Fine at most IMO, it's a slippery slope if they start handing weeks out for that.

Should be no more than a slap on the wrist, if that. Let’s not get too precious. It’s still a contact sport and there was nothing particularly malicious in it. And Nick Reiwoldt.....STFU
I reckon there is nothing in it but Michael Christian will grade it as intentional with medium contact to the body = 1 week, Carlton will appeal and get it downgraded.
Seriously minimal force in that, it's something that happens 100s of times a game.
Riewoldt was simply unprepared. Also worth noting Jones doesn't move at all, it's not like he picked him off.
Was he meant to just let him run by?
If Riewoldt saw it coming he wouldn't have even fallen over.

Riewoldt not paying attention and paid the price. Good on Jones.

Is this a joke? It shouldn't even get looked at. As a local footballer this is what we get taught to do. On transition defence, put a body on your opponent to stop them streaming towards goal. It wasn't a high bump, just a solid mid range hit.
Jones was literally standing still, Jack needs better awareness in that situation. Football is a 360 degrees game.

I enjoyed watching jumper punches etc but completely understand why theh had to get rid of them in today's game.
But if this gets a week we truly are taking our game in a sad, sad direction.

Hey do you guys think it should be mandatory for each player to shake hands before the game and trade their favourite salad recipes? It would be really nice I think and would send an amazing message to the kids out there.
$2000 fine...seriously? AFL slowly ruining this game
Couldn’t have said it better myself. As custodians of our football code, the AFL have dropped the ball on this one.
You'd have to be blind to think those were in any way similar.

joneses hit was an absolute cheap shot. didnt cause jack any real harm but winded him very badly. thing is, if the afl want to stamp out off the ball cheap shots they have to punish the act not the result. either he should get a week (cause players dont care about a tiny fine) because the afl want to stamp it out, or he should get nothing.
Max Gawn has just had the same thing happen to him, Jono Brown praising the Port Adelaide team for getting into Gawn and putting him off his game
Brown, the same meathead calling for Jones to be rubbed out on Thursday night.
The media are junk.
