McNeil was concussed by Rampe, and Rampe got off. Over the years we have been dudded by ridiculous decisions.

I’m still bitter about Todd Curley.
And Redpath.
While I agree that it would now be a suspension, it wasn't a lot different to the incident this year with Van Rooyen. Van Rooyed got off on appeal.
If we compare Chris Grant with the incident where Chris Judd broke the jaw of (I think) Pavlich and GOT OFF to get the Brownlow we know easily which incident most deserved a suspension.
Maynard sent straight to tribunal apparently from the AFEL GM charging him. Minimum three weeks if guilty. So season over if guilty.
Van rooyen gets one week.
Hopefully someone who doesn't accept or excuse violence, or someone who isn't an apologist for bullshit acts.
Maynard didn't have to ball up and make it count. There were ways he could have protected himself without concussing his opponent.
He only had one thing on his mind when he missed that smother, and that was inflicting maximum impact.
