The hit didn't even get him high, but they'll still wanna make an example of him. 2 weeks is fair.

Split second is when you brace for contact, not when you've run 5-10m at pace and tuck your shoulder. Houston wasn't bracing for contact.I dont think it saves him at all, I think it puts him in the 4 down to 3 range because it was split second, in play and he's not a dirty player.
We'll see where the dust settles soon enough.
Either way, Port will get a glimpse of life post Houston should he indeed leave.
We move on because thats all you can do.
If you say so.Split second is when you brace for contact, not when you've run 5-10m at pace and tuck your shoulder. Houston wasn't bracing for contact.
The AFL fund Port. All they have to do is say no, you won't challenge it.AFL could give Houston 3 weeks, punish him for the hit but allow him and save on legal costs fighting the case. Port accept, save on legal costs.
AFL then come out and officially ban the bump outright resulting in free kicks, and suspensions.
AFL have done their job.
Split second you say? Ok.I dont think it saves him at all, I think it puts him in the 4 down to 3 range because it was split second, in play and he's not a dirty player.

Rankine was actually knocked out.
Were you there, I was and had a perfect side on view.Split second you say? Ok.
We will see where it settles.
I'm pretty confident it will be closer to 7 than 3.
And thats exactly how it appeared live in real time.Only reason for the uproar
I thought it was a tough contest with a bad result.
What? Can't miss a Grand Final after KO an opposition player with a front on bump? So if it was the Grand Final in 2 weeks time, he would have only received a week lol.Fairly clear cut this one.
Elected to bump. Knocked him out. Suspension.
Probably only 3 weeks though. Can't miss a potential grand final for that.
No current season stats available
Obviously not, but at 5 weeks out there is room for consideration and I believe considering Dans reputation/record in the game, there is room for a degree of leniency on this occasion.What?

What's your point? I'm sure a lot of things was done 3 decades ago which can't be done now given what we know about concussion. Hall would be given a life suspension given his right hook on Staker now.Mark Ricciuto knock on kemp was similar in 96, can't remember but i think it was play on and no suspension for roo.
houston used his body as a battering ram and hall used his fist.... my point is the brutal but fair bump is now outlawed.What's your point? I'm sure a lot of things was done 3 decades ago which can't be done now given what we know about concussion. Hall would be given a life suspension given his right hook on Staker now.
What consideration? Rankine was never suspended and still got 4 weeks after causing a concussion with a clash of head, Houston hit Rankine on the head with his shoulder which meant he got himself in a position when the collision occurred were he eliminated himself getting injured. Only Rankine was in the vulnerable position and only he could have received a serious injury.Obviously not, but at 5 weeks out there is room for consideration and I believe considering Dans reputation/record in the game, there is room for a degree of leniency on this occasion.
I hope for his sake, so this isnt how he goes out at Port if he does decide to leave, that they give him that hope.
You’ll never win the Maynard argument with Collingwood flogs which tells you all you need to know about where they are coming fromRubbish that Maynard's was an unfortunate accident.
Can you honestly tell me if it was one of Maynard's team mates he was coming down on he would have dropped the shoulder like that ?
Every player this season is getting maynard loading on suspensions because the VFL look like clowns after he ended Bradshaws career and they let him off Scott free .

I reckon you’re the exception to the rule when it comes to Collingwood supporters PistolDont get the Maynard simpletons fired up again. They refuse to acknowledge the rule change
I think this far out they'll pull up at 3. Any closer in and he'd miss yes.
So this is half as bad as Parker’s? It’s less than SPP’s one? It’s better than Wrights one which was in a marking contest? Don’t buy it, surely at the absolute minimum it’s a 4 week ban and that’s at the least should be 5.
