That is such a horrible take. You should genuinely be embarrassed if that's what you honestly think.

Why?
Wouldn’t be the first player to exaggerate contact and wouldn’t be the last
Players now throw the head back into the turf to win dangerous tackle free kicks
I’m not having a go
Good on him, feel the contact and make sure he gets paid the free for it
I'm not sure what the relevance of this is?

To suggest it was a dive is playing down what is an extremely poor action from Sonsie. It's football not boxing.

I’m not playing down Sonsies actions at all
Ive said all along I thought the punishment should be 4 weeks minimum purely for the action and more depending on the medical report
What Sonsie did was a dog act and shouldn’t be seen on the footy field but that doesn’t mean that Cappellari didn’t put some mayo on it either
I’m happy Sonsie got three weeks, as it falls mostly in line with similar acts we have seen this season.
I also hope it provides impetus for a review of the role of the MRO and tribunal, and their grading systems. An act like Sonsie’s deserves far more than three weeks. As have a few others this season. The system needs to be scrapped and re-built to reflect this.
