Not sure how Charlie gets 3 but a deliberate elbow by Alex Davies gets 1 week
It’s purely a result of the grading rubric used. A concussion is determined to be severe impact which for careless intent is 3 weeks at least. Since the player hit by Davies was fine and ran out the game it was low impact and intentional which is a week.
Most people I’d say are very frustrated that intentional acts completely unrelated to footy are getting light sentences when there’s been an understandable crackdown on actions that concuss.
Players need to start getting 2 weeks for any punch/hit to the head and a week for anything to the body. We have seen how much more careful players are when tackling so it seems like such an obvious response to help snuff out shit acts off the ball.
