That is what I would have expected

If he's run and hit him himself, he'd have gotten week, right? Even if he "didn't see the umpire".
I mean, it's a random one.
Nick Reidwoldt keeps saying "it's a push lead" but he pushed Gardiner in the back from what I can see.
Surely Patrick Cripps gets two weeks
Cripps will get off. Channel 7 all but said Ah Chee should be suspended for running into him.
Cripps offered a 2 week suspension
Two weeks. Don't know how you can appeal? On what grounds.
Careless - lowest grade
High impact - he knocked him out
High contact - clearly got him in the head, knocked out
Only way it can happen is if the hit is deemed in play and not careless. I can't see it. However, yes there will be a massive push for him to get off.
Crowd wise, the AFL would want Carlton in the finals over us…I’m surprised he got 2 weeks and wouldn’t surprise me to see his appeal get it dropped to 1. Conspiracy theories.
If Carlton appeal and lose, is the sanction increased by a week or not?
