Ryan Nyhuis tackle on Robbie Gray

I have a bad feeling and I hope that I am wrong....But Nyhuis has agreed to 3, the AFL has agreed to 3...I think they will say 4 :(
If both parties suggest 3 I can't imagine he would get more.

To me it suggests that Freo are not well prepared or don't want the back lash in trying to defend it.

I thought that 2 would be appropriate.

Freo has a long and pathetic history of not contesting these things. Its Chris Bond's way of dealing with things but its ok because its others who wear the cost, not Bond
 
At least it's not something insane like 4 or 5 weeks like idiots in the media were calling for.

That said, 3 is an escalation on what we've seen and puts players on notice that it's going to be stamped on.
 
I have no probs with this, as long as the tribunal is consistent.

A baseline has been set, next similar incident = 3 weeks.
If say Dangerfield done it in r22 on the eve of the finals you really think he will get 3 weeks?

Not sure there are many “if any” doctors working at a club or in general practice prepared to say “he nearly died or needs a head reconstruction” and then allow the player to play the following week. Massive over-reach. I have no doubt the club doctor will say he was knocked out and prior to playing again (and in line with AFL rules) will need to go through all necessary tests. I personally believe the likely-hood of him playing this weekend would be zero.
You realise I was exaggerating, don’t you?

3 is too steep imo. Thought it deserved 2 similar to Gibbs on Gray a few years ago, although think the Gibbs tackle was much more of a 'sling'.
As long as they are consistent from now, but we all know that won't be the case if a more well know player was to sling.
 
Still waiting on our “massive form” for doing this?

This is one live incident. Can you please provide others to support your claim?
What do you expect from Port - they did the same thing when Nic Nat was up on report earlier in the year when he got a week. Ports medical team are inclined to exaggerate the situation a bit! Think Nyhuis definitely deserved 2 weeks but perhaps 3 was too many.
