it was head high contact,plain and simple,even he didnt mean it,the head has to be protected simple as that
he should get two which he did,one with a early plea
AFL are not a joke,unless we wont headless players running around
david hille got a week for hitting chad cornes,and he derserved that one week

Dempster wasn't going for the ball, he was after another player who was in possesion of it. He turned blind and rammed his head into Rocca's elbow. Dempster would have probably been hurt worse if Rocca had of hit him plumb in the center of his body...would have sent him flying! But, the contact was negligent (one point), medium impact (two points) and high (two points)...not sure how they interpret impact when the guy who gets hit runs himself into the contact.

He got rubbed?? Well from a serious Melbourne and overall footy fan, that is SHIT with a Capitol AFL Tribuneral sucks balls!!!! It's called Football! Not Netball! I agree with protecting the player but the reason that hit him head high was because of Dempster, not Rocca. What a joke

tribunal a joke yes, so why dont you play the game within the joke rules? and magic, your boys will get spanked by the hawks.. regardless of whos in/out for either side
plus it's not just rocca being picked on, others have gone for less than that.. so who cares really..

Rocca's elbow didnt hit.. it was his shoulder...

Exactly. Had he had the elbow out, throw the book at him. But it was his shoulder, one of the fairest bumps I have seen in years

just saying the rules stink... maybe they should make a rule that doesnt allow players onver 6 foot to hip and shoulder... cos its a joke
Mate i dont care if we get spanked on the weekend as long as our boys show something thats all im after, if we win then thats a bonus. With the team we have on the park at the moment and still wining games just shows that we have depth, talent and huge heart. These things go along way

No, Only cause he's in my Dreamteam.
It doesn't matter, he made contact with the players head which is against the rules deliberate or not (JMHO).
I support a game that men play, whoever it may be. I pretty sure with the tribuneral and the rules they way they are going within 3-4 years I and many others will just stop watching....I knew nothing about the NRL at the start of the season and now im right into it and loving it....AFL is still number 1 for me ATM but I can see a swing coming if the AFL continues the way its going.
I know & understand what you are saying but
1. Your biased (Collingwood supporter lol)
2. The rule is there and he broke it
3. He got 1 week which I predicted

For the record I hate Collingwood with a passion but what is footy coming too. I'm better off watching Netball, there is more contact. What is happening to footy. You see 100 bumps like that in every game and Rocca gets nabbed cause the guy slipped and Rocca catches him high.
It was a free kick and it should have been left at.

Heck yes!!!
Onus is on the player making the bump, and he didn't get body at all.

Hey, your entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.......1-2 weeks is what I initially said and that is what he got
I admit I am biased though.....I hate Collingwood

But if the player slips what else can he do? I'm going to move to Queensland soon just to get away from the AFL as it's turned into a sport for pansies.
