Buchanan - 5 weeks (4 with an early plea)

[grimlock]

Gadzooks!

Swan Amon Buchanan also faces a lengthy suspension after being charged with a level-four rough conduct offence against Hawk Luke Hodge on Sunday.
Buchanan faces a four-week penalty if he enters an early guilty plea, and a five-week ban if he unsuccessfully contests the charge.

geez, lucky he plays for the swans
otherwise it woulda been 10 weeks!

that's quite remarkable

 

[Philhawk]

What a joke.

Deserved 2, maybe 3 at most ...

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

OMG IM SHOCKED
4 WEEKS OMG THATS FAR TOO MUCH
i was expecting 2 at a max

Not good at all

 

[chrismcgrath]

F@#King load of shit

 

[Costanza_]

Ouch. I was expecting 1-2 weeks, 4-5 seems excessive. Probably won't effect the team balance too much, but very unfortunate for Amon.

 

[hawkz]

Very unlucky, maybe you guys should challenge!

 

[Corpuscles]

... speechless! atm ....CRAZY!!!!!!


does anyone remember which quarter it was?

I don't wanna watch the whole tape

 

[Neville Bartos]

AFL & MRP are absolutely full of shit. There's no way it was worth 5 weeks. It wasn't a great thing to do, but should have only got 2 weeks max.

Maybe Vlad is trying to show that the AFL isn't biased towards the swans and Amon is the fall guy.
Bad luck Swannies

 

[legend166]

That's ridiculous.

Still can't help but think they're trying to overcompensate because we were lucky to get off a couple earlier in the year.

First Goodes gets a suspension for the softest thing he's done, and now this.

It was like 10 seconds before the second half.

Anyway, can't believe it.. seriously, what a load of crap. I thought 1.. 2 at tops.

 

[swan14]

He had carry over points from rd21 last season. Thought 2-3 would of been fair, still he should know better. Should of been dropped anyhow IMO.

Thanks nat

I presume you mean last few secs of 2nd qtr? I'll now go look!

 

[mitch820]

Holy S***,

should have been 2 weeks max.

Does this mean Schmidt is finally back in the team?

 

[natlovestheswans]

Thanks nat

Yup, that's right.

 

[is2SWaNz]

5 WEEKS? HAS THE GAME GONE SOFT?! WTF IS UP WITH THE MRP?

That is absolutely bollocks. WTF! UNFAIR!

 

[BIGBEZ]

Even the bloody hawk supporters agree it was too much!

 

[swansational05]

Far out, thats a shitload of shit!!!!

I agree with BIGBEZ, even hawk supporters think its a load of crap.

 

[swansational05]

If we challenge(plea) he'll still get 4, even though its better than 5 it wasn't that bad that it'd get 4 matches.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Absolute joke. 1 at the max, and even that is debatable. Yeah he got him in the head, but I thought Hodge sort of stopped a bit otherwise bump would have taken body. Actual hit hit the body first. Frustrating

 

[Costanza_]

You Hawks fans are good sports. Wish the MRP would see things the same way.

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Protected species - If he played for any other team he would've got 10

 

[HolyWars]

2 weeks max. If he has been offered 4 weeks, Solomon should get offered 10 if they are consistant.

kerr's got less than buchanan
i haven't seen the kerr thing, but a) i'm told it was nasty and b) kerr's got form

 

[ssfc0203]

Bloody MRP. Consistency isn't a far fetched idea .. 4 weeks .. you have got to be kidding. Just when he was starting to hit some form.
