really well to get as low as he did. If it had been Newman rather than Young, the contact would have been made around the stomach/chest area and there'd be no issue. The AFL has declared that a choice to bump is like a Damoclean Sword: execute the perfect bump and you're okay, but if there's any miscue at all it's a suspension.

What should be considered in his favour is that at 200 cm he would not have the agility of a guy like Durdin to move off the line.

The MRO graded Young’s bump on Kangaroos forward Cameron Zurhaar as careless and high impact with contact to the body.


Zurhaar briefly came from the ground after colliding with Young, but was able to play out the remainder of the match.

One more reason why I hate the North Melbourne football club and their dirty tactics.  They hide behind the "shinboner spirit" to play like thugs and get away with it, and the second one of their blokes cops a hit, they go "down into the rooms" to make it look worse because the second you go through concussion precautions, its a hit to the head, and a suspension to your opponent.  This has happened frequently over the last few years, and I have started to really loathe such underhanded behaviour.

On On The Couch, Jon Ralph thought there was a chance the contact would be downgraded from high impact to medium impact, allowing Young to get off his suspension. Lyon, Riewoldt and Brown were okay with the 1 week but they wanted more consistency.

Jonathan Brown suggested that this was one of those few times in the year a footballer has to decide to go for the ball knowing that doing so may well injure him.

I was close to the bump, right in line with it and think he is lucky to have got one week.

True. They just want to make sure they nominate guys like Horne-Francis and Rochelle early just in case they injure themselves before they do. They can't give a retrospective nomination after that happens.

Remember the year Charlie didn't get nominated until really late in the season? He then went on to nearly win it.

Must have been that hit on JSOS, wouldn't be many rising star nominees that get fined and nominated on the same day.

You'd think we lost to these bastards with the venom we're spitting at them .. but they sure as hell deserve it.

He didn't hit him in the head.

The charge said it was body contact.

Why is this even a report?

Just watched the replay of both Youngs incidents.

1. When he went the bump, Eleni played a free kick against for High contact. - There was no high contact. She guessed and she was wrong.

2. When Young got tunnelled, the umpire that paid the 50m did not even see it.
He was looking left and said it was a free kick from downfield.....he then looked right at where the ball ended up from the kick and then he looked at Young laying on the ground and immediately paid a 50.
He simply guessed at what happened. In this instance he was right....but he guessed nonetheless.

Both examples of poor umpiring decisions and guessing.

Agree, rubbish report. What was Young supposed to do? Both travelling towards the footy, its a collision and there was no head contact. Zurharr bit off more than he could chew and came off second best. If Young steps aside he gets labelled a jib. Fk that.

On 10 news apparently Horne-Francis was sticking up for his club because Jack said the Roos were sh*it, no footage of his sniper punch before Jack told him the truth.
