If that was a Saints player tackling (and concussing) Hawkins we’d be screaming murder.

Let’s see what happens on Monday.
And before you claim to have any experience on the matter, find the Holman / Duncan incident.
It’s identical. Therefore clear precedent to how Christian grades it. Nothing surer.

It was in play , same as the Duncan tackle which everyone said was an accident and part of the game
Do you really have that short of a memory or are you a troll?

Really?
Have a check of the review thread following our clash with Gold Coast, during that match Nick Holman tackled Duncan in a very similar manner and it resulted in Duncan being concussed
Not sure I remember 1 post pushing for an MRO decision that would see Holman suspended, but when he was offered a suspension by the MRO the consensus was he should take it to the tribunal - it was then positive comments when he was successful
I'd say that most folks around here look beyond the outcome of the incident and take more note of the players actions - it's the MRO who's more focused about the outcome

I don’t think this was undisciplined act, he was running down a player in a tight game. Not that it is relevant to outcome, but just saying for those who will criticise him for putting himself in this position.
The AFL website did a "suspension ladder" on their website earlier this year which showed Geelong is the club with the most matches missed through suspension since 2010:
The suspension ladder: Whose bad boys keep getting banned?
Guess how many games your club has missed through suspension over the past 10 years

But apparently there's a conspiracy in our favour.

As much as I would love Hawkins miss next week he doesnt deserve to be suspended for that. Which means Christian will give him 2 weeks.
Gee it sure seems like you’re not allowed to have differing opinions without being accused of being a troll. Bizarre
Just to be clear - I want the bloke playing. Clearly as a Cats fan that’s the priority. I’m merely pointing out how similar both incidents are.
Do I think he’ll get 1-2 weeks from MRO ……. Yes
Do I think he’ll appeal and get off ….. Yes
Do I want him to get off …… Yes.
Deepest apologies for having an opinion that differs to some of the leading analysts of the game here on this board.
Seriously, a few people in here need to lighten up. Possibly grow up.

Take your own advice
Based on the directive we have been given in community football it would be at least a week's suspension. Pinned the arm, slammed the head into the ground accidentally and the player went off. Sorry everyone, onus is on the tackler and momentum doesn't come into it when the tackler makes a dangerous action.

Gee you’re game. Be very careful not to tell anyone what they don’t want to hear.
You’ll cop both barrels.

Why go through the charade then when we know the end result?
Reckon it might be past your bed time. Sleep tight.

Pinned the arms and slammed his head into the ground. Pinning the arms is fine but the head is sacrosanct. It is the excessive driving force in a vulnerable position.

Not sure people are unhappy with you bringing a different opinion, but more so the theme of your first post on the issue - starting a post with "Take off the rose coloured glasses." probably isn't going to be well received
We just have to go back to last week to see that a good number of folk around here were expecting Selwood to be watching today's match from home after his bump on Sam Taylor - it was a pleasant surprise to see the impact graded as low and only be a fine. If Joel did miss a miss, I'm not sure too many would have been complaining
When our guys stuff up and are pulled up for it, so be it - don't tend to see too many complaints

'Slamming his head' is emotive language and implies a deliberate action.
It was not.
Purely accidental.
I agree with your opinion - there is a duty of care - and he showed none - hopefully it is only one week - then Sav gets another game - but could quite easily be 2 weeks - that was pretty violent in my opinion
