Show them the vision of Voss missing a high 5 and poking Treacy in the eye. He's just a lovable clutz who didn't mean it like the Lobster.

Exactly what I said I'm another thread.
Careless, High and severe impact....while I think Voss should be suspended I think that Lobb's was worse.

No surprises here, no name player at a non Victorian club. Perfect opportunity for the AFL to be excessively harsh.
How does [PLAYERCARD]Dan Houston[/PLAYERCARD] get less than this?

Oh **** off we’re going on “potential” now??? If he had a broken nose and they decided that was severe that’s one thing but Lobb punching someone in the head doesn’t get a severe grading?

If you go in with a clenched fist the ball has to be somewhere in the vicinity. With Lobb it was with Voss it was no where near it.
Dumb action.

He doesn't play for Carlton so this was always going to happen, ****en amateur clown league
But Voss punching the head has the potential to cause a severe injury no? How do they decided when to use potential and when to use actual impact.

But he didn’t break his nose just a bit of claret. Get some balls Freo and go hard at the tribunal. This club never has a crack at the system we take whatever is thrown at us. Get a fine call out this ****en bias and double standards
We always challenge and we always lose. No point wasting time on this. Imo a broken nose in itself is enough to warrant severe, which he definitely had. But instead they choose to **** around with “potential” which is just a power trip.

I don't get all of the uproar. There' a matrix and three weeks is the sanction for careless action (which it was), high contact (which it was) and severe impact (which it was). If the guy had failed a concussion test it would have gone to tribunal and been extended to four weeks. There's no conspiracy, there's no anti-Vic bias - just the application of the MRO sanction chart. Yes it's harsh and Voss is starting to get a bit of cult status and we all love him, but let's not be campaigners about it. I'll actually be pissed if the club appeal - we're better than that.
As for the Twitter post comparing to the Lobb incident, that's just dumb and arguably makes the case against Voss even clearer. Even blind Freddy can see the two acts are different. As much as I detest Lobb, his eyes were on the footy and it was an attempted straight arm spoil - a textbook footy act. Voss' was a swinging clenched fist into the guys face - nowhere near the ball and not even close to resembling a footy act. Maybe there's a slight case for Lobb getting 1 week, but at the time I thought 0 weeks was the right call and I stand by that.

Was hoping for 2 weeks but expecting 3. It was very careless and extremely high. Smacked him flush in the nose.
I agree with those saying there aren't any realistic grounds for appeal. However I don't think a broken nose should necessarily be severe impact. It's not that hard to break a nose, and I've seen players keep playing after a few repairs on the sidelines.
Causing a concussion would be more what I call severe impact. Not sure how Vlastuin has pulled up in that regard?

Agree, I was hoping for high impact rather than severe.
Three weeks is what it is given the grading matrix, but it doesn't 'feel' like a three week offence. There was no melee and Voss/Vlaustin were chatting together after the siren.
Most Freo fans agree it deserves a few weeks because it was dumb and should be forced our of the game. Three is excessive unfortunately but if you look at Freo's form at the tribunal, it isn't good.
Maybe give him a run as a ruckman. Get him into the game a bit more.
And I say that half tonue in cheek.

Oh well, Deadly in.
I just hate that they pick and choose when to use “potential to cause injury.” Like if they graded the broken nose as severe then there’s no problem. But the fact that it isn’t and he’s getting done on potential is annoying. The extra week doesn’t matter cos he’d be out anyway with Jackson but the inconsistency sucks.
