stoked, all i can say
Very very happy that it got thrown out but seriously, it should not have even been reported. It was crap and it has been treated as such.
In the words of Homer,
WOO HOO.

the worst part is that if there was a risk in him getting 2 games, one has to wonder if they would have challenged?
Seems amazing that it was clearly not reportable, and he could have ended up sitting out a week to avoid 2 - such is the chook lotto.

He has to be more careful, 5 visits means he has drawn the crabs, no need for that, especially if he is getting goals, give em a verbal and kick another one! Wasn't reportable though.

In the Herald Sun today they claimed that if a challenge failed it wouldn't increase his points enough to get him a second week so there was nothing to lose.

I couldn't agree more.

Thankfully they pulled their fingers out and made the right decision.

That was my point. If there was a risk that failing would give him 2, would we still have challenged?
If not, he would have sat the week out when in the end it took 5 minutes to throw the case out.
The Match Review Panel is a joke as it doesn't allow players to defend themselves, then makes the tribunal a very risky prospect by upping the charge if you feel you have been dudded.
Everything that involves suspension should just go straight to the tribunal - give the players a chance.
