2 is probably fair. 1 would've been lucky and 3 would've been rough,.

That isn't a discount. Its not a plea, there is nothing to plea, its an acceptance of the MRO's decision. The work experience kids at AFL Media should read the AFL's rules.

No! No! No! It is 2 weeks FULL STOP!
Drop him, Motlop and Sutcliffe anyway. Make a few positional re-jigs and bring in some changes. None of those 3 are good enough, and Butters' suspension should give none of them a reprieve.
Was there a concussion test done and is there a medical report available? If so, can we argue impact down to medium if any report is favourable ?

Butters get a two week rest before the finals. The problem is we have only got three players doing anything worthwhile up forward and Zak is one of them.
Indeed, but if it was anyone other than Zak I would be concerned. Zak is similar to an energiser bunny, he will be pumped to play finals. He will be close to best on ground!
Like the optimism but he's still a baby it's not ideal leading into a final.

No he isn’t..... one flush and you can get rid of a piece of shit. Ling continues to hang around.

I reckon he can play our practice games. So throw him in the centre and work him hard. I don’t think he’s the type to drop his head.
I don't think he is either but he's a young player basically missing a month of AFL match intensity going into a final.
Ok, he's the chunk that won''t flush.
Its just something we're going to have to learn to live with. I wouldn't want Butters curbing anything about his game. You win some, you lose some.

If there was ever a player who's gonna hate watching from the sidelines, Zac's your man.

Why is it just me that thinls 2 weeks is a pile of horse shit. He didn't try and hurt him. He braced for impact and accidentally got hit high. If the other guy wasn't running so fast it wouldnt have had as much impact. Why is butters being punished for the force of the other playee...whoever the hell it was

Such a pissweak sport now a days ffs
Because it has been pretty solid for a few years now- a bump to the head IS reportable and reported. If they get up- it is Low Impact or Medium Impact. If they are out of the game, it's High Impact.
I'm sure if you offer to pay the AFL's liability for damages for all the ex players who will sue for concussion injuries, the AFL will happily return the game to the 1970s head smashing contest that we all loved. If, however, you don't have a spare $500M to meet those damages claims, then you better get used to players being suspended for accidental head high bumps.
