Jed Lamb can accept $2000 sanction, striking MBontempelli.
Devon Smith was an inch away from doing a Gaff, very lucky he's not facing a 6 week ban.
Ellis' hit to the stomach of Toby was a real dog act - happened right in front of me.
Quote:
THREE Richmond stars have narrowly avoided missing the first week of finals.
Brandon Ellis, David Astbury and Jack Graham were all offered fines in the wake of the Tigers' narrow win over the Western Bulldogs. A suspension would have seen them miss the qualifying final against Hawthorn.
Ellis was offered a $2000 sanction for striking Toby McLean, Graham for striking Dale Morris and Astbury for misconduct against Fergus Greene.
If the AFL doesn't come out this week and ban this practise then they should face the consequences when there is a serious injuryQuote:
Toby Greene cleared contact NNewman. Before ball arrives, Greene extends his leg and pushes player Newman, before completing the mark. Force used was below that required for a charge to be laid. No further action taken.
They should definitely do something for next season. They most definitely won't do anything about it this season.
Protection of players - surely they can just put a stop to it now? Why wait, what is the point.
Something should have been done when Dahl got his faced kicked in. I bet if it was Dangerfield or Dusty getting a kick in the face, they would have changed it then and there.
