I have mate. Really poor form from nank the tank. Deliberate act to gain the upper hand by taking out a key defender.
Didn't say it wasn't poor. If you think it's worse than Stewart's you need your eyes checked.

Tell me why it's not very similar? Both never had the ball at the time, both high and knocked player out. Add in the Degoey suspension who only got 3.If you think it wasn’t then you need yours checked mate.
Lloyd disposed of the ball about a minute before Nankervis got there. It's like the scene from the Austin Powers movie with the steamroller.
I completely agree re not giving the power to any of the on field umpires. On video review last night's incident would have taken someone about 1 minute to work out that it was suspension worthy and therefore a send off. Any doubt at all and the player should stay on and let the MRP handle it later.I'm inclined to agree. It shouldn't be like soccer where the sendoff means you are playing with one less on the field, but the infringing player should be out for the game. You should be able to activate your sub if you have a player sent off.
I'm not sure if I am comfortable with the on-field umpire making the call in the moment though. There needs to be a digital tribunal that can make the call before the start of the next quarter.
It is a drastic change to the game but a necessary one in the age of concussion.
If the 2003 grand final was played today, Jonathan Brown would have been subbed off with concussion literally 20 seconds into the game, and Scott Burns would have played the game out.
I think 3 weeks is fair given the JDG precedent. IMHO that is the “going rate” for such acts this year.Referred and that was obvious
3-5 weeks anywhere in there expecting 3 and that’s fine he’s not a dirty player
But the truth ain't oneYou've got 99 problems!
After watching the footage I cannot Tiger supporters defending Nankervis’ actions with any conviction. This is one to grin and bearIf Stewart copped 4 last year, then Toby will get similar. Minimum 3 ...You have to ask yourself why did he continue on with a bump that was totally unnecessary? Richmond fans will even find this hard to defend., then again most Richmond fans are thick as two planks...
Exactly, he doesn't have a leg to stand on and the more i see it, the more i think he will cop 4 weeks.After watching the footage I cannot Tiger supporters defending Nankervis’ actions with any conviction. This is one to grin and bear
Nank shouldve ironed out Franklin the campaigner instead.
But that is where they ARE different, because I am confident from +/-25 metres away Stewart was thinking “I’m going to line up Prestia and take him out”.Hopefully this will put a stop to Tigers supporters continuing to malign Tom Stewart. Incidents like this happen. I don’t know what Toby was thinking but I’d be confident it wasn’t “I’m going to line up Lloyd and take him out”
Given this case is going straight to the tribunal, 4 weeks
You’re confident eh? Well then I’m confident Nankervis thought “I’m 110kgs and when I bump Lloyd in the head he’ll be finished for the night”But that is where they ARE different, because I am confident from +/-25 metres away Stewart was thinking “I’m going to line up Prestia and take him out”.

You’re right, we don’t know.You’re confident eh? Well then I’m confident Nankervis thought “I’m 110kgs and when I bump Lloyd in the head he’ll be finished for the night”
Neither of us have a clue what the “perp” was thinking
Nice bro Prestia didn't even have the ball to begin with
..neither did Lloyd it was that long after he disposed of it.
Poor old Tiges everyone just picks on them, they're just misunderstood and unlucky. Big Nank, he's just big, slow and clumsy.
Are you blind?..neither did Lloyd it was that long after he disposed of it.
