Challenging a one match ban is both stupid and pointless.

This, Grimes deserves a week, Cox doesn't.

Big Cox must challenge, otherwise it would set a very very very low precedent. Cannot believe Liam Jones SWINGING an arm at Jack got
less!
Big Cox must rise to the challenge. Can you imagine Nank does same block and gets a week...we'd be royally fooked.

He was always going to get a week with the over reaction and over correction that the AFL does.

why cant anyone tell me if we can challenge without risking further suspension ?
My vague recollection is you don't risk further suspension by challenging now, but you might have to stump up $10k, refundable only if you get off.
That Mason Cox shepherding/blocking action should be banned in my opinion, though I understand it is very common. Any shepherding or blocking should have to be done with your arms and not by bumping(other than a side bump to knock the player slightly off balance.) A player chasing an opponent or with his eyes fixed on the play from further up the field and running to position himself should not be subject to somebody stepping into their path to block them or any front on full body weight bumping action. I would agree with Cox using his arms to push Grimes off balance in that scenario or jostling from a side by side position so as to check his run.

have we accepted the suspension ?
We are probably lucky he didnt get more. If Elliot stays down or comes off the ground he probably misses 2-3.
GWS was probably a loss anyway. May as well Grimsey miss now than later.

Cause we are rfc. The first jones knocks down jack off the ball now that yank does the same thing and all clear. Wait till one of ours does it and see what happens. How did Eddie go by the way with the coin toss thing is it all ok has the afl forgiven him.

Sliding doors moment...
Forget about the Cox non-suspension but his take-down of Grimes way off the ball should have been at least a free kick to Dylan.
From that we likely clear the area so no contest in the forward pocket would have ensued...
Therefore Grimes would not have been seen to elbow Elliot high - so no case and suspension.
Umpire missing the utensils blocking has cost us Dylan for this week.

I cannot understand how the tribunal has found that Cox action was not deliberate. He appears to look at Grimes, move toward him, brace for impact and is fully balanced.
