Haven't there been very similar incidents that have not been suspended this year, sure I heard that on the telecast last night.

Lever bounced straight back up and took the free kick, did not need to go off to be assessed, his head barely touched the ground... don't F ing tell me the AFL have suddenly decided to suspend the action and not the resultant injury or lack of injury like they have for ever and a day.
Really gives me the shites.

I’ve got no issue with any player getting suspended if there is consistency - which there’s not.
Hewett and Pendlebury belt Lachie and get fines yet Redman gets suspended.
Similarly, Green gets off and another tackle gets a fine - can’t remember the player a week or two ago and now Charlie gets a week.
It’s amateur hour over at VFL House.

Don't understand why it's medium impact and not low
Yes that wouldn't have bruised a grape, his hair grazed the ground, we should appeal the grading down to low impact.
Time to call Patty Cripps lawyer me thinks

The Charlie Cameron ban is proudly sponsored by the umpires who couldn't give the man 1 of the 5 free kicks he earned in the previous play. Absolutely incompetent muppets.

Less annoyed about losing Charlie for a week than I am about it being another example where we lose out at the tribunal for not being a big Victorian club.

Slowmo replay shows Lever angling his head down to exaggerate contact
Dunkley monstered Petracca last night. Has a habit of spanking oppo best mids.
It's a bit absurd that Lever literally had both arms free, doesn't even touch his head in pain, instantly gets up to try and find a player to kick to and then plays out the game and yet that is a weeks suspension...
If that is a week given the potential to cause injury, then every player that ducks their head into a tackle (to try and get a free kick) should be getting a week suspension too.
I get the fine to try and punish the action... but if there is literally 0% damage done, a week off seems pretty harsh.

Interesting listening to tonight’s the pre- game and they said that by the AFL not prescribing the Toby Greene tackle and just ignoring it that Brisbane won’t be able to use it as a defence, in that if it’s not assessed as in Greens, then we can’t use it as precedence. They said the AFL deliberately sneakily did it this was so anything not assessed can never be used as a defence as we will be if Charlie appeals.
In other words, precedents can only be used by a defence for offences graded by the VFL. Not graded such as Greens, can’t be used. Seriously how absurd.
Another VFL special; you dead set can’t make up the BS that they make. They essentially said it’ll be bad luck for Charlie.

Yeah but who...the obvious one was Neale but Fages said he wasn't going to do that in his 250th.
Which us ‘sub neale’ people are saying was a mistake. Obv all entitled to our view, but for me a team ruthlessly chasing a flag wouldn’t have cared about subbing out a bloke in his 250th (not even a major milestone like 300 is) and have been focussed on their best player being fit for a big game the next week.

What is driving me nuts is that we also have played 3 games in 13 days.

Ok then we will reference the Vlastuin tackle then…
Yer, there was nothing in the Toby Greene one IMO, Vlaustin was just as "bad" as Charlie's if not worse.

I just don’t see how that could be the case. I think a good lawyer rips that argument to pieces.Interesting listening to tonight’s the pre- game and they said that by the AFL not prescribing the Toby Greene tackle and just ignoring it that Brisbane won’t be able to use it as a defence, in that if it’s not assessed as in Greens, then we can’t use it as precedence.

The slo-mo of Charlie’s tackle shows Lever’s free arm bracing for contact on the ground first, followed by his shoulder and then finally his head. If his head hit the deck first and he got up and still played I would see the argument for a suspension but that’s not what happened.
On the basis of everything else similar this year he gets a fine at worst.
Has anyone got rubbed out when the guy with the ball has got straight up with zero duress looking for options ?
Christian is to paraphrase the words of Clarko a ( leave it to your imagination ) who toes the line and still involved with the Pies.
A decent lawyer should rip this decision to shreds.
Vlaustin got off one very similar to Charles as well
