Menzel still suffering from his knock. Might be a 2-3 weeker

on par with Crouch's hamstring soreness for frustration.

 

[maxlilly]

Does anyone know if Shaw is over his concussion and is available this week?

We need to know what the Tribunal Report says. But I imagine that line of questioning would backfire.

They can't in good conscience give 3 or more weeks given Sumner's penalty. But I would expect contact with an umpire during a scuffle to normally attract no less than 4 weeks, perhaps 5 or 6 even.

Seems an each way bet to me. Should have been many weeks, but it was reduced due to the impact of his concussion. But whilst they accept that concussion mitigates his degree of fault, they must suspend a player who makes contact with an umpire. Personally, I don't understand it, he was either in his right mind or he was not. Take a position either way and give him 0 or 6 rather than what appears a balance of probabilities style decision.

Still feeling the effects of concussion?

but they don't have to suspend him.

if they have a doctors report saying concussion then it should be 0 (assuming the Doctors would agree that concusion impacts the way you think)

That doesn't provide an open slather for players to touch umpires because they will need to have a doctors report detailing the concussion etc.

Starting to sound like his time at Carlton all over again....

Agree 100%.

Haven't they already conceded he had concussion resulting in the light penalty? If so there should really be no penalty.

So I can punch an umpire and claim concussion? What should my penalty be?

Otten didn't "punch" an umpire.

It's pretty obvious he was concussed at the time. The fact that the charge was for deliberate contact surely can't be proven in that case.

 

[jackster83]

Still no Shaw.

WTF is going on there?

But if you are going to use the slippery slope that '' concussion excuses everything'' then my question is valid

If I punch an umpire and claim concussion what would my penalty be?

Not sure if you're trolling...

Have you seen the footage? Was wringed out like a hot flannel by Sumner, on the deck for a bit gets up and within seconds he makes contact with the umpire. It is very reasonable to use the concussion as a valid defence considering how short after the hit the contact with the ump occurred.

Really concerned about Shaw can someone connected get the full story.

Just what he didn't need after his body was finally holding up and playing good footy.

Not trolling at all. My argument is if you are going to use concussion as an excuse then where do you stop?
