[Bulldogsroar]

for stomping!

link maybe?

Figured as such. Will be interesting to see who gets to be number one ruck this round.

 

[GreyWind]

Probably Campbell you would expect. Cordy is not ready and Roughead is playing pretty well in the backline and I doubt they would want to tamper with his form.

Will Minson, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with a Level two misconduct offence (225 points, two matches) in that he stomped on Kieren Jack, Sydney Swans, during the second quarter of the round 21 match between the Western Bulldogs and the Sydney Swans, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday August 19, 2012.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Sydney Swans Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 126.56 points and a one-match sanction.

Would have thought the precedent would be set with Josh Hunt earlier in the year getting a fine. I guess not.
In saying that, I think it deserved a suspension then, and I think the same now.

What an idiot!

Lucky to only get one game imo. For a highly intelligent person he sure does some stupid things.

Ridiculous i think. Shouldn't have even been cited

I'm really starting to doubt the so called intelligence. I've backed Will on numerous occasions saying he purely suffers from a severe case of white line fever. In this circumstance though, he had more than enough time to calmly make the right choice, he didn't and deservedly get's his due whack. Silly boy!

Gives Campbell another chance to show his worth.

I agree Will deserved to get a week and might be lucky it wasn't more - we would be filthy if someone stomped one of our players and would expect them to get a suspension.

I think that Will plays his best footy when he's on the edge and we have to take the downside that goes with his white line fever. Impetuous free kicks and now this. I still love the big bloke though.

I just saw the replay once and it seemed unclear whether it was deliberate????? Possibly a tangle and just clumsy? [Wishful thinking here.......]

Campbell is only suited to the first ruck role and he will flourish if he gets a call up.

Ridiculous comment, deliberate act and lucky not to have got more than one week.

You're a beauty Foss. So bloody one-eyed...fantastic! (Will meant it - nothing surer in my view.)

Thanks Not as one eyed as Unnamed1 apparently

Thought it was not only stupid and unnecessary, but not in the spirit of the game, and am glad he's been pinged for it. That said, I can't understand the discrepancy between this penalty and that dished out to Hunt earlier in the year. If anything, I would've thought Hunt's actions had a greater potential to cause injury; perhaps I'm misremembering the earlier incident.

Hope Campbell can step up.

It's simple really, Hunt plays for Geelong and Minnow is a Bulldog So the one position we could have dominated Geelong is now out, I just wish this year would end already.

 

[SonOfScray]

Should have stomped on his hand and kept him pinned. What a joke.

 

[NBates]

Silly Billy! Ya still gotta love him tho.

 

[Unnamed1]

Vision was far from conclusive. The punch before it was more deserving. It's all so soft this year. Can't imagine how many times Gary Jack would've got worse than that.

 

[Rookie]

Looked like a clear suspension to me; lucky for him (but not Tom Campbell) that he didn't get two weeks.

 

[Kennel Master]

Dumbest smart guy in AFL footy.
He keeps doing stuff like this. Pushing his elbow into someone's head on the ground, kneeling on someone.
Achieves nothing except the odd 50 metre penalty or suspension like this.
Don''t need to do it. Not tough, just dumb.
Especially when he is in career good form.
This will give Campbell a shot and he just might grab it!!
I like Big Will but time to concentrate on footy.

Don't understand how Hunt got away with clearly stomping on Betts but Minson gets a 2 weeks down to 1 with an early plea. Both deliberate in my eyes and deserved a week or two but my god the MRP must love missing with us by being the most inconsistent group of dickheads. Minson must of said something about Jacks mum.

You should be thankful he didn't stomp on a north melbourne player. You'd never hear the end of it.

 

[VitalDread]

He is actually getting 2-3 weeks, since he doesn't have good behavior, according to Barrent

 

[Igloo]

Will is contesting the charges tonight at the tribunal. That makes me believe that he stumbled, and stepped down. Surely he wouldn't do it if he knew he meant to?
