I agree with this. They tacked the extra week on for the sake of it. There is no reason for it to be 4. Challenge and get it back to 3.Damo Barrett on AFL Daily: Three should have been enough, no reason not to challenge
Lycett's action was considerably less violent than Neale-Bullen's.
And McHenry's injury was far less severe than the Crows player in that Dees game.
Comparatively, SL should get 3 games. Or NB should have gotten 5 to 6 games.
Based on Fritsch, etc then SL should have gotten 1 game, but realistically SL should be penalised more than that. But so should those other cases!!!!
Bloody hell, some players running around at the moment seem to have been kissed on the old todger by a fairy.
Proof of Port Tax.
It's like calculating GST.
What’s your justification for it being worse? Neal bullen slung him to the ground from a height using his jumper. Lycett wrapped him up while basically on his knees and rotated his body to put him on the ground. Definitely less forceful. And the getting off him has nothing to do with the tackle and shouldn’t come in to it.I thought Lycetts was worse than Neal-Bullens personally, and the refusing to get off him for 20 seconds afterwards
Don't forget the Primus rule changes. You can tell each time who those new to following Port are. They have faith the next player doing the same thing will get the same penalty. This is what angers me about the penalty. If I truly believed that a new standard had been set and a big name Vic player doing the same thing would get the same penalty I'd be '4 seems a week too much, but that's the new standard for everyone so I can live with it'. We all know that won't happen though. The mental and physical gymnastics to get a 'good bloke' downgraded for something very similar to 2 weeks sometime this year or next will just have me raging, even though I know it's going to happen.Port players hold a lot of suspension records - Pickett most weeks for a bump, Lycett most weeks for a ‘sling’ tackle, Kornes most weeks for a push, Poole most weeks for a tummy tap, P.Burgoyne most weeks for a ‘spear’ tackle etc

Nice guy Lou Codge got 2 weeks for slamming a bloke's head into a goal post. If a Port player did that, there would have been calls for a jail sentence.Don't forget the Primus rule changes.

Or Steve Hocking had a look at the fixture and realised Geelong are the 4th gameMaybe it was 3 then Ed rang Gill?
Confirmed not appealing.
I'm fine with it honestly (would have been fine either way). Feels like we are now saying "Ok we accept the mistake and that this is the standard now, now follow it with other players".
Yes we all know they wont but it puts us in a better position to put pressure when they dont.Hah........ hahahahaha........... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seems the hatred of Port Adelaide has rolled over from the SANFL to the VFL. I thought 3 games was a stretch, 2 games about right.
And to all you cows supporters tugging off thinking you've had a little win. GNAD.
25 - 24 and counting. We've proved over the years we are superior to you. Those two flags you snagged were rigged, they changed the finals system because of your fluke wins. You are little sister to Port Adelaide.
I dont.Yes we all know they wont but it puts us in a better position to put pressure when they dont.
Probably wont mean anything but I like the principle.
i hope so, but doubt itAm I the only one who saw Lycett's Mrs and thought she is to short... We need him to find a taller girlfriend so we can have some 200+ cm father sons come through...
Andrew Moore - Career for asking a question.Matt Thomas most weeks for getting shoved into an umpire by an opponent.
