MRP / Trib. De Goey hit on Elijah Hewett

No it wouldn’t. Careless, high, severe = 3 werks. There were no other extenuating circumstances to increase that grading and subsequent penalty to 4-5 weeks. So dramatic.
It was graded medium impact. High or severe would be 4+

Yeah OK I read a tweet from a reporter that said medium, double check the afl site and they're saying severe

Which should have a much higher minimum than 3wk then

So the AFL Tribunal has declared that concussing a player is worth one week.

Good to see the AFL really doing all they can to protect the head. Absolutely gutless of them.

2 weeks for tackles which cause no damage, 3 weeks for bumps which concuss and cause the injured play to miss 1 1/2 games of football (minimum).
Also 3 weeks for punching a player in the head off the ball and knocking them out.
 
So Hewett is out for basically 2 games from an illegal hit yet the perpetrator only gets suspended 1 game more?

there is no such thing as consistency with the tribunal, we all know that

Hunter only got 1 week for his bump too?
Hunters bump can’t be compared to this bump in any form. Bracing for contact compared to trying to make contact. Knocking someone over compared to knocking someone out. If Hunter was getting more than 1 week this is 5+….

Maybe.

Anyway it doesn’t bother me how long players get suspended for. Something the MRP and Tribunal need to worry about, and not the normal person.
