Just saw that, he wants the AFL to appeal the decision, reckons Zak only got off 'cos he might be in the running for the Brownlow. **** him.
I’ll give him this - he’s consistent in his outrage that any head knock deserves weeks.
Zac was lucky Banfield pulled back and it was barely a clip, if he had leaned in and Zac gets him flush it’s weeks. But he didn’t so the decision is correct from the AFL.

I guess King's feelings on contact to the head are based on what school you attended:

David King is the worst AFL media has to offer, by some margin. Sits high and mighty with his self righteousness whilst he is a hypocrite of the highest order. Busted for drink driving, maybe he should consider his own duty of care.

Why? One’s going for the ball, the other’s going for the man. They actually got it right for once.

Is there a supporter base that loses any objectivity as quickly as the Crows fan base. Literally anything a player of ours does they sweat on, they promote as a murderous incident, etc. There's just this god damn obsession with making Port pay all the time. The hatred is just so blinding.
Any objective supporter should be looking at those 2 incidents for what they were. Similar, but still significantly different.
Crouch bumped to win the ball, his objective was to bump first and throw his body into the player with his head down over the ball. As soon as you take the head in that scenario you're in trouble. He is incredibly lucky to get away with 1 week. That sorta thing cost Pickett 6 weeks. That action, is EXACTLY why the entire rule exists. It's not VFL bias, it's not an Adelaide tax, it's actually an extremely lenient penalty they will take and "start the car".
Butters slid in UNDER Banfield, his objective was clearly ball first, he even got to the position to win the ball without a bump, and only made incidental contact between his hip and the head of Banfield. Butters could not have taken anymore action to avoid bumping and head high contact than he did. 100% he got him high, and it deserved a free kick, but the AFL made 100% the right call on that.
The fact anyone can't objectively see the difference is beyond me.
It's like SPP and Wright all over again. SPP, a guy that had a player spun into him (whilst absolutely doing the wrong thing in bumping at that time), had a split second instance occur where he made the wrong move. Was exactly the same as Wright, a player who in the last second turned and bumped in the split second. Both got the same suspensions as they should've, but the Crows fans I were talking to were all about SPP was after blood, Etc. Just more over the top, lack of objectivity, this pure lynch the Port people whenever you can mentality which is ridiculous.
reckon the vic boys are just as bad also jumping on anything that happens with Port.

it is funny to read how much they are crying about it
Don't forget the best part, North gifted West Coast the no.1 pick by winning a meaningless game in the last round.

Of course David King thinks Butters deserves to be suspended. And apparently it's all about the Brownlow.
FMD- both players committed to the ball and Banfield pulled out which is why his head collided with Butters ass.
WTF does this block head's consistent hatred of Port come from? And no it's not just about JHF - it pre-fates that.

during our game ... they were crying that Soldo (and butters) had no concussion test ????
and they were also saying how we would lose 4 points for playing Soldo for not test, I can only guess they were talking about Soldo getting poked in the eye.

I agree, the way people criticise others there’s a lot more perfection than I see

If Butters was suspended for that I'd quite happily give up on the AFL and go watch local footy.
Worst case for Butters would only be a fine anyway. Careless, high contact and low impact.
The AFL suspend on the outcome and not the action. I’d be all for changing that but you can’t pick and choose.
