With the way the MRP has come down on head high contact, you'de think a blatant elbow to the face would be worth 6 weeks???

He is, always has been and always will be a canine. good riddance
I said 5 weeks as soon as it happened but hoping for more. 
I agree 100%
He'll get 4 but with a bad record it will be extended to 5, thats my bet.
glad we got rid of him

Well, the focus of the new rules re head high contact is actually about protecting a guy with his head down over the ball. Solomons hit wasnt one of those "front on to go a guy with head down" scenarios.
That said, he clearly raised the elbow, so it will be striking to the head and the fact that his opponent was knocked senseless and couldnt return wont help. I reckon the offence will get about 3 but I have no idea how many carry over points etc that Solly has.

He changed his colours , but he will always be an Essendon dog to me . Add his kneeing mate Johnson to that list . Ling is a tough man , and will relish the next time they meet
That is if Soloman is still playing next year .
he plays no different to king carey to be honest. hard and unfair, just nowhere near as good as carey

Perfect defense, 0 weeks..... "But he's a ranga sir"
Cleavy
Hall of Famer
If it was up to me, he'd be out for the rest of the season.
Dog act (but not surprising). Nor was Mark Johnson's 'cheap shot' knee. Why Freo, a team with discipline problems, would go and get Mark Harvey, Mark Johnson and Dean Solomon is mind-boggling (apart from the fact that Harvey was a huge risk and Johnson and Solomon were already gone).

Remember when Soloman got offered big bucks to leave essendon and go to richmond - and he turned it down! only to have essendon thank him by sending him to play as a knuckleman for the crappiest team in the crappiest place in the country. Karma - now he will retire as a sniping dog

Nowhere near as good and nowhere near as courageous . I stand by my comment that he will always be an Essendon dog . Sorry to offend SS , that's just how i feel about him .

Fail
Ah the old "Bary Hall defense" , disgraceful by Soloman, although no surprise he's been a knucklehead his whole career.

To be honest i think he meant to hit him with a bicep of the shoulder rather then the point, he mistimed it, 3-4 weeks would be a fair result.
The real difference is that, with Solomans momentum, body being behind the elbow, the pointiness and low impact area of an elbow, Solomans act had much more potential for serious damage than Halls hit.
It was every bit as intentional and Ling could not have expected to be hit in the head. He should be in SERIOUS trouble.
