Minson gets a week

[Unnamed1]

He is actually getting 2-3 weeks, since he doesn't have good behavior, according to Barrent

Barrett is a nong. I understand will hasn't been suspended since he knocked 3 of Ling's teeth out in his second game. FWIW he leads the AFL in hitouts at the moment (not sure about HOTA stats though). So given will is challenging it, is my comment so ridiculous?????

Very, very surprised he is going to challenge it.

Looks like he is going to try to downgrade the grading from intentional to reckless. Don't see him getting off, so it looks like a 2 week suspension. Definitely looked intentional from where I sit.

I can't believe he is contesting...
Well looks like Campbell/Cordy will get an opportunity to ruck out the remainder of the year

He got 2 without the early guilty plea. But once again, Barrett is wrong. He's claiming that since Will's suspension for the Pearce sledge was AFL endorsed, he doesn't have a 5 year good record.
The AFL didn't give the suspension, so it doesn't count. Simple as that really.

Doesn't matter now anyway, since he's contesting the charges. I'm not expecting him to win though.

Agreed on both counts.... This will backfire spectacularly and he'll end up missing 4 weeks.... Or something...

He did it, accept the one and move on...

Classic Barrett, outstanding work. He got 2 but it was reduced due to Minson's good behaviour record (not the early plea- 1 week if he appeals or not, just a matter of 168.75 points or 126.56 points). Sometimes it pays to do 5 minutes research Damien.

Minson will be contesting based solely on the Hunt case. No doubt he deserves a week or two, but he'll be contesting based on past precedent, probably hoping to get it downgraded from intentional to reckless, which would give him 125 points reduced further with his good record.

Yep Barrett is scum.

The only team he goes soft on is North. He a supporter of them?

As to this, interesting Will is contesting, it didn't look good.

Seems silly to contest. It didn't look like a stumble, it looked intentional - take the week and move on before it blows up in your face, Will. Seems like a completle waste of time.

Yeah it definitely didn't look good, but either did Hunt's. If Hunt had of gotten a similar penalty, I have no doubt Minson would have accepted the week, but given Hunt managed to escape with a reckles charge, surely Minson will be trying to downgrade his charge to the same. Both players probably deserved a week or two, but if the match review committee were consistent (which they aren't) there wouldn't be such big discrepacies between the two cases. Minson does not risk another week in contesting, and I don't think the tribunal can give him any bigger penalty than what he has (pretty sure this can only happen when a player appeals a tribunal ruling rather than contest the MRC). He has nothing to lose, but can use precedent to his advantage to try and play this week.

Will's case about to start at the tribunal.

That has no place in the afl judiciary system unfortunately so he won't be bringing that up/

Very lucky man.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Wow! Can't believe that. Very, very lucky.

Seen it about 5 or 6 times. Definitely thought it was intentional in the moment.

Thank god it was Sydney and not North. There would be a riot!

 

[Testekill]

Very lucky to get off.

Will Minson's penalty for stomping on Kieren Jack's leg seems grossly inadequate
