The punch. The trip, I felt, was incidental.For which incident should he get the two weeks? The punch or breaking Fishers leg
Incidental? ReallyThe punch. The trip, I felt, was incidental.
Yes, it's an unfortunate outcome but I don't believe Howe intentionally meant it. It was a collision.Incidental? Really

The punch was dumb, no intent to hit him in the jaw.
The trip is the more worrying one, careless with high impact - he'll see 2 weeks for that and potentially one for the punch as well.
He's had a lot of these brain fades lately!
Not everything is about GeelongYes, it's an unfortunate outcome but I don't believe Howe intentionally meant it. It was a collision.
He will get weeks though (from the punch and perhaps the trip too) so you'll be happy.
I can show you footage of Dangerfield from the weekend that is telling of how you shouldn't use your legs in a contest.
Minimum of 4 weeks then.2 for the punch and straight to the tribunal for trip

Was graded as Careless Severe to body which is why straight to tribualCareless high impact to the body is 1 week.

4-5 all up or 4-5 for the trip?Shaking my head if Howe gets 4-5 weeks for this. Cameron only got 5 weeks and he could have killed Harris Andrews.
I'm sure no one disagrees but the MRO table goes based on impact. medium impact is a hard sell considering he played without issue, 30 disposals and 2 goals.
Rubbish. Howe looked, cocked his fist and punched him in the head.Cripps was already ducking away before the punch was thrown. Should have been a chest whack. Intentional, sure, low impact, depending on the med report, high contact... One week seems proper considering Cripps contributed to the location of the hit.
Anyone else and they would not have played on.Cripps went down like a soccer player. In saying so, stupid by Howe. One week.
If he was that shook up he shouldnt have been playingPlayed on yes however didn't get a quality touch in the first half. Regained his senses at half time and played a much better second half. 2 weeks minimum.
Maybe because he was tagged in the first half? You know, that one role they play to negate the impact of another player.Played on yes however didn't get a quality touch in the first half. Regained his senses at half time and played a much better second half. 2 weeks minimum.

Your being very generous calling it a trip. IMO it was kick, not the traditional style but a kick none the less. He deserves the same punishment that he dished upto the bloke he kicked ie 5 weeks for kicking - i give him a discount for the 3 qtrs Fisher could not play. Two weeks for punching a bloke in the head is about right would have been if he received concussion.The punch to Cripps doesn't bother me as much, its the obvious trip that had cracked young Fishers fibula, ending his season.
He should get 1 week for the punch and 2 weeks for the trip at the very minimum.
Deserves 2 weeks for both, i think that fits the bill.
Your assuming that shook up means concussion. Have you ever been punched in the head? Varying degrees of impact and time needed to clear your head.If he was that shook up he shouldnt have been playing
