How many weeks would you expect Keane to get for his attempted punch (did he connect?) on Melksham?

Based of the video evidence provided I'd say 10 weeks.
Not a good look. We need this out of the game. We learned last week punches to the head can cause players to elect to fall to the ground feigning head injuries.

I'm going to guess 0.
If your question is altered to ask "How many will Keane get for his attempt?" then we might have some other answers.

Intent to cause injury seems high?
Off the scale.

Can't argue intent, missed him (just) but potential clause comes into play there and Keane has a bit of record albeit mainly fines with the MRO 40 games into his career. Should it be weeks? Probably. But we all know that this is a game of chance with Christian and co running the show. For all we know Melksham gets a week for triggering Keane (it's a joke but **** me sometimes the decisions certainly look that way).
Gives us a good reason to bring Murray back into the side to play on Darcy this week if there are weeks given.

Just for reference too this is the one we are speaking about correct?

I was thinking I missed MM swing at someone and was going to have to go back and watch again as I wouldn't have thought it would be in his wheelhouse to do something of the sort.
Keane yes, Woz probably but MM not so much.
Last week the potential to cause I injury element added 3 weeks to the suspension.

Surely the act of a bygone era…has to be 5 based on potential to cause injury
That said AFL will shortly ban cheer squads making banners due to the potential to cause injuries
At least he connected.
For reference, the only player to be suspended for attempted striking in the last 20 years was cyril rioli
Seemed to be trying to hit him off, not specifically directed at his head.
But if it connected, anywhere from 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity. It think the fact that it was a backhanded hit, and not full force, probably means the potential to cause injury not the same as Lynch's (as all the Richmond fans in here seem to want to suggest). But who knows what the AFL would have done.

Surely there is more potential to cause injury if impact is made to the face as opposed to the back of the head
Would Gaff have got 8 if his strike collected brayshaw in back of his head ?
Yes, he would have. Punches to the back of the head are extremely dangerous, often fatal.

No suspension, only fined.
Nice to know that a deliberate strike that misses the head would have had 3 weeks suspension worth of less potential to injure than a strike that did make contact but didn't injure.
