I don't think the force was enough for a week, but gee the Carlton lawyers are laying it on thick.
If Mansell hadn't have ducked, Boyd still would have made head high contact.
Oh the irony of Blues saying a player accented contact to draw a free resulting in a report
We don't lose too many.Are your suggesting that if any team has had a player duck into a tackle, then they shouldn't be allowed to use it as a tribunal defence? Are Carlton the flagship for these sort of incidents suddenly?
Poor Zita
Tribunal actually made up its mind 2.5hrs ago, they've just had four separate lawyers look at their wording of the finding to make sure there's no Cripps rule of law loophole

Plot twist: No one is there, they're all at the pub.Or they are looking for a way to insert a flawed finding.
Do they get paid by the hour?

That's a kind of bizarre and easily disproven theory. Cripps got "suspended" with 2 rounds left against Brisbane. Lachie Neale got the three votes in that game which put him one vote ahead. Cripps got 3 votes in the last game against Collingwood and Neale got 1 which meant that Cripps won by 1 vote. So Cripps was behind when he got rubbed out and would have had no chance of winning if the suspension held. If the suspension held Neale would have won by one vote from Touk Miller with Cripps third.Surely you remember. Cripps got 2 weeks for something literally every player gets 2 weeks for. Then during the Tribunal the AFL "forgot" to mention anything about the incident and the charge and just said 2 weeks.
Then after the Tribunal gave 2 weeks Carlton appealed because the AFL failed to actually set out the case so the Appeal was upheld.
Then the AFL went "ooopsies" and decided not to go through the process properly and actually enforce their penalties.
Then a month later Cripps won the Brownlow.
The AFL knew the votes and knew he was going to win and found a way to manufacture him getting away with it.
They dont seem so careless and quick to surrender when its guys who arent winning the Brownlow.

Except if cripps missed 2 weeks he wouldnt have got the 3 votes vs collingwood that won him the brownlow in the final rounds and someone else would have won it.Surely you remember.

2017 Dusty punched players in 3 separate games. No suspensions. Brownlow medalist.1 vote off and if gone for 2 weeks the VIC media would have had a field day with outrage over Cripps being robbed of a chance of a lifetime.
If he was 10 votes off the AFL would have ensured he got his 2 weeks.
They absolutely treat players differently. A few years before Fyfe got the maximum number of fines meaning the next would be a week off and the AFL stopped pinging him when doing clearly sanctionable things - in one game late in that season2 gut punches and a dropped knee on a player.

2024 Butters has been charged by the MRO 4 times for punches. Nothing but fines.
After seeing the dude on Kayo, I wouldn't be surprised.Plot twist: No one is there, they're all at the pub.
Pretty sure your mixing up Dusty with Cotchin in 17. Cotchin had 3 fines and the AFL said back then it was 3 fines then 1 week. That is why everyone loses their mind about the preliminary final.2017 Dusty punched players in 3 separate games. No suspensions. Brownlow medalist.

Downgraded from medium to low, so guilty but a fine instead of a week off
Cool
