    Headland was VERY lucky IMO.

    But it was really nothing like Cornes incident, Headland just slung Ladsen to the ground (and late as well) and he landed on his shoulder. Cornes actually pinned Mattners arms and tackled him well.

      It was NOT a spear tackle at all. Cornes tackled Mattner ball and all, pinned his arms and drove his shoulder into the ground. It was not a particularly vicious act, but the exact same thing has drawn criticism in the past, I think Byron Pickett was involved, as the tackled player is invariably dumped on their shoulder unable to protect themselves. It's a broken collarbone/AC injury waiting to happen.

      Cornes has no case to answer.
      maybe,but the intention was to inflict injury to a opposition player,his sole intention was to spear his shoulder into the ground.
      mattner left the ground straight after,also jack's head was speared into the ground causing him to also leave the ground.
      what gutless cornes did was 100 times worse than goodes.

            I think the type of tackle where a player pins the opponent's arms is very dangerous - such as Cornes' and Hamill did something similar a couple of years ago. It is highly unlikely that anything will be done to address and to some extent it would be difficult to do so. These are not the same as spear tackles though.

              BTW - I haven't been angry, more bemused that we can't have an objective discussion.
              Where is Cornes duty of care to our players?

                We were watching it on Tv with friends and we all commented on how bad the tackles looked and how dangerous they were. It seemed that the intent was to slam the players head into the ground, this is both stupid and dangerous but it is not a spear tackle.

                        He does have a duty of care, if Goodes has one.

                            I'm pretty sure Bloods has said it.

                              Mike Sheahan made the comment on On the Couch that when Thomas' head was down so it was not entirely Goodes' fault, but he had a duty of care to the other player not to lash out recklessly with his elbow (if that's what he did, which was the initial impression).
