Nah, rewatch the video in the OP. The tackle motion started well inbounds. Both players feet were still inbounds for the entire incident. The fact that they ended up out of bounds has no relevance. If the tackle started over the line I'd agree with you.

Piss weak. No malice. But no ones dead. So we move on. Hopefilly he gets another contract at the end of the year. Guys been injured a lot and has already missed a heap of footy
Cynical me asks, does he get a weeks discount if Grey plays this week ?. I know it's not going to happen, but did the MRP / tribunal take the length of Grey's unavailability into consideration for the penalty ?.
If Grey was concussed, from past experience the medicos would be going against their own advice to allow Grey to play. Concussed = 1 week holiday, at least.

Agreed, I knew Ryan was ****ed pretty much given that we're not a club that gets a good run at the tribunal.
Can't help but recall the Port supporters outrage regarding the Thomas hit on Selwood, which was potentially much more dangerous, was much more premeditated and had Selwood missing matches....
But now it is Grey missing, they are ok with a large suspension..... Go figure!!

Perhaps you have learnt a lesson then. BF is not the place to exaggerate.

I bet you are a lot of fun at parties?
Surely the term 'complete head reconstruction', which is not actually a real thing - gave it away?
Far out, could have sworn you were victorian for a minute there
When Nic Nat tackled Karl Amon, part of the AFL's argument was that it was unlikely that he would be available to play the following week.
Sure enough the teams come out a couple of days later and he is listed as "Omitted", so he was dropped.
Make this big song and dance and "hey this kid is gonna miss a week", which he did... because he was dropped.

I think the outrage was about Lindsay Thomas being treated a little differently to some other players.
How do you honestly feel about Walker getting a week for a similar incident to the one with Thomas/Selwood?

Why do you continue to make such dumb and stupid comments on B/F. Then again, don’t answer that question as your previous comments were just immature bullshit and your next response will be the same.

Whoa! Calm down champ! Did I get under your skin a bit? Look - if you are too autistic to understand some tongue in cheek humour or hyperbole then I feel sorry for you. Life must be dull.
Gray has been named to play this Saturday - so your personal beliefs are obviously spot on! *likelihood*
Thanks for the lesson mate. Reckon I'll ignore it and keep on posting the way I have.

Robbie Gray named to play, Hinkley on record as saying he passed all concussion tests.
Fail to see how tackling a player who had one arm free, without two motions yields 3 weeks when an elbow to the jaw of a player resulting in a heavy concussion and brain bleeding results in 5.
This has been the worst decision this year for mine.

The fact that Gray isnt missing any games (which is a good thing Port fans) means that the punishment is too excessive...

Yep the punishment looks even more excessive now.
We all know the sentence was based on outcome and not on the act, and now it turns out the outcome wasn't even what they expected.

Exactly, the tackle would have been applauded as brilliant if Robbie protected himself with his free arm.

I think it was a great tackle anyway...bit stiff to get 3 weeks. AFL as a body is insane however.
The phrase “ karma is a bitch “, could be heard in coming weeks.
Seriously, how can the Port medicos allow Grey to play ?. Duty of care and all that, long term effects for Grey ?.
Oh well, onto another week of footy.
He's easily one of the biggest flogs in the comp. Big time faux tough-guy. He's laid plenty of tackles like that before himself. Grabbing the throat is a dog act. Cant' wait for the day someone cleans him up.
Doesn’t have cracks at guys his size
Cameron gets 5 weeks and Andrews misses 4-5 weeks. Nyhuis gets 3 and Gray plays. WTF
