Seething about this. The head contact was incidental. He had no time to affect the kick by tackling. His only other option was stand back and do nothing. Surely this cannot go through.

Looking at the technicalities now, assuming we're going to contest it (and we may as well given he gets 2 weeks anyway), we have to argue that there wasn't enough force to sustain a report. Rischitelli clearly wasn't affected other than having to come off with the blood rule and he was straight back on. At least we can try and argue that it was low impact, not medium, which would take it down to 125 points.

And we're truly stuffed if that's the case.. Him vs Gunston? LOLLLLLSilvagni??
This defence didn't work for Jack Ziebell.
The panel takes the view that if you can't influence the contest with a tackle you are out of the contest.
Anyone got footage of the Dawson trip? Cant say I noticed it during the game.

Biggest load of shit I have seen in many years of AFL. One of the best players in the game rubbed out two years in a row for ticky touchwood bullshit cause the match review panel are run by a bunch of soft *****.
Yeah kinda wound up over this one. Just don't see the logic.Lucky for you this is big footy. Over at Dockerland that post would have lasted 10 seconds, 5 if Shane had her period.
