Christian needs to be replaced
AFEL double standards. Nothing new, it will never change
What’s the difference ? A trickle of blood ?
Just insanely inconsistent . The whole impact of action is just shambolic
Croz got done for a potentially dangerous tackle. So Burgoyne's must have been potentially safe then. Christian is piss weak
I think the club needs a please explain. Not to point the finger at Burgoyne but in what the difference is from the match review and make it public.
* Two-match ban for Dan McStay’s high bump on Neville Jetta. Careless conduct / high impact
* Elliot Yeo also offered one-match ban for striking Collingwood’s Rupert Wills. Intentional conduct / low impact / high contact
* Essendon's Kyle Langford has also been banned for a game for front-on contact with Adelaide's Shane McAdam.
Absolutely agree with this. McStay merely braced for the hit from Jetta. It was entirely Jetta's action that caused the problem.
You can be sure if it was Lachie Neale instead of McStay it would be no case to answer.
It is just rubbish that there is a different outcome depending on the profile of the player.
Hawkins one match ban for being a thug again.
Elliot Yeo appeals and is free to play
Hawkins to challenge. Actually seems a bit unlucky to cop an intentional grading compared to most other cases. Looked like he was most likely intending to elbow the freo player in the chest at it went marginally high.
It was also extremely soft. Just a push back with the elbow and hardly a strike, but the Freo player made it look a whole lot worse.
Personally I cannot understand why Brisbane just accepted the McStay ban. Jetta ran into McStay with his head down.
Michael Christian seems to have lost all knowledge of what happens on a footy field.
In my opinion, If you throw a clenched fist or an elbow on any football field you deserve a suspension, especially recidivists like Hawkins.

Excellent news that Vandermeer has escaped with a fine. I was worried that action would get him a week as the MRO have clamped down on bumping front-on contact.
Emerging forward Cody Weightman has been offered a fine by the AFL Match Review Officer.
The third-gamer was charged with making contact with an umpire, in the second quarter of Monday night’s loss to Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Weightman can accept a $500 sanction with an early guilty plea.
Can't say I remember this incident.
Charges Laid:
Sam Mayes, Port Adelaide, has been charged with Rough Conduct (High Bump) against Josh Dunkley, Western Bulldogs, during the first quarter of the Round 10 match between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs, played at Adelaide Oval on Monday August 3.
In summary he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Medium Impact and High Contact. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction.
Cody Weightman, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with a first offence of Careless Contact with an Umpire during the second quarter of the Round 10 match between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs, played at Adelaide Oval on Monday August 3.
In summary, he can accept a $500 sanction with an early plea.
Based on available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Contact with an Umpire. The incident was classified as a $750 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $500 sanction with an early plea.
Sam Mayes given 1 match suspension for his hit on Dunks. IMO he’s lucky and another benefactor of the MROs shortsighted view in suspension based on outcome. Mayes chose to shoulder to the head well after the ball had cleared. There was absolutely no need for any contact and a few cms difference and it’s a total knockout for Dunks. He just about nearly did a boxers knockout punch to the chin. If the AFL is serious about stamping this stuff out, that should get 3-4 weeks.
How could that be classed as careless. It was absolutely intentional and after the ball had gone. That is the ACT that should cop at least 2 weeks as a minimum.
If you compare the one where McStay copped 2 weeks for the head butt from Neville Jetta it just shows the system is broken.
Intent should be penalised over outcome.
Suspensions are currently based on whether the recipient has a glass chin or not. Lucky for Mayes, Dunks can take a licking.
Clarko complains about something and it gets paid; Tom Papley has been charged with staging.
Came here the say the same thing, amazing isn't it?
To be fair it was an awful dive though, and the umpire fell for it as well.
Quote:
Tom Papley, Sydney Swans, has been charged with Staging (Fixed Financial Sanction) during the fourth quarter of the Round 10 match between Collingwood and the Sydney Swans, played at the Gabba on Thursday August 6.
In summary, he can accept a $500 sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Staging (Fixed Financial Sanction). The incident was classified as a $750 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $500 sanction with an early plea.
Papley's stunt was appalling but the AFEL have reverse engineered the game to the point where there are now five blokes indignantly appealing for a free, any free, at every contest in the hope someone strikes it lucky.
I cannot believe the advocation for a guy getting suspended for four weeks for that sling tackle mid season when there's been so many actions just as dangerous this year that have been either unpunished or only given a week.
Just an absolute shit show of moving goal posts on a really simple proposition.
Genuine Todd Curley moment.
Pretty harsh call
Needs to change his surname
That was a disgraceful tackle, multiple weeks is what it deserved.
It's interesting because its actually part of the game and obviously it was an horrendously dangerous attempt at the tackle.
However I think what Mayes did was as bad or worse. I guess the bump is part of the game too but that was a real take out move.
I would've been OK with two weeks for both incidents.
