I have just watched the vision of the tackle with Beau and find it ludicrous that you have been reported

As a loyal supporter of the EP club (its development and reserves) I want to tell you that in MY OPINION you did nothing wrong and you should not feel that you have done anything wrong, what happened was an accident.

My affection for Beaus stems from a long involvement at the club and his growth from the development squad thro' to his league games and I am sure that he would not want you to feel bad about the accident.

Really nice post, Grump.

Absolutely nothing in it, just one of those unfortunate accidents. Young Mitch must be devastated and needs our full support.

Well said Grump, just a very sad day for all concerned, we can only hope and prey the young man can recover from this, good luck mate we are all preying for you.

Saw the vision, that happens 10 times a game, just a tragic outcome from an everyday/game event, our thoughts are mainly with Beau but also with the WP lad who must be feeling bloody awful at the moment, but both clubs will rally around their lads and I'm sure the WCE will get involved with supporting the lad, their resources are significant.

I agree with all of the above however that type of spear tackle is outlawed in all codes these days especially when it causes injury. Not that it matters much in the big scheme of things but I reckon he'll be suspended but suggest that's the least of his concerns right now. The poor bugger must be feeling really bad about the whole situation and I guess he's in a similar situation to the young fast bowler who struck Phillip Hughes. It's just a tragic accident which will hopefully turn out to be ok in the end.

Antonio has just copped 10 weeks, look I havnt seen the tackle but from what I've heard there was nothing in it ,bit stiff if that's the case.

Christ I just saw the incident doesn't even deserve a fine WP need to fight this, a big over reaction by the tribunal I hope they havnt been influenced by the media.

Spot on Pete.. Absolute joke! If he didn't get injured he wouldn't of even got reported!

Everyone needs to calm down. All West Perth need to do is put him on the team sheet and make sure he's at the game and he's not really suspended right? It's fair to say the WAFC have had a bad day
