MRP / Trib. Sam Weideman suspension (VFL)

[astrowizzle]

Like I said on it board. Is like someone punches another player in the head

I still don't see what Weideman was supposed to do in this situation, did the VFL tribunal say what he should have done when they upheld the suspension?

Yeah he shouldn't have contested the ball and had someone do an illegal drive across his knees. 3 weeks should get that out of him.

Our tribunal lawyers are also seem incompetent. Never seem to get anyone off/reduction in penalty.

Even if you somehow come to the conclusion that Weideman was at fault (I don’t see how any sane person can but we move on). How do they not argue down the grading of the contact? No concussion surely 2 weeks

The early guilty plea was 2 weeks.
