Careless, medium impact, high contact for Dev who has been given a week.

Other notable takeaways from our game, Liam Baker has been given a $1000 fine (early plea) for wrestling with Zak Butters, who for good measure has become the first AFL player to notch over $50,000 in fines.

From his 142 appearances, Butters has been sanctioned on 21 occasions.

He's only marginally ahead of Greater Western Sydney skipper Toby Greene, who has amassed $48,850 in fines so far across his 265-game career.

Surely that can be argued down to low impact

The fact he went off the field to get assessed (although not the full 20 minute HIA that it should have been) means it will be a tough argument.
If his name was Dangerfield or P.Cripps then its worth a shot. Alas he wears blue n gold and Christianson has a hard on for suspending anyone in those colours.
We take it and move on IMO.

In this day and age it’s a week. Not particularly controversial

Side note,HoneyBadger35 I’d prefer if you used my title - The MRP Roulette of Inconsistent Punishment - 2026 edition.

Cheers
 
If there's a silver lining to this situation it's this:

Butters caught Dev cold HTB and did his little obligation push into the ground twice before taking his kick.

Minutes later Dev has the chance to square up the ledger and buried that little dog c*nt with so much aggression it was illegal. Butters is such a massive flopper it's hard to know if he was truly affected.

Nice to have another in the side with that level of passion and aggression.
 
Did Deven play basketball?

Given the precedent, may as well give that a shot.

If our club lawyer isn't bringing up Six-Devons clean basketball record from 15 years ago they aren't doing their job.
