I reckon Houli was reckless > high > high

3 - 4. Early plea down to 2-3.

Slipping off his shoulder makes me lean towards 2.

Case closed.

Toby Green is a grub though

It's all who you are lets be serious - Buddy lifts his elbow and hits a guy in the head every other week, and when was the last time he was suspended?

AFL want the best players playing the game each week. Simple. MRP will never be consistent.

Exactly my point before Wedgie brought up race for absolutely no reason.

Intentional>High .. Questionable as to whether "in play".

(imho) Should be 4 weeks, down to 3 for such a good record.

I must be the only person in the country that thought 2x matches was right.

To me i didn't think Houli looked at him and deliberately smacked him in the face - looked like he swung his arm around to obviously hit the player across the arm, it slid off the shoulder into the jaw.

Also they said it was an elbow but it looks more like fist/forearm to me.

Maybe if the Carlton player wasn't trying to rape him off the ball he wouldn't have swung back like that.. but if he collects him a couple inches lower then the player has a dead arm and nothing more is said.

Not just you mate, and I'm sure if Houli was a white Christian a lot more people would agree with us.

Got nothing to do with his background and his race/religion shouldn't of even been brought into the equation by him or his defence team. Think more people are pissed off at the system than at Houli. A lot of people would of been comfortable had it been 3 down to 2 but once it went to the tribunal and he was found guilty and the deliberation on intent took less than 5 minutes then it has to be a more severe penalty. You can't have intentional and careless gradings attracting the same penalty

I hope Clayton Oliver the pastey white dog gets weeks too. F**kin whities!

I like you too.

Are you gonna be at Ingle Farm this weekend?

I'm possibly suiting up for the D's for Havens.

Toughest kid on the AFL. Not a diver and doesnt want to look like one.

Haha! Yes do it! I'll be down there to have a look at our C grade and a few players - plus i'm eager to see how Josh Thorton goes in the ruck for NH

I haven't seen the incident with Houli, but from comments I've read it sounds exactly like what Barry Hall did to the West Coast player (Brent Staker I think it was).

Not even close.

Houli I believe had zero intent.

Yeah I'd agree with that. The only real similarity is both Hall and Houli lashed out in frustration at close attention, but the manner in which they did was very different.

[woodublieve12]

AFL appealed the decision

[Q.]

The social media outrage at Houli's suspension is strangely disproportionate.

Just flung his arm / fist back to swipe at an E Wasp?

THE AFL will appeal what it believes is a “manifestly inadequate” two-game ban handed to Richmond defender Bachar Houli by the tribunal on Tuesday night.

In an unprecedented action, the AFL notified both the appeals board and the Tigers just before midday on Wednesday to confirm it would appeal the decision on Thursday evening.

“The AFL has determined it will appeal the Bachar Houli tribunal case on the grounds that the sanction was manifestly inadequate,” the AFL said in a statement.

It is the first time the AFL has ever appealed a tribunal decision.

Houli was suspended for two games after an incident that saw Carlton’s Jed Lamb knocked out during Sunday’s clash at the MCG.

He had been referred directly to the tribunal by the MRP, where he was found guilty of intentionally striking the Blues forward.
