EVERY AFL Suspension in 2022 - Holding The Bull AFL

[@holdingthebull]

Thanks so much for watching guys. Lets hope for a fantastic 2023 footy season. Big things to come. Face reveal and live video coming!

[@Alvilos]

that Will Hayes one still blows my mind that is was even reported let alone not challenged for 2 weeks. The tribunal system was meant to bring consistency into the game and they have turned it into a gambling system

[@holdingthebull]

The consistency in the umpiring is terrible at the moment.

[@archiesinfield9333]

@@holdingthebull it’s not the umpiring that determines the weeks it’s the tribunal

[@aucata8816]

I see what you mean, I think it shouldn’t of been 2, maybe 1, but he slung him, and Menegola didn’t have the ball, and he was concussed.

[@RBsports12]

The work put into to getting all this clips is incredible, im giessing found and recorded them all yourself. It is really impressive work, keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 videos.

[@Toks238]

Although there are plenty of incidents where blokes are rightfully suspended. 2022 has to go down as the most confusing season when it comes to reports and tribunal decisions. Great upload though!

[@azadog1233]

yep, a lot of suspensions based on the result rather than the action

[@holdingthebull]

Absolutely agree with that

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

[@aidanking1501]

0:28 How Rioli wasn't even reported for that is mind blowing, that's a suspension every day of the week. He's honestly a bit of a dog

[@holdingthebull]

Yea it was an interesting decision

[@tristanboudreau8447]

To be fair, there was a marking contest. I think his defense was that he didn’t even see him.

[@bombarder321_8]

Great video mate! Still can’t believe Cripps got off, obviously big ramifications for the Brownlow as well. Feel bad for Lachie Neale

[@maddy5462]

Why are you still harping on about this. Well deserved brownlow for crippa.

[@holdingthebull]

Agreed with that. Still not sure how that ever happened

[@rhyssanders9122]

@@maddy5462 Mate there was nothing fair game about the overturning of the suspension and everyone knows it

[@biznatch112]

2 weeks for Ryder but nothing for cripps. The rig was in on that brownlow

[@holdingthebull]

Doesn't make sense when the AFL are always going on about protecting the head. Paddy Ryder gets done due to concussion but then Cripps is free to go

[@dangraham8349]

Nice work mate!!! Let's see if the umpires can have some consistency next season.

[@holdingthebull]

Let's hope so

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

It's 2023 and all I have to say was that 2023 was a *sh!t* year for umps

[@azadog1233]

I'd like to see consistency in the umpiring and the tribunal equal to the consistency of banger uploads on this channel

[@holdingthebull]

Definitely some consistency issues. Appreciate it man

[@michaelfalkner1186]

I can see why that second one got an initial call and the tribunal. That's a dangerous knee, but correctly reversed because it was a well-contested play.

[@holdingthebull]

Still so many questionable calls though

[@jordanportelli9210]

[@holdingthebull]

Thanks Jordan, appreciate it

[@lilred2063]

Unfortunate for Kennedy, that ended up being his last game, not a good way to go out being suspended, especially for one of the greatest swans players ever.

[@velocitygaming9398]

Dude wtf the "30 seconds untill minions spawn" tripped me the fuck out.

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

13:30 is basically how i feel when i wake up every morning

[@archiesinfield9333]

Most of these r good I like how they r protecting the head especially with the dangerous tackles. Perhaps paddy ryders was a bit too far and I think robbo also should’ve gotten off but other than that I reckon the tribunal did alright

[@holdingthebull]

Yea most seem to make sense. The only thing that really annoys me is that they pay the outcome not the incident. If Paddy Ryder's hit didn't leave the Hawks player concussed that's barely even a free kick

[@jaya9950]

Lol Paddy Ryder getting 2 weeks for that was unreal, considering what was to come. Look at Rowbottom on Merrett, significantly more force, pushes forward, more deliberate, and gets 1 week.... and Crippa, well. Haha.

[@holdingthebull]

Yea I know. It doesn't really make sense does it. Paddy's bump had no malice in it but you can throw your whole body at someone and get 1 week less or even get let off... so strange

[@jaya9950]

@@holdingthebull I am a Saints supporter, but even removing the bias there, it was an unusual outcome for sure. I think if that happened and Paddy got 2 weeks, and then similar incidents throughout the rest of the year also got 2 weeks then I would be less bemused by it, but there is/was such an enormous lack of consistency in penalties throughout the year - the one thing it was designed and introduced to bring.

[@holdingthebull]

The AFL are always going on about protecting the head but then let that one slide...

[@archiehaywood6005]

Still no idea how Cripps was cleared

[@holdingthebull]

Absolutely

[@elmango3942]

Brownlow contenders don't get reported come on now

[@CaptainQuoll]

All about head contact concussions and knocking someone out but with Carlton nah he’s fine he only ticked all boxes of current suspension rules but since it’s Cripps who cares

[@usernamenellin7622]

eyes on ball

[@bobjane3887]

Because he is the AFL poster boy and plays for Carlton

[@ZirraTheGamingKaiju]

Honestly don't see much difference in the Paddy Ryder bump, and the Lewis Young bump, yet one cops 2 weeks and one gets the 1 week suspension turned over. MRO/Tribunal needs to find consistency if we're ever to move forward as a competition.

[@holdingthebull]

The consistency is definitely the biggest issue. Got let off due to a technicality.

Carlton will do well in the next 3-5 years. They have traded really well and kept their good players

[@holdingthebull]

Pretty much hey :)

[@davidhoward4715]

Any player who runs in from a distance to retaliate against any foul should get a ten-game suspension. It's not heat-of-the-moment.

[@holdingthebull]

ten game seems a bit excessive don't you think

[@michaelgerhardt7130]

Can someone explain for a footie novice, the Ben Brown punishment? What league was that and why was he there?

[@airborne_seal]

That was the VFL, the 2nd division of footy below the AFL, usually contains young players and those who don’t make the AFL team for that week. Team is the Casey Demons which is Melbournes VFL affiliate and if I remember correctly he was coming back from injury and so they played him in the slightly less physical VFL to help get him back into proper shape. Then as shown proceeds to elbow a guy and gets suspended for a week.

[@holdingthebull]

That's exactly right. Usually done for fitness reasons after an injury

[@holdingthebull]

Thank you. Appreciate it.

[@el-violador]

A lot of those instances are backwards... Cripps goes careening into a player while in second place for the ball and flatten them? Great work have a medal. You turn your body and brace for an incoming player? Tell your story walking Can't understand how Robinson was considered a ban while Cripps and Rioli were given the tick of approval

[@Tosicc567]

Pretty sure crips got let off because of some paperwork being done wrong? I may be wrong on that but he 100% should have been done for it, I'm a brisbane fan so could be me just being biased. Knocking a player out for I think it was three games without really contesting the ball should be a suspension🤷

[@el-violador]

@@Tosicc567 Cripps went to tribunal and played the "contesting the ball" card. He had no intention of getting the ball even if he was looking at it. I think he had a Brownlow to win

[@Tosicc567]

@@el-violador If he wasn't in the running for the brownlow theres no way they would've let him off, Robinsons was barely even high and he got a week. Cam Rayner got a week for a tackle that was barely dangerous too imo.Cripps jumped straight into the players head it wasn't even a marking contest, normally you'd wait until they grab the ball to tackle them and cause a stoppage I thought

So many of these are terrible. Robinson was stationary and the other play hit him, yet he gets suspended. Same with Ryder.

I actually agree with most of these decisions, particularly the tackles a lot of consistency overall imo. How the hell did Cripps get off tho arguably one of the worst hits of the year

Because the afl need to protect there daddy

[@jesser5872]

because he’s the vfl’s pet

[@holdingthebull]

Very interesting when compared to someone like Mitch Robinson's hit or even Paddy Ryder... how did those get a week and two and Cripps got nothing?

[@Casanova-Frankenstein_93]

@@holdingthebull Because the precedent was set with Riolis bump on Rowell. Eyes on the ball, Rioli got cleared so only fair Cripps got cleared if Rioli did. Simple as that. People calling it one of the worst things ever are being extremely hyperbolic, it was pretty 50/50.

[@willotree5844]

Good work. Cripps the worst of the season, followed by Stewart.

[@holdingthebull]

Unbelievable that it got turned over.

[@dabluse3497]

Cripps is absolutely not the worst. Like I'm a Carlton fan so obvious bias there but Stewart is not contesting the ball and Cripps is. Sure, you can think he should be suspended, but come on. You're just being disingenuous if you think the totally malicious act by Stewart is not obviously worse than Cripps' bump.

[@DrifterHouse]

Cripps being banned, having it upheld, then appealed and overturned. Then weeks later a Brownlow betting scandal in the same count where this player won the medal. Something is seriously up there.
