Probably Addy: Headline + full spread on Page 1Can't find the pic or I would post it
LOL, what a joke. You just know that if it had been Zuthrie doing that to Banfield it would have been two weeks. This laughably lenient verdict on top of the "missed" 50 is the AFL sending a message, and it's an insulting one.
Agree to disagree then. I don't see how it could have been graded as anything other than intentional conduct + low impact + high contact = 1 week, and if it was us doing it that'd be the least I'd expect. Good thing for us that we're not dirty grubs, eh.
A piffling ****teenth.
It was a dog act, and the AFL's hardline against such actions is a piddly $1250??
Pfft.
If he used his knee, it's a week on the sidelines
But using his elbow instead in the manner he did, allows it to only be a fine
If it drew blood, it would then likely have been deemed striking and he's looking at time on the sideline
The elbow is as dangerous as a knee.
There was a deliberate intent to inflict contact to the head and / or neck.
Neither that intent, or the action, has a place on the footy field, and if the AFL were fair dinkum about cleaning the game up, and you know, protecting the head, they'd adjudicate it more severely.
There's plenty of instances (off the footy field) where applied pressure to the head / neck has had a serious outcome.
More on the report:
A TOTAL of 18 players have been fined after a fiery Saturday of action in round 22, while Port Adelaide ruck Jordon Sweet has avoided suspension for striking Melbourne's Clayton Oliver.
The League handed out a total of $42,500 worth of fines from Saturday's five games, a total bill that can be reduced to $27,500 if all 18 players accept their sanctions.

Pretty sure there could have been even more fines from our game as Luke Ryan ran straight into an umpire during a boundary
Phew, was a bit worried about that tackle Jez laid on Walker when Walker’s head hit the ground. He looked dazed for a few seconds but then bounced up and was involved in the next play.
I am glad the Freo player wasn't suspended for the Bruhn incidentMore on the report:

One of the weirdest contract extensions I have ever seen.It is. Darcys long contract will be a millstone for them.
This was his issue at Geelong and Geelong doesn’t tolerate bad defensive players.
What were they discussing?Thank you![]()

I feel less stoopid now
I thought they were discussing boots too,
The issue for me is that it was clear there was a secondary and deliberate action. That has always been THE issue in reports and MRO or whatever.The elbow is as dangerous as a knee.
