Funny thing is 2 blokes threw an elbow back hitting the jaw of a player with about the same if not more force last week and they were just fines.Some interesting comments in this thread.
Rohan clearly hits Neale across the shoulder/neck and then the jaw (you can actually see the jaw pop up towards the end of the strike).
Pretty lucky to only get 2 weeks.
The accusations of staging against Neale are embarrassing.
Couple of unrelated points
* Retaliation shouldn't be a defense but geez it gives me the irrits when the instigator does something reportable, as Neale did, but it doesn't get looked at because they're a protected species and the other guy hit back
* People whine and whinge (inaccurately) about Geelong getting a cushy run with the umpires but there is no dispute that we've had a horror run at the MRP and tribunal going back over a decade now
* If Michael Christian is going to tell porkies about where the impact actually occurred (it's clear from the video it wasn't high) then it should be challenged on principle even if you think a round-arm body hit should get a similar number of weeks
1. need to punish neale for the instigation of the incident
2. for staging to get a player suspended, as he was more worried about getting rohan suspended than his health
is bf full of nuff nuffs
as i would like all those supporting to line up, and we can all walk past and punch them
AFL need to cut out all cheap shots, and first punch should be heavily penalised
Barely touched the neck if at all; the ‘impact’ was to the arm and shoulder. It was staging. How else can you explain (a) Neale collapsing like he’d been shot (b) Neale rubbing his jaw and holding up 3 fingers yet NO concussion test and played out the game?I do love all thr Geelong supporters saying its staging.
Apparently copping a swinging forearm to the neck shouldnt hurt.
You've had a "horror run" at the MRP and tribunal as your players are dirty sniping flogs

Let’s face it, Neale had a dirty game. He was beaten hands down by O’Connor, an decided to vent his anger by sniping and staging
No, but the way he reacted I’d have thought a concussion test would have been warranted. Agree? Or are you acknowledging Neale staged?You think everyone hit high gets concussed ?

Im hoping a Geelong player gets suspended every week, just for the outrage from Geelong fans. It’s all injustice to them.

Yes uno u
He is usually instigating though.Nope, it's because we're always the retaliator in these incidents, rarely the instigator, which is why we keep getting done.
That, and every time the AFL wants to crack down on some new thing they always pick a Geelong player to make an example of. It's usually Hawkins.
