Cousins from Hawks got 1 week for the exact same thing last week. Pull the other one.
Absolutely deserves a week.

Fk off look at Tom Mitchell's hit on Goldstein and he gets off. Bloody joke AFL.

You actually watch the context of the vision ablett jumps up to try and smother the over the top hand pass and collects him high with an open hand and a follow through forearm that does no damage at all.
Was not intentional as it had relevancy to a spoil attempt.
You actually look at the positioning of his arms and hands and it was positioning ready to spoil a Handpass, not take out a player.
Challenge asap

You think that's being attacked? Literally just said 'are you honestly comparing the two?' Attacking would be something along the lines of 'are you a f*cking idiot?' or something like that. Nothing of any ill will was said, your position was just questioned.
Might want to stay off big footy, or any other forums if you think that's what being attacked is...
There's the grounds for having this thrown out forthwith right there.

None of them deserve a week off, both incredibly soft, but one has to wonder, how Tom Mitchell gets off his last year and Gaz cops a week for this? Please try to justify that.
Was careless and you guys didn't appeal. Should have got off, and could have. If it was O'Meara, Stratton, Breust etc. I reckon you would have appealed
Mahlepi
Cancelled
Not the same
Cousins changed direction and went for him
Just be careful judging and think before you write and don't enter threads with biased or already closed minded views. Bad look for you and your club.
Wasn't me who originally said it...lol. Was just clarifying using context. I have no skin in this game. Just think you need to probably reassess what you think being 'attacked' is
Shield hand passes over the top and ablett jumps from across with two open palms and slides across smothering shiels face and the forearm follows.
It’s obviously a smother attempt that missed the mark but solely with intention of smothering the ball not to hit the player.
Should easily be able to clear with appeal as there was no intent to strike
Correct decision he should definitely miss 1 week! 
if you were playing any other team, I would be saying that it is a pathetic decision and he should get bonus points for smacking that prick.
Michael Christian just flips a coin i think.

You’d think 18 years of a good record would come into play...

I’m not surprised at all, thought a week is probably right.
No reason we shouldn’t challenge it though considering hipwood got a $2000 fine for pretty much the same thing.

has anyone thought perhaps his twitter like is related....hmmm....
The nonsense about 'leaving his feet' is intended to convey the image of someone who is desperately trying to initiate damaging impact on their opponent. When in fact Ablett is clearly jumping to try to intercept the footy as it is looped over him to Langford.
If he was interested in doing Shiel some damage, he would have led with his shoulder rather than his outstretched arms.
If the AFL upholds this suspension after the Cats have a chance to properly explain the biomechanics involved in the incident, it will just about be the clearest evidence yet of the arbitrary bias inherent in the system.
Stand strong, Geelong. Gaz must be defended from the idiocy of this charge being upheld. Get in there, state our case stridently, and let the common sense understanding of events then speak for itself.
No reasonable explanation of events could see what Gaz does in the course of play here as 'intentional'. Unless you're including his intent to stop the movement of the footy by the Essendon players involved in this particular incident.
Seriously, the AFL just gets more obtuse and ridiculous by the week.
