You scared me BAD. I thought Hunter had been given a week (this week) and went searching on line for what the hell he did!!

Fyfe "to come under scrutiny" for a late hit to Greenwood. I am not sure how they would assess it (I have stopped guessing) but I am more interested to see if they actually look at this one (they completely swept the last one under the rug).
Another Monday, another Fyfe "nothing to see here" is my guess.

If Fyfe doesn't go for that Christian might as well start looking for a new gig for 2019.
Double up
Its a forearm to the head of a player who's eyes are on the ball. I don't know who taught Nat Fyfe to spoil but that was ugly .
It was a rare time I had the footy on and saw it when it happened. It was amazing how quick the commentary team hosed the fire down, although it was actually BT that said he could be in trouble. Like Mantis said a no name player will get a week, a big named player like Fyfe will get nothing.
Got a week.
Well I’ll be. Ban upheld.
Cameron facing scrutiny for brutal KO - http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-2...t-by-crude-hit
Fill in the blank: Jeremy Cameron will get ___________________ weeks.
I'll start by saying three.
Jeremy Cameron will get five weeks.
Off with a reprimand because GWS. That nasty lions player was coming right at him
That shit belongs in the eighties.
Based on intent and result if the AFEL are fair dinkum he'll get six weeks.
Because they're not he'll get half that.
3 weeks, deserves 6. I still remember that prick taking out JJ and got off.
With finals on the line for GWS/AFL... 2 weeks.
That one action decided the result - Harris Andrews is the Lions' best player - GWS should be stripped of the 4 points, Cameron should have been sent off and be given an 8 week suspension - worst on field incident since Hall on Staker.
I realise i’m In the minority - but I didn’t think Cameron’s was as bad as how its being reported. He’s come flying out from full forward, and was reckless and ultimately ended up half way between attacking the ball and closing up to protect himself with Andrews coming back into the contest - but its being spoken about like Lockett v Caven.
If its up to me, he gets two weeks. He didn’t line him up, he was reckless in a contest at very high speed.
What would Redpath receive it was him nor Cameron? Not that Red is that despicable. Cameron had his elbow out, I am not so sure it was instinctual. Smug campaigner, hope he receives a big sanction but being a plastic orange who knows?
Surely Higgins will go for at least one of the three cheap shots he executed into our players faces (two were fists one was an elbow).
All three of our players were on their backs on the ground after the whistle had gone and play was dead too (actually one might have been wrapping him up in a tackle).
The broadcast kept showing the slow motion vision of each incident and JB (and the rest of the commentary team) refused to talk about them. Should get a week for each hit under the Hunter precedent.
I would have thought that heroically taking a player out from behind and breaking ribs like Ziebull did to Cloke last year would have attracted a sanction, but no, apparantly that sort of cowardice is to be admired.
But to quote my dear old nanna, North are Just a bunch of cow *!*!*!*!ers.
IMO his intent was the ball and then to protect himself, two weeks would be about right.
Love to see the flog Higgins get weeks ( he won't), first win for him against us and he carried on after the final siren like he'd won the 2016 flag.
Don't agree. What was his elbow doing up like that? It was not involved in the play.
I think it's as close to a life ban (and Cameron shouldn't play for the rest of the year and also be warned that if anything like that happens again then he can find a new sport to play) as I've ever seen. Cameron could have killed his opponent doing that. Someone said earlier that GWS should have their match points taken away, that should just be the start of the sanctions.
I’m sorry - but I think that is ridiculous and way off. Close to a life ban, and probably shouldn’t play again this year?
I just can’t fathom how you can arrive there from that incident.
The action was actually contributed to by Cameron being in two minds and half pulling out.
6 weeks.
What shits me the most is all and sundry coming out to say "he's a ball player", "he's not a dirty player", etc. He pretty clearly is a dirty player, because he did probably the doggest act possible in running though a guy showing actual courage. There's nothing tough or cool about running full force at someone with an elbow, its just low and soft, and he should be demonised accordingly for it. If he isn't a dirty player then no one in the history of the sport has been.
The media have an obsession with going soft on the players in the wake of violence or incident, on or off field, belying their job and insulting the intelligence of the fan. It's really annoying and I wish someone would just commentate in a manner fitting of the act, rather than trying to force this false narrative that everyone regardless of action is a good guy because they're good footballers.
This whole 'he was trying to protect himself' story is *!*!*!*!ing well sickening to listen to.
Harris Andrews had eyes for the ball. Nothing more. As soon as Cameron saw him coming, he completely changed his approach. At that point, whether or not he was trying to protect himself or trying to elbow him in the head becomes completely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
He put his elbow out and knocked a player out while he was still in mid air. If the AFL's counsel at the tribunal don't push very hard for this to be marked deliberate I want to hear someone reputable in the media crying foul.

Spent a fair chunk of today in hospital.
High impact doesn't do this one justice. I wish there was a way Michael Christian could circumvent the guidelines and grade it as severe impact because that's what it is.
Come to think of it, he probably wouldn't even if he could...
EDIT: Severe impact is the highest allowable. Disregard.
Didn't he clean up and knock out JJ in Canberra a few years back ? Not sure he was sanctioned for it. Different incident but he's not forceful contact averse.
Edit : Was 2013, dislocated JJs shoulder with a massive bump which was deemed legal at the time.
Edit 2 : Found video. Link
Edit 3 : Already mentioned earlier.
If the dickhead bothered to try and get the ball instead of fight everyone in the 2016 PF they might have won the match.
