Could Port realistically appeal the 5 week suspension through a court of law and get it down to 2?
Pickett bumps high, hits the head, only 3 weeks. Previous record and player isn’t playing finals. Similar incident as one player goes for the ball unprotected, other player bumps and results in there being head high contact and concussion. Both incidences do not impact the concussed players teams finals chances as they are both out of contention.
Cite various cases over the years, Cripps, Maynard, Cotchin of players getting learnt sentences when involved in finals. Through a court of law those precedence would apply as a finals discount.

Given our first & most important defence was [checks notes] paint cans and vegemite, i'm inclined to believe #2. If I was in his spot, i'd be furious.I think the suspension throws up a couple of scenarios as well
1. He doesn't wanna leave Port on that note.
2. He thinks we handled the case poorly & has a bigger hard-on for going home than he already did.
Pissing off the AFL in the finals is not a good idea too
I hope we do.Could Port realistically appeal the 5 week suspension through a court of law and get it down to 2?

We don't need McKay.Houston going to Carlton.
Reports that Carlton are prepared to offload McKay to pursue Petracca. Port need to go all out and convince McKay to come here in the Houston trade.
Edit: last part is pure speculation, doubt he leaves Vic
Nah why would we want a contested marking key forward when we have the brute strength of Finlayson and Marshall up forward particularly when the former is such a sharp shooter himself.We don't need McKay.
He's a piss blaster.
Yaw, yaw move on it was done & dusted last weekI hope we do.
Its absolutely mindblowing to me that cases like Peter Wright and Kosi Pickett actually hit their opponents in the head, concuss them and get 4 and 3 weeks respectively. Izak Rankine hits a bloke miles off the ball and gets 4. There is not one comparable case to Dan's which got >4, its been 3 or 4 every single time.
Then you consider the GF aspect which has mattered every single time before this one, and the clean record which has mattered every single time except this one. Its a huge miscarriage of justice and should continue to be fought tooth and nail in my eyes.
We are going to get reamed during the finals no matter whatPissing off the AFL in the finals is not a good idea too
Kosis came after Dans.Yaw, yaw move on it was done & dusted last week
46.20 for the year. Not been watching much footy lately?We don't need McKay.
He's a piss blaster.
Has another 6 years on his contract46.20 for the year. Not been watching much footy lately?
It’s like comparing Vegamite to Marmite, no contest.I hate Ritz.
He's not 100% going. Do you know what its about?He is 100% going, guys lol. Its just a question what we get. Given the emergence of logan evans I think its good business honestly.
Lol…46.20 for the year. Not been watching much footy lately?
