Can't say I'm surprised, with the lifting motion it was always going to be touch and go for Charlie.
He's lucky Lever's head didn't impact the ground, could've been a much longer holiday otherwise.
MRP / Trib. Charlie Cameron gets a week for dumping tackle on Lever - Tribunal = down to a fine.

Indeed, but considering Vlaustin and Greene escaped suspension last week its a bit annoying. Charlie's was graded as medium impact, whereas Vlaustins was graded as low impact, despite Butler staying down for a fair period of time. Greenes tackle, which drew an angry reaction from Andrew went without report!

Medium impact. Surely the AFL are having a lend of us.

Not sure how the Greene one gets off without a fine, and Cameron gets a week for similar looking tackles. At worst, Cameron's was with a bit more force, but I can't see how one isn't deemed worthy of even a fine and the other is graded medium impact.
Came to say the same thing re: Toby Greene. Mac Andrew didn't enjoy it so much he gave away a free kick which resulted in a goal.
Need to see the Vlastuin one again.

Yeah the Vlaustin one was more a merry go round affair, so a little different from the straight dumping style. Seemed to have more impact on Butler though, or at least similar, yet one is graded as low and the other medium.
Brisbane play Geelong next. Starting to make sense.

Greene gets nothing with one of the leagues worst records and Charlie gets a ban when he is probably the cleanest player out. Surely the Lions fight it using last week as precedence??

You'd cop a week off for the opportunity to dump tackle Lever I reckon.

lol, if this is “medium impact” what does low impact look like? This will get downgraded on appeal
Deserved at least a week, but it also shows how much of a lottery it is based on who you do it to.
The same tackle last year on Brayshaw and he’s facing 4-6 weeks on the sidelines.

See you on the 9th green at 9
FFS I pay good money to hear country roads at the Gabba every second week.
Lucky with one, deserved two at least.

Maybe, but why do you think impact was graded as medium considering Lever bounced straight up and last weeks incidents were ungraded (Greene) and low impact (Vlaustin)?
Watching the replay and it is clear that Lever pushed off with his legs to get the other Lion off his arm and forced Cameron’s tackle forward. No impact and no intent from the tackler on this occasion.
This is exactly the type of tackle is trying to get out of the game.
If you thought Melbourne were silly taking Kossi to the tribunal then Brisbane would look incompetent in challenging this.

Why not? Both involved a slinging action and both resulted in a player being hurt/ upset as they had been dumped on their head. Vlaustin was fined only because his was graded as low impact, despite Butler staying down for a short while.
Neither player was dumped on their head an neither were distressed. Go view the replay.
Cameron swung Levers head into the ground. Go view the replay.
