Should count his blessings its only 3 weeks. Dogshot and knocked him out cold. Disgraceful.

Na that’s harsh clumsy yeah and high but he’s not that type. Just a ruck that plays on the edge.

Clumsy and didn't mean it (I don't think), but severe impact, high and careless will get him sent straight to the tribunal and probably missing three.
Correct weight, it seems. Unlucky for both Sparrow and Xerri, but it was probably the right call with the grading system.
 
Anyone calling that clumsy is a complete moron. The big dope did it on purpose out of frustration after Max Gawn towelled him up and he saw his AA dreams slip away (as deluded as they were).

8 weeks.
The straight dope from a dope.

As Merrett and Richards showed, the biggest mistake Xerri made was not having the ball when he did it
 
I don’t buy the clumsy argument, as the AFL has established that players have a duty of care to each other.

While I don’t think he meant it at all, I’m not really sure what he was trying to do. It was not a legitimate tackle attempt, and it wasn’t really the spot where you would be trying to tap/hit the ball away. In any case, swinging your arm like that near a player is reckless, there’s no way around that, and unfortunately, because the contact was high and severe, he gets a suspension.

It sounds harsh, because it’s a split second thing, but Sparrow suffered a concussion because of Xerri’s action, which wasn’t really a reasonable one.
 
Punished accordingly.
3 week hurts the roo's..but works well for Richmond's deathride..
 
Every tribunal thread gets infested with <player from my club got this so....>. Garbage to read.

Clumsy act, but not malicious.
Not as bad a flailing arm as Nash so less than 4 is fine imo.

This is pretty much the case closed.

He tried to hit sparrow in the chest but got him high. How is that not the definition of careless?
