For a jumper punch? Yeah, nah.
It's like people haven't seen the 10 identical incidents this year that were thrown out for insufficient force.
Nothing to see here.

Only thing I saw him do the whole game. Fist clearly connected to the jaw and there was clear intent. Ordinary act.

This wasn't a jumper punch. This was punching someone while you happened to be holding his jumper. His fist hit the chin.
I suspect he'll get off, because there's always been an aversion to suspending key players for finals when there is any reason at all to let them off, but this really should be at least a week in normal circumstances.

For sticking up for his team mate
In terms of force it's no different to Mitch Robinson's hit on Taylor Adams.
And he got two weeks.

Don't look at it then.
Whilst I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it copping a suspension, I'm not comfortable that you can get a whack in the jaw like that intentionally and outside the play. That's just being a thug.

Reprimand or a week. Fyfe did a similar thing and copped a week. Should expect the same.

Probably the type of thing that should attract a fine.
