One's going for a bump and one's punching a guy in the face.
You tell me which is the weak dog act.
Concussion is severe impact and direct to tribunal…
Imagine if the ARC was used properly and we had played Adelaide instead?
Perhaps you should thank the AFL and sit down...
Only started posting on Thursday? Already got banned and finals hadn't even started yet? obvious dummy account is obvious
Run that defence at the tribunal and see how it goes
"Blakey shouldn't technically have even been there so in reality it should have been Dawson instead and he's 2 inches taller so the strike wouldn't have been high..."
Ya boi ****ed up and has played his last final for the year
He got lucky and didn't get concussed, not everyone does after a hard hit. It doesn't change the impact of the blow. If thats not worth 2 weeks, nothing is.

Not a bad gig Martin's on. He's making about $82k per game since he rocked up to Carlton.
Agree to an extent, was there a chance he could've been got concussed? Of course.
Was he though? No. As the likelihood of concussion is taken into account these days I get it though.
Did it have an adverse effect on his game after he came back on? Based on how he played, no. You could easily make an argument for Medium or Low based on that fact alone.

It's a shame we didn't have the boys club on the commentary panel last night. It would've been nice for him to have a chance to plead his innocence in an interview 2 minutes after the game.
Tell them you tried to smother the ball. Send Blakey and his missus some flowers. You'll be playing next week Jack.

While i agree with the point your making about the coverage being disgusting the other night, it's a lot easier to defend a "spoil gone wrong" than a punch in the face
Nice grammar!
Don’t even know why I got banned.
Have seen some very ordinary comments by blues supporters
We'll argue it's medium impact and get it down to 1.
Or you’d have been playing GWS in Sydney and Melbourne would be hosting Brisbane tonight…
Can’t find it, but pretty sure that’s how they usually grade any concussion as severe.
But the following guidelines do show why downgrading won’t happen as potential to cause injury and swinging arms are all reasons for higher impact classifications.

He's certainly a barnacle, had a cushy job for so long, made many a howler, no consequences.
High preponderance of Carlton supporting mods.That’s probably the reason.

Agree - Carlton should be forced to start Jack Martin as the sub and not allowed on until at least the 2nd quarter so he misses at least 25% of the next game....good shout.
Yeah reading that it's probably not being downgraded then hey
I’m still trying to work out what he was actually attempting to do?
Is it like a kind of jumper-punch-esque tactic where you kind of swing your arm in the tackle to kind of disguise a punch in the sternum to make it a really “hard” tackle or what?
Regardless, would have been good to get a free kick.

So it was careless, high impact, high contact = 2 matches.
He's lucky it wasn't graded as intentional.......
I guess the club will try to argue down the level of impact to medium to get it down to 1 match.
Whatever he ends up with, he deserves a holiday for doing something so dumb. That sort of act doesn't belong in modern footy.

I have no idea. Make him "earn it" a la football of a past era? Regardless, it wasn't called for.
I don't know why a free wasn't paid either. Seemed a pretty obvious one to pay.

Intentional strikes with raised elbows... that sounds familiar. No, wait. It's ok. JVR was cited for rough conduct, not a strike and it was graded careless, not Intentional.
They certainly know how to word things and grade things to get their desired outcome.
