Devon Smith tripping, how many weeks?

[eth-dog]

This act should not go unpunished IMO. This is a low act and anybody with any advanced martial arts training knows why this has no place on a footy field. Should be charged with misconduct. Minimum 3 weeks for me, I would have zero issue if it were 5 or 6.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

It's unusual. I don't know that much about Devon Smith. Is it out of character?

 

[Spursfan]

He'll get his next year

He's always flirted with the edge in the way he plays.

 

[Quivorir]

Gee thats not a good look.

 

[Arctic fox]

What? 5-6 weeks for something that could have happened? Laughable.
Look at rear view. Gunstan cutting him off zig-zagging and Smith went to ground taking Gunstan with him.

What's laughable is that you think it's 0 weeks.

Yes. Gunston was shepherding him away from a teammate. Smith then grabbed Gunston and took his legs out.

Advanced martial arts, lol.

Advanced martial arts, lol.

Dude, that sort of action can cause so many injuries. Especially with the way he did it.

 

[WN123]

Does Smith have “advanced martial arts training”
You may be attributing him with more skill than he has. From behind it could just as easily be he changed one direction to get around Gunston then had to readjust and go the other way, lost balance and took Gunston with him.

 

[hawkman]

That is an action that should have the potential to cause injury clause attached. Minimum 1 but i think 2 would be appropriate

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Daniel-san leg sweep.

Unnatural movement. You'd think a week.

Wouldn't want to see that too often.

 

[kane249]

VAR has come back and awarded a penalty to Manchester United....

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Did Gunston get injured? no

Fine at worst but knowing our luck he'll cop a week because it's Essendon

 

[HirdsTheWord]

lol

i very much doubt he gets a week for that....

but who knows. the MRP is dog s**t this year.

Dude it wasn’t about Devon Smith. Don’t Kung fu me man.

MRP always punish the outcome not the action ergo Dev should be fine because Gunston didn't injured.

 

[Turnover]

$500 fine.

 

[HairyO]

Greene or Sicily would have got 2 weeks.

I wonder if Christian will just do fines for the rest of the year. The Tribunal is going to overturn everything anyway.

 

[hawkman]

Too light for me, but i think tripping should be more harshly punished than it is

 

[Underarm]

Based on last week with Lynch, anything less than the chair is soft.

Whatever he gets will be overturned at the tribunal though.

 

[Testekill]

Should have gotten at least a week or two, just sweeping someones leg out from underneath them is extremely dangerous.

You mean when Lynch got nothing?
