I believe your talking about the gut punch to mcguire, behind the play. Getting of that allowed him to play in the 05 GF.

The Tribunal's reasoning in downgrading Cameron's charge was as per the below. I've bolded the part where they will almost certainly draw a distinction compared to Barrass's case, and, unfortunately, rely on that to uphold the suspension.
TLDR: Big guy discrimination.
"The matters that cause us to downgrade this sanction from a one-week suspension to a fine commensurate with a low impact grading are as follows.
1) While this was careless, it was at the lower range of careless. Cameron knew Lever had one arm free. He is much smaller and lighter than Lever and, as he said, lost control of a tackle. If he didn't rotate 95-plus kilograms of Jake Lever, he would’ve landed squarely on his 74-kilogramme frame. It was careless but not grossly careless.We take into account Cameron's guilty plea, his acceptance that he could and should have released Lever’s arm.
2) While this was medium impact for the reasons we stated, Lever suffered no injury or apparent discomfort. The difference between this case and the three examples that were graded low impact was real but not significant.
3) The references from Eddie Betts and Gregory Egert provide impressive details of the work Cameron does in the Indigenous community.He is a role model with an impressive AFL career, it is something for those he connects with aspire to.
These matters are not irrelevant when we come to exercise our discretion in respect of a first suspendable offence when no injury was suffered and was neither intentional or grossly negligent.
Exceptional and compelling means what it says. It will be a rare case when all of the circumstances combine to result in an exercise of discretion to downgrade a sanction.This is such a case.We determine in our discretion the appropriate sanction is the fine that would be imposed on Cameron if this was graded as low impact."

You're right - my bad, I'd mentally merged my outrage at that campaigner haha
Walters is heavier than he looks. Easily 110 kegs.
Weight differential returns.
Barrass deserves to suspended more than Cameron because he is heavier

Some sources have been saying today, some tomorrow, so who knows.
Regardless, the tribunal only just finished with Hogan, still got Taekwondo Toby to go. If its tonight, it won't be for a while.

West Coast’s Tom Barrass will challenge his one-match rough conduct ban on Wednesday at 1pm AEST/11am AWST.

MRO/TRIBUNAL just as confusing as ever now.
Thought hogan would have his week upheld based on the AFL wanting to eliminate non footy acts.

50kg of it must be in his head as that body part seems to always hit the turf first.
I believe the over time wages were also covered out of Barrass' own pocket.

I saw Barrass at the zoo last weekend, helping a little boy who’d tripped over and bumped his head.
That kid? He grew up to become Nelson Mandela.

The #1 defence it, "it's Walters"
He clearly ducked as usual.

Hope our defence is just a compilation of Walters' flopping at every contest.
Would be worth the $10k just so we can use it to make gifs
