Very different incident. Embleys was deliberate running through a bloke with his head over the ball. Johnno was virtually standing still and the guy ran into him with his head down.

Saw it live but haven't seen the replay. Either you're all a bunch of hysterical girls or it looks dreadful on camera.
If the MRP want to punish WC they;ll let him off, so not sure whether to cross fingers for the former or latter.

I must be a hysterical girl because it's the biggest hit since Solomon on Ling IMO.
Could you imagine if someone lined up Judd/Ablett and they went off bleeding and with concussion and neck soreness? They'd be facing 8 weeks and it would be the biggest story all week.
yes we're hysterical girls, synonym Winners

Looks like you are blind and cant keep up with live play. Your gutless bastard had no intent in going for the ball and every intent of going for the head of Palmer.
Might pay in future for you to actually know what you are talking about before you comment. Needless to say the Weagles attempt to rough up Freo in a desperate attempt to win the game because they do not have the talent, Failed Again!!!

If one of our players had done it to an Eagle, there would have been pie throws galore.
Anyone got vision of it?
I suppose technically it makes no difference but the fact he did it to a players coming off a knee reco and 12 monthis out of the game, that had his head over the ball for his first possie makes it a real low act for mine. I was watching the game with my mate who's a weags fan and he was disgusted also.

There's vision on AFL's 8 games 8 moments vid.
One of many low acts by the dirty and desperate Eagles

This is exactly the reason the rule was brought in - what Embley did had the real possibility of major neck damage. (as it was, i think he hurt his neck anyway)
Although Palmer turned slightly into it - Embley was never coming from side-on.
I was ropable about Hurn's suspension - he was going for the ball and braced at the last instant.
However Embley ran head long into a bloke with his head down - if he gets a month I wouldn't have an issue.

Makes no difference whatsoever - not a technicality.
It was poor judgment regardless of the player - trying to make it worse because it was Palmer is a massive stretch. You could argue that you want would want your blokes putting pressure on rookies and those coming back into the game. Certainly Giansiricusa got his ribs tested first bounce on Friday night
We weren't the ones throwing hissy fits leaving the stadium early days of the fourth...
Fair assessment Strike. I believe he'll receive 4 with 3 on early plea... believe his record is fair enough.
There is also mention he will be under scrutiny for dishing a punch to the head on Crowley. (I think the tag finally got to him)

Not all of us are gormless on the Freo board.
Hits at the game usually look less worse than the infinite slow-mo replays on TV, IMO.

You're alright, gravy. I can call you gravy, can't I? 
Hits at the game are over in a split second and with 30 guys around the ball half the time all you see is one player down and another being wrestled by 3 opponents.
At least we have one less under-performing senior player to drop.

Ballantyne got 4 weeks ( I think ) for a hit high on the shoulder so Embley must get that & a bit more.
Absolutely did not look at the ball & could have easily changed his positioning if he wanted to.
