Agree. Ball changed direction, McCartin changes direction. I'd be dirty if a Carlton player got rubbed out for that.
Disgraceful decision.

That was a disgrace
This is unbelievable. Sonsie 'king hits' a bloke behind play and gets 3 weeks. The same suspension that Boyd got for tackling an opponent.
The system is completely broken.....although I'm not convinced we've heard the last of this.

They really have nfi what they're doing...
Apparently VFL wanted 5 weeks
Tribunal downgraded to 3 weeks
Putrid decision and outcome
Should have been 8 weeks minimum

Not really a king hit but Sonsie deserves a very healthy stint for that.
No issue with the McCartin outcome, there'd be much gnashing of teeth if one of our players missed for that.

The most incredulous thing, if McCartin concusses McAdam, rather than fracturing his cheekbone, he most likely gets three weeks.
The AFL won’t be sued for a fractured cheekbone, concussion however……
From my perspective the system is broken and needs to be overhauled.

Yep, it's the flaw of a system that seeks to create a direct correlation between outcome & penalty.
Where they're eventually going to have to write some huge cheques is when the system essentially rewards players more manufacturing knocks to the head - for a number of reasons it's in everyone's interest that this is all cleaned up.

Should be 8 weeks plus a big fine.This is unbelievable. Sonsie 'king hits' a bloke behind play and gets 3 weeks. The same suspension that Boyd got for tackling an opponent.

How many weeks did Barry Hall get for his king hit?
7 weeks, 15 years ago 2008
Thank god commonsense has prevailed. Hopefully he gets his right whack - should be minimum 6 weeks.

Watching that in real-time there was no actual eye gouge.
Just watched Toby’s two eye gouging incidents…what’s clear to me is that Toby’s intention in both cases was to cause damage to the players face…Weitering was trying to pull Toby’s head back and remove him off McGovern…not sure why Toby is comparing his dog acts to Weiterings
I can’t see any eye gouge.
Weitering initially grabs Greene by the jumper. As he drags him away, Greene’s arm is still around Gov’s throat in a chocking position. Then Weitering hands probably graze head on either side.
At most, careless high contact low impact & a fine. Greene contributed to it by not removing his arm from Gov’s throat & Jacob frantically tried to remove him & brushed him.
Doubt very much it reaches tribunal

Suspect a fine but Weitering is ****ing stupid for doing it. There was absolutely no need.

Maybe to ensure that his dump tackle whilst pinning Mitch's arms doesn't get the attention that it deserves?

Whilst I agree that this is nowhere near comparable to Toby's past efforts, there's no actual gouge and it looks like less of an issue in real-time, I also don't see how he doesn't get a week.
Fingers crossed for a fine.
Meanwhile Toby is getting no attention for the dangerous tackle, the forceful headlock or the nut punch to Gov.

Weitering moves his hand away the split second he realises it's on Greene's face.
Compare that to Greene who has Gov in a headlock the whole time and plays dumb, with an incredulous look on his face saying "what am I doing wrong?"
