Not sure if you are being serious here.
MRP / Trib. Charlie Cameron gets a week for dumping tackle on Lever - Tribunal = down to a fine.

Not sure why you are trying to protect a player who swung another player into a position that could cause injury.
Oh, thats right, your a Brizzy supporter.
Off to Bunnings you go.

I'm just challenging the inconsistency and the ability of Christian to manipulate the grading system to get the desired result. There is no way the impact on Lever was any worse than felt by Butler or Andrew. They went soft on Vlaustin and Greene from last week based on last year's standards. This was pointed out in the coverage last night. Unfortunately for Charlie we have returned to last years standards starting this week.
It's nothing to do with bias against Brisbane or high-profile VIC club conspiracy theories. It's just part of the eb and flow of the match review system. It's annoying when it's your player/ club that cops the whack though. It always is.
btw I was at Bunnings this morning.

The MRO just makes it up as he goes. Lever was uninjured and its Medium.
Couple of weeks ago a Hawthorn player was slammed head first into the ground in a tackle and was unaffected and no free and no MRO comment.
They really are driven by the media.
saved by the tacklee's head not hitting the turf. Maybe gets a fine?
Just like players were ducking, shrugging etc to get free's from high tackles could they also force a tackle to look more dumping, slinging by swinging their bodies around?
Pretty sure I have seen what looks like this a few times.
I even think this Cameron/Lever one has a bit of this to it.
Cameron did initially look like he was trying to pull Lever backward then it went more side on. Lever could have just been trying to struggle out of the tackle but it did look like the tackle took a couple of different trajectories.

Players and coaches are always one step ahead of the AFL.
Charlie Cameron? Did you feel the same way when Geelong challenged Brad Close last year?

Country roads take me home…
The rules of 2023 don't exist, you cannot compare those rules to what has now been set in stone in 2024. Cameron should get another week for this frivolous challenge. You cannot slam or dump tackle anymore.
You couldn't do it last year too, there were 21 suspensions for them by June last year with Close being one of them. I'm sure you were critical of Geelong for challenging then too, calling for Close to be given another week for the 'frivolous' challenge.
We saw Toby Greene get away with a sling tackle just last week.
That being said, while I think it's worth a challenge, I don't think he'll get off.
99% of "dump tackles" don't deserve weeks because the umpire is too slow to blow the whistle.
As for this case, after their players coming out demanding sicilys suspension last year, I say cop it

yeah Howes ribs dont like this!
It’s always about Collingwood isn’t it
Sicily is a full blown grub. Charlie nurses the opposition to full health on the field. Big difference.

The Time Sniper?

Charlie should know using that type of tackle is asking for trouble.
If the suspension stays i hope, he learns a personal and team lesson.
Charlies only hope in my opinion is Lever did not have both arms pinned well before contact with the ground.
So, Lever had some control to protect himself from the tackle.
