Opens the door for heeney to appeal and for it to be downgraded to a fine.
Rankine harsh there...4 weeks ridiculous.
Appears 1 set of rules east of the vic/sa border and those west of it.

Can you actually place bets with betting providers on this sort of thing? Genuinely curious.

Love how you go to watch a video clip on AFL.com and they still play ads before it starts like this grubby organisation isn't rolling in cash enough just to offer 30 seconds of content up for free.
They probably won't bother as it would start as 1.01 for him to get off.
Absolutely. Only difference to that is Butters is a Brownlow favorite so him whacking people off the ball is having a blind eye turned to it at the moment.
Rankine picked the bloke off when he wasn't looking and concussed him.
Going of their guidelines, that's 4 weeks every time.
No idea. Highly doubt it.
Just saw the Heeney one - wasn’t much in that at all. Heeney wasn’t even looking at him.
Suspect they challenge and are successful.

Sam Darcy's was way worse and only got 2 week .
Then you have Maynard who got off Scott free for a way worse bump that ended a career

It looked like his jumper was being held and he was just trying knock the hand away .
This is the league giving it a week to look like they care knowing he gets off at the tribunal
I thought the Heeney one looked bizarre in that he look like he was free of Webster but wanted to double back knowing that Webster would look to grapple him and lashed out probably to stop the arms from getting hold of him but got him high.
I don't think it matters he wasn't looking and apparently there is some new interpretation about off ball hits now not being able to be graded as careless.
So I'm keen to see how the AFL wiggle out of this one.
However if they add the potential to injure...

People upset about a Swan getting a week for whacking a Saint as he starts his lead. Times sure have changed.
Darcy was lucky he only got 2 weeks.
He didn't concuss Maynard though.
The Tribunal will downgrade it from Intentional to careless and he will get a fine.
Or just say insufficient force to warrant a report.

Yep he took the 2 weeks without hesitation.
Way worse than Reid sling tackle that was also 2 weeks
'Not for profit' organisation.

Hence not having big dollars on him for the Chaz!
It's not over yet. Appeals Board still to go.
That route has been successfully used before.

Hard to consider the Brownlow has any future credibility should Heeney win it this year but be ineligible.
Worst outcome would be Neale somehow ending in 2nd place behind him.
If that happened that might be a sufficient trigger for me to give up on AFL entirely, such would a result like that grossly misrepresent the best player this year, as well as Neale's historic standing in the game.
Anyone else having a right ol chuckle at the Heeney video post verdict? They're acting like he's been indicted on serious criminal charges or something
