Spear Tackling

Grim, considering you have admitted not seeing the 'spear' you have had a lot to say about it, including starting it's own thread.
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.
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.Last edited by liz; 1 April 2008, 03:20 PM. Reason: Keep the personal stuff off the boards. Use the report function if you so desire.Comment

maybe,but the intention was to inflict injury to a opposition player,his sole intention was to spear his shoulder into the ground.

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.Comment

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).Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
