Yeah 6-8 seems about right. Think he’ll get 5-6. That’s about right

It's a given he's going to be out for a significant amount of weeks.
The club will most likely have to make a decision based on what they've seen so far, and whether the ill discipline shown gives them pause.
But he didn't. He was lucky that he didn't, but he didn't.Don't like his chances one bit of medium impact. Best he can do is plead guilty, cop whatever, but it is out of character, so may get some discount of 7 down to 5 weeks or something like that. The potential to cause serious injury was in play here and that's what will hurt him getting it down to medium.

Sticking a leg out for tripping can have a serious impact to a player but if it doesn't, it's a fine.
Look he'll probably get 6-8 because that's what the 'angels' are asking for. A 4 week suspension is no short punishment but IMO it should be no more than that for an action that still allowed the player that was 'hit' to play out the whole match.
If it's 6-8 for that, then what would it have been if Black's jaw was broken & he had to sit out 6 or so weeks?
12-14 weeks? It just doesn't match up with anything else that has gone down in the last 5 or so years since the new report rules came into effect.

I have a hard time accepting it being called ill discipline. Looking at the incident as a whole and taking into consideration his initial action to swat the bloke off and the second action being exactly the same, it's got accidental high contact written all over it. Intentional contact yes, he made the decision to swat him off but it unfortunately went badly. It was a heat of the moment exchange that happens in every game, wouldn't call that ill discipline.It's a given he's going to be out for a significant amount of weeks.

Bugg got 6 matches for knocking out Callum Mills. Barry Hall got 7 for breaking Staker's jaw. I know it's a different world, but it wasn't a gutless punch to an unsuspecting victim (as Gaff's was, to a skinny 18 year old kid.) The twitter video is too poor in definition to have a clear idea of the exact impact. Paddy would be unlucky to get six weeks. Still, it was a stupid impulse.I have a hard time accepting it being called ill discipline.

I think it was a standard impulse you see in every game, this just went pear shapedBugg got 6 matches for knocking out Callum Mills. Barry Hall got 7 for breaking Staker's jaw.

Paddy McCartin Statement
VFL listed player Paddy McCartin has issued an apology following an incident in the Swans VFL Round 3 match against Geelong last weekend.www.sydneyswans.com.au
Just sad overall.
Brain fade has let everyone down.
Seems very uncharacteristic.
As you say sad.
It still could have been, he hasn't admitted to it. This is a regulation apology expected of him for getting the bloke in the head.Yep definitely not intentional swinging arm to the chest/arm gone wrong

I think they’re dreaming on 3. Maybe that’s the penalty for a guilty plea on high impact.Imo it’s 5. They’re looking to 6 and Sydney’s trying to 4 imo
nope they’re trying for 3
