This ****ing rule seems to apply only to Merrett. I thought it was an open hand

It was, see the video here

ps, God I hate it when Jobe keeps calling him Zachy, it's so cringeworthy.

Elbow tap apparently. Ess should appeal the fine but they won’t. It was so weak bc Zach is not that type of player or person.

How many others of these happen each week

Christian is a ****ing grub who should be removed from his job and never allowed on another afl paid position. He hates Essendon but he is supposedly a professional hahahaha

 

[Kong]

lol what? He shoved him in the chest.

It's dickhead behaviour, sure, but doesn't that happen dozens of times every weekend?

 

[bommer16]

It shouldn’t have been cited. I agree.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

how many of his suspensions have come off football actions that other players get away with.

could almost guarantee that if he'd done a tackle akin to dangerfield's last week, he'd have gotten 2 weeks for it and we wouldn't have appealed

Unfortunately they don't look at that, as shown by what happened to Wright and Weid. I wonder what the criteria is for the "good bloke" defence, because obviously it has nothing to do with actually being good person.

good bloke aka "afl likes me" defence

No good blokes play for Essendon

Pretty sure being able to surf in a suit is amongst the selection criteria.

Being head of the AFLPA probably helps too.

Spot on. It is ****ing laughable. No Collingwood player would be fined for that, ever.
Christian should just **** off!

 

[DERO]

Far out he is stiff. I have only just seen it. Wow.

 

[MattyB3150]

One of the softest fines I have seen. If they want to keep it consistent then there should be about 30 fines a match.

Essendon need to appeal this for the Zac's, the club's and us supporters same. We have been walked over consistently by umpires and the ****ing mrp and will continue to do so. Do you think Collingwood, Carlton or Hawthorn would let this shit happen. They would come out and d slam it. The club is spineless and has been for 20 years

Good old Michael hates us.

Btw, I think(?) the action happened before the hand shove, you notice Atkins already has his hand near his throat before Zach open hands him. Might’ve copped an elbow to the throat?

Christian is still a grub.

Christian is a $hit stain. He was probably hoping to elevate the severity to get Merrett suspended for the Pies game, but knew it was a bridge too far.

Club wanted to appeal. Merrett told them he just wants to move on to next week.

it's just really funny that the AFL placed the charge only days after the AFLPA made some noises about the fine system for player offences. It's not typically an argument that will win a lot of hearts (i'm pretty receptive to it personally), and then the AFL gives them the most insane example to use from here on out
