Thought menegola was a bit stiff that rough conduct can go either way looked like a hefty fine. Can't complain with one it was a sling tackle and could of been very dangerous no need for it either.
Parsons is a good result for that kind of hit. They could of graded that several ways and i think its a fair result for geelong

Parsons "deserves" 2 weeks but it should've been graded as careless, not intentional.

I think the Menegola 1 week suspension is very harsh.
Would he face extra week if he challenges?

Yeah it's initially 2 weeks down to 1 with an early plea. I think the fact it's graded as 'medium' impact and not 'low' is what's done him in. Probably no real grounds to challenge, not that we would anyway.
For what it's worth I think Menegola got 1 week too many and Parsons 1 week short, so we take the MRP combo-deal and move on.
Agree with what you say.
It just doesnt sit well with me that Menegola will miss a game because of that incident.

It sucks even more because nobody doubts Hodge would have got away with both.

No argument there,just as a side note and a pity I don't have replays anymore but I reckon I saw an elbow flashed that missed fortunately in the first half and I'm pretty sure it was the same culprit,now I'm hoping I'm not doing him an injustice but he might have some work to do in that area.

His arms weren't even pinned if I remember correctly, but they see head hitting turf and they take it as an opportunity to make a statement. It's more just bad luck than undisciplined, which makes it a bit annoying to see blokes missing games for.
Jack Frost got 1 week as well for this, maybe I've got the Geelong-goggles on, but it looks far more sinister than what Menegola dished out.

Once a good bloke always a good bloke.
No real issue with either penalty-let's cop them and move on and they can learn from these type of incidents.
Am sorry we have players out but we have depth and can cover them. And while not advocating dirty play am glad we have these 2 and Cockatoo... not taking backward steps and hard at the contest.

If he'd have had a point post to bounce Hodge's head off of he wouldn't have had a case to answer.

You're right,but you need to watch Gibson in that situation,going back a few years possible even before this shepherding the mark he cleaned up Selwood twice in one game ball watching as we were running it out, it's done with intent and purpose.

I don't mind seeing a dirty player get a taste of his own medicine.

Yep. Sling tackles aren't seen in a good light. He'll have to cop it unfortunately.
I'm just hoping he comes straight back in. He's already proven what a boneheaded decision it was to not play him from the start.

I really love his kicking. A lot of penetration from a standing start and we got at least 2 goals from it yesterday, not including the bullet pass to Hawkins in the last.

What I think is a positive is it gets players in other sides thinking there is some aggression and push back in this Geelong side,a bit like the Yanks now they have moved from Obama to Trump the opposition will be a little more on edge.

Let's be serious for a minute mate, Gibson's bump was to Ruggles' chest ... Ruggles hit his head on the ground when he landed.
If we're suspending players for that the game's in trouble.

Parson's looked like his uncle Stephen with that elbow.
For those who don't remember Steve Parsons or were not born at the time, the Richmond 5 gamer is famous for this incident at Windy Hill. He also played for the VFA Geelong West Roosters in 1979.

When his head hit the ground, the blood must have splashed up on to Gibson's head.

Watch it as many times as you want but the bump was to the chest.

So why did Gibson get bandaged on his head?
