People need to get some sense into them! Notting DID go the man, but that's how football is played. He was trying to bump caracella out of the contest so Notting could get the ball, however Notting had NO intention of hitting Caracella high as 9/10 it would be a free kick and he wouldn't benefit from it. It was a tragic day for AFL and Caracella however there was no malice in it and to this day those two men shake hands, as unlike some of you youtubers, they know it was an accident. Grow up!
@CrimzonXDevil Aw fuckin' tell me about it mate! The Brisbane player DIDN'T have eyes for the ball, he ran in late, at full speed, CHARGING AT Blake rather than the ball and absolutely smashed him! he fracturing several vertebrae and bruising his spinal cord.......AND NOT EVEN A FREE KICK? When WAS this game? 1994? For fucks sake! a player would be done for AT-LEAST 8 weeks from a reckless bump like that.
Poor Blake, you deserved better son! FUCK that Brisbane cocksucker!
@AndrewVenes his neck wasnt fully broken, normally when people become quadriplegics from neck injuries it is because the spine is completely broken and in some cases the spinal cord severed.
@AndrewVenes Accident? I'm not gonna try to argue that the Brisbane player TRIED to break his neck but seriously, come on! Blake goes down for the ball, in comes the Brisbane player AFTERWARDS, looking and aiming at Blake and he runs straight at his head when the ball was out infront of Blake. It's called not having eyes for the ball, his intention was to bump Blake off the ball and gain posesssion of the ball, there was NO NEED to come in THAT hard, it was absolutely reckless!
@thomy245 i'm saying it because every single game he went out there and did what he was asked of, was always effective, was a perfectly nice guy and he could possibly still be around today if it wasn't for this accident
@ty4mem You need to renew the prescription for your glasses son! If you think THAT was a "slight touch" then you have to be blind or just really fuckin' STUPID!
Still one of the most sickening collisions I've ever seen on a football field. Purely accidental though - no malice in it - even if Brisbane are notorious for shit like that.
Take a GOOD look at the bump again. Watch Blake go down for the ball, he's not hit a split second afterwards, he's hit a good 1-2 seconds AFTER he slid down on the ground to pick up the ball, THEN the Brisbane player comes running in like a fuckin' BULL, LOOKING AT BLAKE, NOT THE BALL.
On the replay of the bump, look at the trajectory that the Brisbane player is coming from towards the contest, the ball is INFRONT of Blake, he goes FOR Blake.
I believe he had a raw deal because of the fact that Essendon shafted him after he had been at the club for six years and in the premiership year, then he was forced to Brisbane the Collingwood, i mean this accident wouldn't have happened had he stayed at the bombers, such a great player who got a raw deal from the AFL. he'd probably still be playing for the bombers now had they not booted him, heffernan, solomon and others.
@2brave2handle it's all because of the salary cap...we had too many good players after winning the premiership that we couldn't keep. That's why caracella, blumfield and heffernan all had to leave, solomon had to leave because he was a bit of a cunt
@zanedouglas101 I hope it's played on his mind CONSTANTLY ever since it happened!
And I hope he's thinking :
"Was that REALLY in the spirit of the game what I just did?"
"Had I gone the ball and not the man, might I have not retired and permanentley injured my former team-mate?"
"If I ever have a son that plays AFL rules, I'll show him the footage of my bump as a reminder that carelessness and recklessness can wind up costing a man his career and health for the rest of his life"
Shit way for Blake's career to be ended - a broken neck AND playing for the Pies! All jokes aside though, I was gutted when he was traded from Essendon, at his best he was smooth as silk!
I was there that night. Unfortunate to see the incident which ended a great career. But on the up side we did win that match and a youngster named Scott Pendelbery made his debut that night
a great hit? how can anything be GREAT when it can break someones neck and risk them being paralysed? show some humanity and compassion instead of calling something dangerous "great" you're a disgrace.
that wasnt luke power mate it was tim notting, and dont have a go at him cus him and carra were great mates at brisy and he felt horrible, btw im a pies supporter
Sad day for Brisbane, Essendon and Collingwood supporters but Notting did nothing wrong here though. Both players going for the ball, an unfortunate accident occured.
yes but he was a little reckless dont think he needed to go in full bore like that knees first and im sure he could have seen caracella with his head over the ball.
Technically they didn't need to stop the match until the stretcher was on the field. The umpires had their back to the trainers. Not everything is their fault you know.
I think both players were at fault. Notting prob should've been more careful, however putting your head over the footy like that you are bound to get hit. Not sure how it wasn't at least a free.. Rocca comes in and gives notting a bit of how do you do.. And the umpires take four hours to stop the play!!
Notting really did nothing wrong here. Both players were going for the ball. If anything Caracella slightly pulls back at the last minute which contributes to the evential impact.
Unfortunately sometimes these injuries happen despite players doing the right thing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oviosly a brisbane supporter "notting did nothing wrong" watch this at a time that you're not drunk and you might start to see that notting broke carracella's neck. Notting was wrong on all levels.
Being a Brisbane supporter has nothing to do with it, I could show you a thread on bigfooty where supporters of 15 clubs (except Collingwood unsurprisingly) almost unanimously agreed that it was an unfortunate incident but that Notting did nothing wrong.
Don't be a baby, both players were going for the ball and an unfortunate incident occured. That happens in football.
Go watch netball if you are scared of contact sports.
as a brisbane supporter, i was absolutely sickened to see caracella's injury. i say this because blake was one of my favourite players during his stint at the lions. yes it was high, and yes it should have been a free kick. although caracella did slip, it was nottings fault. it was a real shame to see such a talented player forced to retire. as much as i dislike collingwood, i would never wish this upon anyone. i hope caracella's career will be remembered fondly,good luck to the pies this year.
Notting would feel bad because he is a former team mate
