Cerra 1 week for strike on Bowes

[croweater 41]

Bowes was engaging in a tussle to create space with Cerra and by chance lowered his body at the time of the strike. Hinge just straight up hit Brayshaw in the face

That’s complete and utter disregard for any fact the vision shows.

Brayshaw goes to bump Hinge as much as Bowes goes at Cerra. Hinge only difference is he is looking at Brayshaw vs Cerra side on with Bowes not knowing where hands are being thrown.

If intent was to punch Hinge/next person in this position wouldn’t miss. As Gary Lyon said just punch give the opposition a punch in the guts and write a $1500 cheque.

Makes sense he got off in the end.

Tribunal agreed with me hate to say it. I don't want to come across as a one eyed nuffy but I genuinely thought both were quite easy to differentiate using the vision we got.

I also think Cerra should have got off.

With that logic, I’m a Freo fan and think the Adelaide player should have got off too. Seems to be just a few Carlton fans who think Hinge should be suspended.

I don't think he should have been suspended. I just think they were different actions. The force was powder puff stuff.

If one gets off the other should have too. If one suspended the other should have been.

Literally the same action and outcome but with different results.

I don’t disagree with Cerra getting off I don’t think either should have been suspended. Sure a fine but not weeks.

Despite Hinge’s evidence that he did not intend to strike Brayshaw, we find that the video evidence is quite inconsistent with this. It shows a forceful movement of his arm in an upward motion. It was a striking or jabbing movement, rather than a push that had no intention to strike.

We do not find that the fact the blow landed on Brayshaw’s face was caused by Brayshaw having lowered his body position. There was some lowering, but Hinge was looking at Brayshaw and the lowering was not significant.

Hinge’s arm and hand did not slide upwards or glance off another part of Brayshaw’s body. It was a blow to the face that was always likely to land on the face.

Hinge did not form a fist, but the upward and forceful motion of his hand was consistent with him having formed an intention to strike.

Insufficient force, but not the same action in any way.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

they should both be a fine but theres no doubt there more intent in hinges act than cerras. Cerra is trying to tustle and win the ball, what is hinge trying to do?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Should never even have been sanctioned

 

[Blues_Man]

No I am one of those neutral observers that watched a 30 sec clip of each incident and said, WTF they are basically the same.

I suggest OPSM, they are very good

Michael Christian should just give up trying to book Carlton players.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

If this was sanctioned then every single high tackle or accidental spoil should be sanctioned hereafter - which obviously won't happen nor should it

Incidental high contact in the act of trying to gain an advantage in a contest or win the ball should never e cited

 

[Partridge]

Anything to keep the conspiracy going I suppose. Even Geelong supporters don't think Cerra should have been suspended.

Correct (at least for me). Absolutely nothing in that whatsoever.

 

[HairyO]

its getting ridiculous now. 7th time michael christian (collingwood fan) has given the incorrect grading to a carlton player and they have had to overturn it at the tribunal. Surely anyone else with that track record would be moved along

Does this include the Cripps one the AFL intentionally screwed up to let him keep his Brownlow ?

The differences are reasonable IMO.
Cerra's should never have started as a week. It was a fine at worst. If it started at that, it would never have been appealed.
Cerra and Bowe both go for open handed shoves, arms fairly well outstretched, to get space/hold ground. One accidentally goes a little high. The force was probably the low end of medium. Not a strike and not intentional.

Brayshaw goes in for a bump with arm tucked in. Hinge counters with a closed fist, elbow bent, one armed strike. The high contact might not have been intentional, but the action was a clear striking action when compared to Cerra's. The force looked more at the higher end of medium.
Hinge's problem stems from his closed fist and punching motion. Had he just countered with a similar bump, or gone open handed to the chest/torso, he'd probably be fine.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Michael Christian should just give up trying to book Carlton players.

Or just grade them appropriately from the start.
That's the only reason our players appear to 'get off' more. He always grades one part of the action a step higher than it should be. They're easy to appeal.
