How do you know his intention was to drop his knees into his opponent's head? He was being held down on the ground. Couldn't get up. He can't use his arms because the other guy is holding onto him, so he uses his knees to break the guy's hold on him and accidentally hits his head. That's the way I saw it.

totally agree, its only the last one that should be looked at, at one stage he had both hands on the ground trying to push himself free, surely the drongo holding him to him gets some blame, or you spost to say. oh gee sorry, could you please let go?

For mine, that type of behaviour if intentional, should not be tolerated in our game. Having said that, you want blokes like Adams & Williams in your side & playing footy the way they like it!

Adams was brilliant. I love his physicality.

Yup and if we had had Marley, we win

Never thought I'd say that!

Pretty much; I'd have thought it would be hard to prove intent, kinda like Judd breaking Pavs nose a few years back.

Wonder what Westhoff did to set Adams off?

Kane Cornes showed what a Idiot he is in his Tweet

That was a fluke by Adams but great goal nevertheless. It reminded of Steele's goal against Carlton back in 2011. For those who don't remember here's the link below:

If you look at the whole incident, the port guy haD a handful of Taylor's hair and wouldn't let go!

When he kneed Westhoff, I didn't particularly care - so Adams misses a few weeks; whatever. Then the bastard has to go and play one of the best games of his life. We'll miss him.

He had a very strong 3 weeks and been important player for the 1st half of the Season.

He be badly missed like we saw vs Melbourne on Queens Birthday when we struggled around Ruck Contests

That incident could have had a terrible outcome - a young man might have been maimed. Happily, though, Adams' ACL remains quite intact.
