Was graded as careless so it was on the high scale of careless. Wasn't as if before the siren everyone at Geelong said "boys number 1 objective take out Prestia"..and if so why on earth would Geelong get their most important player to do it!

So you're saying for an act to be deliberate it needs to be premeditated?
Yeah nah.

Deliberate is Gaff on Brayshaw or Hall on Staker. The rest are dumb, football acts which are all versions of careless regardless of how far up the careless scale it is. He'll cop 4 weeks, it was on the high side of careless.
The act, not the outcome, was not accidental. Ran past the ball and collected a player high, had plenty of time to pull out

Gaff didn't plan on clocking Brayshaw, he snapped in the heat of the moment. Still clearly deliberate. Same goes for Stewart, the difference is he used his body and not his fist.

You are allowed to bump that has been party of football forever. He got him high and that's the issue, and the severe impact too, thus going to the tribunal. It was in simple terms a poorly executed legal bump, that's it. Wasn't as if he went out before the bounce and wanted to Tombstone Prestia!
Interesting analogy, that just doesn't happen in the modern game, but he didn't accidentally go past the contest, nor did he accidentally turn his body and decide to bump and or catch Prestia high. I don't view Stewart as a dirty player, but that act was no accident

Patty Cripps is still playing well but I think Walsh has just about overtaken him at this stage.

I think it's important that we clarify one thing when we talk stats. If you're a midfielder, especially an inside midfielder, you should be getting a lot of the ball. That's their job. Out of all of the players on the ground, any player who is given plenty of centre bounces attendances really should be pushing 30 touches a game. 25 is average for any good midfielder these days.

But did you consider Bachar to be a grub for life? Or is it just one way traffic?

Not good behaviour, fair to call him a grub. Don’t care.

You really think the best loose defender in the game and our most important player went out and thought ‘I will deliberately get him in the head with my shoulder and knock
him out’?
The action was deliberate. The intent to hit the opponent was deliberate. The execution and outcome were not.

He wasn't though. He had a brain fade, just like Tom Stewart. Difference is most football followers recognised it as such and didn't write him off for ever.

Walsh doesn't attend too many centre bounces lately.
He's actually not that effective at centre clearances. Hence I feel putting him on the wing wouldn't really be too disingenuous. He comes off a flank to play an extra man around the ball.
