[wadeallday]

Challenge it, will get off

 

[Hoffy95]

Big loss the ol' Puma

 

[Suma Magic]

We will definitely take this to the tribunal. Really hope he can get off.

If he can't, I wonder if we will use Darling/Waterman to pinch hit or bring in McInnes.

Medium impact to the head? Haven't seen rewatched footage but that seems a high grading?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

A tackle that will be shown on AFL promos for years to come gets suspensions, while Hogan, Thompson and Rance all get nothing for staging. Sweet decision folks, sweet decision.

Is it April Fools?
That is a hard fair tackle. Not a flying knee to the backside which apparently is only worth a fine. They really look after GWS don't they? No double action no sling if your going to call that every time better not allow big fellas to tackle.

[Xsess]

[pantskyle]

How the * is this worth a ban?

 

[DivideandMultiply]
