Son,
I think that the whitefriars fella can consider himself VERY lucky to only get 3 weeks! Considering he blatantly headbutted a bloke in full view of the umpire, who was looking straight at the incident and no more than 5 metres away! add to that the fact that the carey player went off the ground with a split nose, and that compared to other comps, the VAFA generally takes a hard line approach to penalising on-field violence... 3 weeks is a great result! In all honesty, I thought he would get at 6 weeks plus! not saying that's what I thought he deserved, but just considering the VAFA's 'anti-violence' stance, thought they would throw the book at him.
