MRP / Trib. Tom Stewart - Result 4 week match suspension

[hawkman]

Would have to be looking at 3 for the hit on Prestia

 

[Muddiemoose]

At least 3

 

[Vikingnz]

4-6 weeks - worst we've seen for a long time.

 

[HairyO]

Mid season bye wasnt enough. Wanted 3 or 4 more.

 

[Profop]

Has to be four weeks surely?

 

[Slats]

Dirty act by Stewart, he deserves 3 weeks at a minimum.

 

[nahnah]

yeah thats a bad one

would be proud

 

[Barnzy]

It makes me upset every time I watch it. If AFL are serious about trying to eradicate dirty hits then it will be 5+ weeks

These sorts of hits have potential to cause long term brain issues for the player getting hit

Darren Milburn would be proud

Nothing in either of them imo.

 

[outabounds]

4-6 weeks - worst we've seen for a long time.

I would agree with that but he will get 3 because the narrative of him being really sorry has already begun on FOX Footy.

 

[Grockadoc]

Easily 3. Should be 4 if the AFL are serious about cracking down on head high hits.

 

[BF Tiger]

Red card required.

Dion targeted as well IMHO. I’ve no doubt Chris Scott

ordered a hit, just that I don’t think Stewart would’ve taken the same action against, for example, Jack Ross

Agree. Dirty coach and dirty team

 

[Testekill]

It's as blatant an example of a player going headhunting as you'll get. He needs to miss at least a month for that.

 

[_Mike_]

On face value 3-4 however with the MRP - 2

 

[kingswood71]

Poor hit. Would have to be 3+

 

[danster168]

High contact, intentional, high impact, early plea: 3 weeks?

 

[Rich01]

That’s his reputation gone.
Career will unfortunately be remembered this way with his dog act.

I wouldn't mind a red card system, that is adjudicated by league HQ for clear cut cases like this, or a Barry Hall/Andrew Gaff type incident. Run it like the NFL does with video review - have an ex senior umpire or MRP chairman watch every game live, and have the power to "call it in" so that a player gets disqualified from the game.

It makes me upset every time I watch it. If AFL are serious about trying to eradicate dirty hits then it will be 5+ weeks

Terrible to see him struggling to get up after the hit- I'd hate to see that happen to anyone I care about. Stewart get 3-4 weeks, but I 100% agree with you. If the AFL is really serious about sending a message to outlaw this type of act, it should be 6-8 weeks. 3 weeks is one week more than a light headbutt that doesn't risk serious neck, spinal or brain injury.

But the AFL will continue to over-penalise some actions, but come down light on the very bad incidents.

Settle.

A star who got it wrong, apart from a few salty Tigers nobody else will remember it.

Nah. Players take years to wear off these sorts of tags after grub acts. Tom Lynch crucified for much less.

 

[The hands of stone]

Should get 4 , will get 2-3

 

[flamethrower]

Memories of Milburn v Carlton, almost as bad as Solomon on Ling. Runs past the ball to intentionally pick off Prestia.

Danger did worse to Vlaustin and got nothing. They also won a far bigger game than this one. Have some faith in Richmond
