This is complete ineptitude but not because of Buddy, this is due to the ridiculous precedents made earlier in the year. I’m pretty sure this was deliberately set up with the ‘careless’ grading which is completely idiotic.
It’s not a Buddy problem, it’s an AFL problem. If you swing an elbow and hit the head, that is intentional and high, regardless of where you were aiming or how hard you hit and should be 2 weeks immediately

Almost wanted one of our guys to on the weekend just so he didn't take out five of ours.
As I said yesterday the Ryan hit is a three week incident in my book. The hit on Wilson should've been another week.
The AFL and tribunal can go and get ****ed both for letting Cruddy off and allowing the precedent to be set.

Love Buddy. Don't like this decision. Someone is going to end up with a fractured jaw or busted eye socket because 'it's ok to throw blind elbows when you are being tackled'.
See this is why i have no problem ditching my membership after this year i have a problem donating my money to this tin pot corrupt comp, Fremantle is irrelevant in the AFL’s eyes and this in just another decision that proves that.
Been ok since Judd copped Pav all those years back...
I know it's their job but when the Swans lawyer agrued it was really Ryan's fault it peeved me.
I wonder what would happen if a Docker, Sun, GWS, player threw a deliberately accidental elbow to the head of a tackler next week...

The fact that people get suspended for legitimate contests where there is accidental head contact, and then players can just throw an elbow 'carelessly' at a player in a vulnerable position is an absolute joke. No footballer has ever carelessly thrown an elbow at an opponent. The fact that his eye socket or cheek bone was not fractured should be irrelevant in the circumstances. The AFL really need to pull their heads in!
Ryan shouldn't have been next to him.
Luke should be honoured to recieve such a gift to his temple.
Unfortunately enabled elbow throwing Thugs will always be elbow throwing thugs...
But only to whack a Docker
He also concussed Pearce in a tackle...
Good game by Buddy.

The precedent was set in Rd 1
Deserved a week but based on previous acts this season I can see why they challenged, the AFL pretends to be tough on head high contact but they only care when it results in a concussion.
Still, love Buddy and glad he is playing this week.

The AFL has just banned boxing and sparring among players, effective immediately in response to head trauma.
Don't worry everyone, elbows to the head are still OK though...

I was laughed at at the time it happened because I said Buddy would get off. He's from a rugby state, the AFL wants a fan base in rugby states. He's a filthy prick. A bloody good footy player, but that shit is ordinary.
