Don't have the footage but the Mitch Duncan incident against Sydney is a carbon copy (and Duncan got off scot-free). Two players running in opposite direction at the ball, contact made to the head. Let's see if there's any consistency in rulings when a Richmond player is involved. We've already seen the cluster**** that is dangerous tackle with players getting nothing up to 4 weeks.

I think he gets three weeks but deserves two under current interpretations. You can mount an argument for getting off too so it will be interesting.
He could have chosen to tackle and I think he could have seen that he was going to get to the ball second a fair way out.
The contact was not direct to the head imo either.
Also agree that too often players are not protecting themselves properly. Was clumsy football by both players. Neither player known for their smarts, awareness or nous.

Not to mention the knee to his nether regions! [emoji15]
The Dangerfield thing was 3 years ago, if it was this season he'd get weeks. So would the Cotchin bump on Shiel probably. You can't compare high hits from other years to this year, things are very different now...
they will give him 6 weeks
The argument has to be that it wasn't a bump but that he was contesting the ball and simply braced for contact
From memory Brandon Ellis had a similar contest when he was playing for us in a final back in the day (maybe against GWS) where he wasn't even cited

This is pretty much 98% the Lynch case vs the Dogs earlier this season, I feel

Agree, if Mansell gets done it means the afl would rather see two players kamikaze each other rather than protect themselves. So stupid considering the whole point is to lessen injuries. Was Aish’s fault not being aware of his surroundings.

No but everything that AFL does is in lock step with the Government.

If you think he has been great for Victoria, just wait until you get taxed up the arse.

He’ll get 3/4 weeks, nothing surer and he just doesn’t deserve it. May as well shut the game down now and the last one out can turn off the lights.

Honestly the worse decision ive seen this season thus far is Omeara getting a week for the "dangerous" tackle on that germ Spargo. Spargo literally swan dived into the ground head first to draw the free, the fact OMeara got a week for that is grossly unjust and just rubbing salt into the wound. Im a neutral and dont give a shit about Freo - but that one really pissed me off.
Who knows where this will end? On social media namely instagram, the amount of current afl players openly mocking the decision of butler getting cited was eyebrow raising to say the least!
