Nash on Miers

[CakeEater]

Plays for a big vic club not a non vic club so probably 2 weeks even though:
it should be 6 weeks if Voss got 3
Miers got concussed where as Vlaustin had a blood nose

 

[STPer18]

Give the grub a month on the sidelines. You don't go clobbering Messi like that.

 

[kickazz]

Was immediately and profusely contrite but that was deliberate high and high impact

 

[Romeoh1]

Think it was reckless, not malicious, but he’s gone for probs 3.

 

[Strange Cat]

4 weeks easily at least love to see the Hawks supporters try to defend that dog act

 

[Cursed Cat]

Has to be 4 minimum. 5 would be fair for such a reckless act.
Miers seems relatively ok but it could have been even worse.

 

[Bald]

4 is probably the right number. It’ll be at least 3.

 

[rei154]

3 or 4 weeks for sure.
If it is graded as intentional it'll be 6, but I'd imagine we would argue against that given he put his hand up immediately and shoed remorse.

I’d bet my house on it being graded as careless. Intentional is used so infrequently even in cases where it’s certainly appropriate (and personally I don’t think this was that).

 

[seanoff]

It’s at least 3 by rule. But that’s straight to the tribunal. 4-6 If Miers is anything other than concussed it will be at the high end of that

 

[brutus76]

4-5

 

[lordbob]

3 weeks. high, careless, severe.

he is swinging for the ball but just misses it. similar to scrimshaw earlier in the year

smith should also get 1-2 weeks. intentional, high, low-med impact.... but will probably get nothing. if he threw then ball the only a fine. but it was a strike cos he never released the ball.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

A longer sentence probably helps the Hawks. Gets Hustwaite in and a hack out.

 

[Funbeanman]

Should be at least 4 weeks IMHO

 

[Jim Prideaux]

4, maybe 3. Despite the fact that Nash has the ability to put hurt on players, he rarely does, and I’ve never seen him do anything targeted. I genuinely think he didn’t mean it, but that’s irrelevant.

 

[Purple Suit]

Was immediately and profusely contrite but that was deliberate high and high impact

Impact has to be server considering the grading of Voss on Vluastin was the same.

So it’s three weeks minimum but probably should be seen as deliberate considering where the ball was in relation to the swinging arm.

 

[catstorm]

The thing is, and I know they don't look a this, Miers is probably going to miss the next 2 games because of that hit.

So if Nash gets 3 it essential means he will miss half a game more then the victim of his cheap shot.

Unless your Barry Hall losing the plot your not going to see any high impact, high contact Intentionals. These footy act ones that slip high or are executed high are careless.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Horrible hit
Crosses line from clumsy to deliberate

So you reckon a guy intentionally hitting another bloke with a swinging round arm fist in the head and knocking him out is worth 3 weeks

And pushing a ball into another players face is worth 2?

his swinging arm just missed the ball

 

[MisterB]

Should be 6. But will probably be 3 or 4.

Show me the fist you are referring to. i see an open hand

cant base suspension on how long the other player misses otherwise you have someone slide in below the knees and break someones leg or knee and be suspended for 25+ games. thats ridiculous.
