When Ed got whacked in the throat a few years ago and was gravely hurt from it, how many weeks did the Richmond player end up getting? The hundreds of whacks to the throat that Martin didn't get cited for..... regardless of whether Fog is injured, I'd still for my record appreciate the club support me on clearing my name.
Was Cotchin who stiff-armed Ed in the throat. But yeah, I’m surprised that more players haven’t been injured playing Richmond.
 
Dees are appealing Pickett's 1 week suspension. He shouldve been given at least 2 weeks based on his history. Would love to know what the Dee's legal team could possibly come up with to get him off.
hahahha, i think he is my most disliked player in the comp. absolute thug, learn from your mistakes you idiot!

I think the club has quite simply read the room on this one.

There is very, very little to be gained by fighting this one. Fog is probably in need of a week off anyway, we're up against weak opposition on our own turf, and given the public sentiment is that the AFL gifted us the win they're not going to want to be seen to be letting one of our players off for a high hit as well. In isolation they're not reasons to give up on a strong challenge, but it's not a strong challenge despite what biased fans might think. It was careless, there was high contact (even if it started a smidge below the high mark), and under the "potential injury" clause it can certainly be argued as medium impact. It's a coin flip on whether the tribunal are prepared to disregard the potential impact and whether they'd concede that the initial contact being to the collarbone before sliding up is grounds to dismiss it entirely.

This is one where we just quietly take our 4 points and let the AFL have their "we're discouraging high contact and there is no Carlton Bias" moment. Keep our powder dry so when we do challenge a ban it's seen as a genuine challenge and not just "Carlton rolling out the lawyers again". Win when it matters.

I assume they're arguing contact was minimal but bloody hell, good luck.
 
So what happens to the stiff arm to the throat … is that one week now … it’s so fickle and depends what player goes up … that’s Dangerfield no chnace he gets a week and on the other hand that’s crippa we appeal

Two gripes both of which are kind of rhetorical questions but how does Butters and Crouch each receive two different outcomes for the exact same action? and how does Charlie Cameron end up with a fine for that tackle on Lever?

Honestly ridiculous decision making from the AFL not that I'm all that surprised
 
At a guess,
Crouch went man & then ball.
Butters bodylined the ball.

"Dangerous" tackles I feel are hard to adjudicate on as it seems somewhat vague as to what is or isn't.
