Poor old Grant...

So if Grant loses a Brownlow for the exact same action... Why wasn't Steven King suspended???

Everyone knows Grant was robbed.It was Collo that robbed him and now he's at Colonial robbing everyone.

Kings and Grants were both accidents and both should've been cleared.
Accidents DO happen [just look at G4E's parents

I thought the incidents weren't THAT similar. The vicinity of the ball is different in the two cases.
King missed the ball by the proverbial bee's dick - Grant missed it by a metre and his fist never went in the direction of the ball.
Both verdicts correct, in my opinion. A week for Grant may have been stiff (could have gone with a reprimand), but the strike charge looke correct to me.

No different to McKernan in 96, you see that same incident over and over without the suspension that McKernan got.

Was McKernans report in 1996 for dropping his knees in John Barnes back or was it a trip by hand ?

It wasn't that different to Anthony Rocca's last year.....what did he get 2 or 3 from memory

Are you sure you are not talking about Shannon Grant and how he squibbed it in the boundary line in the 3Q. He got scared of Lloyd's footsteps.

[had enough of this crap]

Hey grant was robbed twice. in 1996 if anyone here can remember back that far the dogs lost to Essendon in the last home and away game by 3 points No thanks to Mercuri or how ever his name is spelt, He kick the winning goal, Grant got 2 votes Turd got 3, now if the dogs had of won that game there's not doubt that grant would of the the three votes thus making him equal with Voss and corey,
And its clear to see that Grant played better that night.

so its all your fault Mercuri

They weren't exactly the same. If you watch the King incident he is looking directly at the ball and I didn't glance at the opponent even once. There's no way he should have got rubbed out
