Matthew Lloyd has just been suspended by the AFL tribunal for one week. Pretty harsh, I reckon, as contact, was unavoidable and he didn't raise his elbow.

He'll be back, fit and firing for the Magpies on the 25th.

Well...contact was aviodable, and he did connect him high
 
With Macca, and maybe the elbow wasnt raised, but the arm was away from the body.

Looked ugly in its execution even if intent wasnt there. Think he should (in light of recent penalties to others) be thankful it was only a week.
 
That's true. Perhaps it was a bit careless. But I didn't think it was worth getting rubbed out for. it's not like he lifted his elbow and whacked him in the head! Considering his clean record, and the fact that the umpire couldn't get the initial report right, I think this is a harsh call.

Usually when a player with a generally spotless record, or one who is lauded as such, faces the tribunal ... the result tells us whether the tribunal are in a judicial mood, or a point-making one.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit harsh as he did keep the elbow down (it did come up after contact) but I guess he did collect him in the head which is a no no.

Not at all Mags. Disappointed he's suspened of course. You should be the one disappointed, because he will be back for the Anzac day clash. What a pity eh? Which of your defensive hacks is going to get the job?

Despite opinions to the contrary around here after the match, he had to go and I'm glad to see some consistency by the tribunal. I was thinking it should have been two weeks though. I think one week for the Golden Boy would equate to two anywhere else. However, this has seen his halo slip somewhat, next time it should be around his neck and strangling him!

The suspension will do him no harm.

Lloyd has been "experimenting" with a few of these 'half-hits' (clips behind the ears and the like) - all fairly harmless stuff of course - this just sets some boundaries for him.

Lloyd can do without the 'goody two shoes' image anyway - he is not a pompous skirt like Nird. A suspension like this might be a good thing in that sense.

I don't mind Lloyd as a player, but he got the right punishment.
