How many weeks Brennan?

[WhyAlwaysMe]

5 weeks. Dog act by an over hyped played.

 

[jerry springer]

4 week so we dont have to play him

 

[Mancey]

Intentional, Medium, High, Level 4 (325 Points)

Not sure of his record, so should be two weeks with an early plea

Yeah this. Very much doubt it'll be graded as high impact, but if it is it'll be 425.

Has no record so no weighting applied.

If graded as medium impact 2 weeks with 43 points left over.
If graded as high impact 3 with 18 points left over.

Agree or disagree with the system, people who say 10 weeks don't seem to have any idea how the grading system works

 

[ChuckNorris]

Have no idea of his record in the past 3 years, but that will obviously come in to play if such a record exists. Otherwise it is pretty clear cut, and the only arguing point could be the severity of the contact which I think was medium.

2 weeks with an early plea if medium contact and has no priors.

I was laughing, that was hilarious.

Say what you will, but if carr did that sledge for your team today you would love it. Brennan's act - not so much (free kick given away before the bounce, then a 50m penalty, which resulted in a goal and a report which will surely cop at least 1 week).

Even more funny was when carr came back on after the blood rule, and started sledging brennan again. You could see brennan was giving his absolute all to refrain from saying anything back. s**t Im laughing as I type this.

I don't think brennan will cop 4 or 5 weeks like some here are saying.

1 week, maybe 2 at most (not sure of his record).

 

[Bomber32]

He'll cop 3 weeks for that, I would think.

This is the problem with the current tribunal system. They can't have this point system, each case should be treated individually.

Instead of assessing each little aspect of it and adding up points, just look at the severity of the actions and use common sense to decide.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

4 weeks would be common sense 3 weeks a sensible compromise 2 weeks would be the AFL tribunal.

 

[Respected Journo]

Great headbutt.

Fit right in with a hooligan firm.

 

[damochandler]

he will get offered 4 and if he plaeads guilty. it will get reduced to 1. that's how this terrible system works

I agree with you. The current system is a joke.

 

[September_Glory]

he should get 6

4 for the offense + 2 more for sheer stupidity.

 

[sherb]

headbut is a dog act.

Phill Carmen was suspended for 20 weeks for doing it to an umpire, in the old days.

Doing it to a player intentional out of play could mean he wont be back this year.

For those here who think that acting is a recent phenomenon, Carberry's effort that day (the boundary umpire) was a sight to behold.

That's what used to happen. Everyone used to bag the inconsistency. It still happens to some degree with the gradings, but at least the points system makes the process transparent.

The old system you describe was far more of a joke imo

 

[eddiesmith]

Would have thought headbutting was a worse act than striking but obviously not

 

[Power King]

I'm surprised at the amount of disapproval the act has received in this thread, given josh carr was on the receiving end

 

[Audacious]

Brennan should get AFL life membership.

Would have preffered to see more blood but you take what you can.

 

[krisholio14]

I was very disappointed in Jared Brennans effort.

Disappointed he didn't go back and give the bloke another one (or two )

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Got to get 4 weeks, especially as he drew claret.

 

[daleroy]

He should adopt the Headland defense and get off scott free. Surely Carr said something bad about his family.

 

[Old Den]

If Hall had done it he would have got 20 weeks and been compared to Hitler

Nothing to do with Hall - the rules and Brennan's record will decide the punishment.

 

[campbell]

He should adopt the Headland defense and get off scott free. Surely Carr said something bad about his family.

could just have done that, we will never know shall we. I hope it wasnt anything racial, especially with the port runner insipid performance of firing him up to niggle more.
Will the runner be suspended I wonder?

 

[bradrowe#32]

Should be given a month. Very ordinary.

 

[pickman]

At least 4 weeks for mine. s**t poor effort

 

[campbell]

Pathetic brain fade. 4 weeks IMO.

But did anyone see the runner? Hahaha, double fist pump and everything after Carr got headbutted, loves the tough stuff or something?

IMO the AFL will take a very very dim view of the Port runner do what he did.
