No way he gets off, but ridiculous having a 3 hour tribunal. The penalty will be interesting.

Jeff Gleeson arguing for a six match suspension.
Not often I agree with the afel but today is that day:
The AFL's legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, is arguing for a suspension of no less than six matches. He says: "This is a serious offence and a serious moment in the governance of the game."
GWS counsel arguing for a fine, while simultaneously citing Tom Hawkins’ suspension in 2018. You can’t make this up.
Three weeks.
Seems pretty light for the seriousness of the charges.
He certainly shouldn't get time off for good past behaviour.
Will the AFEL appeal?
He left early to fly to WA. Will he appeal?
If it holds, it rules him out for the rest of the year. That’s going to hurt the team more than him. Selfish flog.
