Nash on Miers

[Xtreme]

Should run the gauntlet and appeal!

 

[Cyclops]

Thanks Christo.

That's Mr Christian to you.

Big Vic Discount strikes again.

6 weeks
- 2 weeks for a Victorian club
Punishment victorian player receives

Would have been 2 weeks if he biffed a player from outside Victoria.

 

[voorhees]

deserved 4 and got 4

 

[hawkman]

The guilty is right. I guess thd sentence is on the lighter end because it's a first offence.

If this was Maynard he'd rightly get 6-8, belted lots of blokes.

Christian wouldn't even send it up for Maynard

 

[StillAtLarge]

Gerard Healy was spitting chips today on the radio, said it was worth at least 6.
From the get go I thought 4 seemed right, if he's not concussed it's probably just a week though

 

[Stax on the mill]

Yeah/nah. 4 weeks appropriate.

A fine at best
AFL is just corrupt

Miers out for 2 with concussion…. Nash out for 4 for suspension sounds fair to me.

A better outcome would have been blowing everyone away with an 8 week suspension and putting the burden on players to play with skill and not thuggery.
If you're not skilful enough to play a fast skillful game, thrn go play beach volleyball, or something more to your speed and level of finesse.

Why did you just disagree with my comment regarding careless contact to the head. The tribunal literally graded it careless...

No, it’s three weeks for no concussion. See the Voss one.

 

[Sttew]

I'm thinking it's longer for Gryan. I think Gryan will miss more games than Nash

Hope not. No history of concussion (?), and he seemed up and about after the game. Of course, we don't know if he suffered any delayed symptoms.

Maybe I'm over rating it but that was a massive hit. 2 weeks is just the minimum.

Agreed, 4 weeks is clearly not enough. Needs to be 5 or 6.

Yep, fine Nash a year's salary. That would be acceptable in lieu of a suspension.

Dream on (just like the Aerosmith song)

 

[greatwhiteshark]

So as many of the media say that he was clearly going for the ball and messed up that badly and it was clearly no intent in it.
So it was simply an accident yes?
4 weeks for an accident sounds a bit rich doesn’t it?

Voss didn't concuss Vlaustin and still got 3 weeks.
That's never 1 week.

It's the optics or as the AFL will say, the outcome that is punished. t was always going to be 4 weeks once the AFL declared that was what it was after.

It’s become comical

I hope you were wanting Tom Stewart to get 10 weeks for his act a year ago then, somehow I doubt this would be the case. Come off it 4 is a fair whack for a high degree careless act that's all this was. Was graded careless as it was, no way could you get intentional upheld he didn't come 50m away and elbow the bloke.

Injuries happen, and the main thing is Miers is making a full recovery but Nash is 4 weeks and that's spot on, the 6 plus are for deliberate stuff, look at Andrew Gaff's one for reference those are that range.

Just to set the record straight - the Stewart bump on Prestia was three years ago (June 2022), not last year, although you'd think it was last week with some of the Richmond posts

Your right, u was cranky about the text message crafted as tribunal evidence and I angrily suggested 8. I don't recall any Stewart incidents last year. Unless your talking about on Prestia, I thought that was 3 years ago.

It sucks when it happens to a player who could never play because of braun alone, a player who is there chiefly for there skill with the ball. A player that could never do a thing like what Nash did because no one believes they are that clumsy — at texting or at footy.
