2 week ban

Should’ve dropped the knees in, would’ve got off.
Should’ve gouged his eye, would’ve got off.
Should’ve stomped on his leg & sprigged him, would’ve got off.
Should’ve raised his elbow before contact to the head & struck him, would’ve got off.
Forget whether you think the bloke’s a flog or a shit leader, he’s been screwed over by a horribly inconsistent process.
Farcical.

I was going to post the same thing. This is worth 2 weeks but elbowing/forearming someone in the head is a fine.

The tribunal takes into consideration the impact being 'low' when Buddy for instance elbows his opponent in the head. They look at the injury (none) and take that into account but don't do the same with this one from Viney. In my mind, both should've got two.

I've been going on about this for years.
Penalise the action and consider the outcome (injury) when found guilty of the action.
Consider the Gaff/Brayshaw incident.

If gaff brushes his shoulder, with a clear punch then he might have got off.
Flushes him he gets 6 or whatever he got.

Penalising the action will stop it in its tracks.
Penalising the outcome is a mute point if, luckily, the action misses the target.
Throwing a punch, elbow, headbutt, ball grab, nipple cripple, whatever, is instantly penalised.

Imagine what ours would be if we could actually play football. Still good numbers for a team that has been a joke for 20 years

I've always been in agreeance, should miss for however long the person they injured missed and then some.

Having been involved in tribunal processes, including training tribunal commissioners a few years ago this is always how the tribunals were run.

Judge the intent and the action first and then apply a grading to penalty pending the severity.

Thats why you used to hear people getting reported for 'attempting to strike'. the intent and action were clear, the outcome was minimal due to luck or the skill of the person trying to strike! still needs to be penalised for taking a deliberate swing though.

I'm not sure when this pivoted to placing so much weight on the end result and not so much on the action that lead to it.

I think Essendon are the AFL equivalent of Liverpool, they seem to have closet supporters hidden all over the place.
