He turned and braces for contact. Straight forward suspension. 4 weeks? Eh, not sure, but when you give 3 games for the Weideman suspension then yeah...
it's hard to know what he could have even done differently
Yeah, shouldn't brace. Should've went head on into the guy and awarded himself a brain injury.

He's a good Italian boy, I'd have got his Nonna to make the tribunal some lasagna, would get off on appeal for sure.

His Nonna died not long ago unfortunately...
Maybe his nonno could make them an offer they can't refuse?

At no point in the video was Visentini at risk of hitting his head. He looks to be significantly taller than his opponent, who was also bending down.
This is a really weird hill to try to die on.
Exactly.

It seems the 4 weeks comes from that he was 8-10cm taller and the CGS kid ran into his shoulder.

Yet again, they don’t challenge.
It’s odd, and quite frankly soft of the club to not show some fight for their players.

Mate we challenged Weideman when he literally had his legs taken out from under him. It wasn't a suspendable action and it was still upheld. It should have been a free kick to Weideman but that didn't matter. Go back to the Weideman thread. Watch what he was banned for. That got upheld. That should tell you about the chances of ever overturning anything at the VFL tribunal.
This was very much a suspendable action. He turned and braced. Was the ban excessive? Absolutely, but we were never gonna get anything but 5 weeks if we challenged. Would you rather fight the ban and have him miss the first 4 games next year or not fight it and have him miss the first 3? Those are your options. There is no option c.

Happy to keep the conversation going here ant555, could Vigo feasibly become a permanent fwd who fills in in the ruck?
showed some promising signs at times this year at VFL level. The 3 goal game v Southport was probably his best. I agree (from your post in the other thread), he does have some genuine fwd craft, unsure if has the capacity to be a fwd (almost) full time

His best form so far has been as a forward. If he makes it and that is if as he still has to keep getting better he will be a forward / ruck in my view. His forward craft looks like he has something to work with. His ruck craft is still a bit plain.

fingers crossed we see him come on. A genuine fwd who can chop out in the ruck is something we've missed sans Peter Wright for some time
