MRP / Trib. Tom Stewart bump on Prestia - 4 weeks to freshen up

[thecatattack]

Pretty nasty stuff.

Our best player is probably looking at 4 weeks I'd say.

I'd say it was intentional, severe (maybe high) and then high looking at a guaranteed 3+ at the tribunal.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Nothing in it!!!

Stewart will likely get 3-4 weeks.

But those Richmond fans calling it a sniper act etc are off the mark.

You need to remember these incidents all take place in split seconds and at high speed.

Having seen it live and then on replay countless times, it seems to me that Tom expected Prestia to take possession of the ball. But Prestia chose not to and jumped off the ground to tap the ball to a teammate. Prestia was hit when he was still off balance which contributed to the hit being high and not shoulder to shoulder. Stewart didn’t leave the ground and had his shoulder tucked in, indicating it wasn’t a deliberate hit to the head and there was an element of poor luck for both parties in it being forcefully high.

Obviously the act was extremely poorly executed and he will deserve the suspension he gets, nobody is arguing against that, but Stewart is one of the best executors of the (legal) bump in our team and it’s exactly what he unsuccessfully tried to do here.

75% chance it’s graded High-high and it’s 3 weeks

25% chance it’s graded severe and he gets 4 at the tribunal

Either way, fully deserved. s**t act.

 

[cats_09]

I can see it being graded as severe with Stewart going straight to the tribunal - thinking he'd be looking at 4 weeks on the sidelines, but if offered 3 weeks you accept it & run

 

[kreuze_missile]

had his shoulder tucked in

His elbow is not even close to being tucked in... take off your blue and white coloured glasses.

I know it's been a few years since i studied biology, but pretty sure that the 'shoulder' & 'elbow' are different body parts - you may want to reread what was written before ranting on an opposition board

This is a split second before the contact. Stewart’s shoulder is completely tucked in. The contact was between his shoulder and Prestia’s head.

 

[Baudolino]

It's worth 4 weeks. Anything less than 3 is insufficient for what was a really poor act, anything more than 4 is over the top though.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Just three

Bahahaha... Best you put on your nanna's glasses. Coz u do need it.
Elbow down, shoulder hits him flush on that glass jaw.

Herald Sun reporting this morning likely 3-4 weeks, and agree. Take three weeks and run if we get offered it, tribunal hearing would likely result in 4.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Happy with 3, 4 weeks is par.
s**t act from a bloke who should know better.

 

[catman2006]

He will get 2-3 weeks not doubt as he decided to bump just unlucky 15cm lower and would have been a fair hit but the head rightly so is a protected space, Tigers fans are funny saying intentional targeting numpties deluded they are.

I thought it was careless rather than intentional personally …everything looks worse when slowed down and replayed frame by frame

He should had attempted a tackle and he knows that

2-3 with a early guilty plea as his feet never left the ground which is what they had been big on for the last few years with high head bumps.

 

[STPer18]

One week good bloke discount, another week discount with North next week.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

3-4. Probably 4.

Yeah it looked like Prestia was slipping down at that moment …incredibly unlucky as Stewart’s feet didn’t leave the ground to hit him high

 

[Joey JoJo Shabad]

Is this the first time Stewart been to the tribunal ?.

Totally correct, if Prestia isn’t off balance Stewart bumps him in the shoulder or chest and it’s nothing more than a free kick. That doesn’t absolve Stewart’s culpability of course, he deserves and will get multiple weeks. But some are carrying on like this was Hall and Staker mkII which is just ridiculous.

Agreed x100.

Is this the first time Stewart been to the tribunal ?.

If he goes to the tribunal, yes it will be his first time

Last year he was reported by the MRO officer & fined for wrestling Charlie Cameron during our clash with Brisbane at the GABBA

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I blame Prestia for being so tall. If he was smaller Stewart makes contact with air..

Take no notice of most things Richmond supporters say. Most of them are psychotic and should be in an asylum.

Just heard on the 11 o click news the AFL are looking at not counting the goal that was kicked while Prestia lay injured as the game should not of continued while he was knocked could loose four points

Can't tackle a bloke who hasn't got the ball knock his head off was his only option
