No Oppo Supporters Tom Stewart's targeted KO'ing of Prestia - 4 week ban

[Sterge]

Some of you need to chill out, be better than geelong supporters.

We dont need to wish injuries on anyone or hope someone evens it up.

Just be content in the fact we win when it really matters.

Also the thread is about Stewart and Prestia

AFL live feed setting the low expectation. AFL happy with 4. Discraceful. View attachment 1435169

CFL not AFL ,that is it’s new name now with this manipulation of suspension.

Afl ask for 4 weeks lol what a joke.Afl is a joke

So much for caring about CTE.

 

[Gak Attack]

What a joke. So its either going to be only 1 or 2 weeks more than Prestia himself will miss....

 

[captain blood 17]

4 weeks. Get ****ed AFL you weak as piss campaigners.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What a ****ing corrupt league.
I mean the AFL are asking for 4 weeks.
So no room too appeal lol
Gutless campaigners.

 

[Kegs]

4 weeks. Get ducked AFL you weak as piss campaigners.

Will probably get an apology from the AFL too for having his character questioned

 

[Squibbs]

Lynch would genuinely get 8 if he did it

 

[Coach_Required]

The two examples Stewart is using is also horse shit, both examples the players involved never left the ground and in the dangerfield case it was head against head clash. The Reid on Fyfe one could have been the same if Reid jumped off the ground when he hit Fyfe.

If cats get 3 weeks it will be the most biased BS we have seen in years, the fact the AFL is only asking for 4 also is a joke. What a shame of an organisation.

AFL'S SUBMISSION​

AFL counsel Nicholas Pane is speaking and reiterates its want for a four-week suspension.
"The bump was delivered by Stewart at speed after he'd gone past the ball with Presita unsuspecting and vulnerable to being injured," he said.
"The Injury suffered by Prestia, concussion, is a serious injury in itself.
"It's the very type of action which can cause serious injury."
He says players in The AFL have a far greater understanding of concussion than they did even 18 months ago in the Dangerfield incident.

so its a serious injury but 4 weeks should cover it, FMD

 

[Muddiemoose]

Always thought 4 was around the mark tbh
Still think that will be the outcome as well

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Would love Carro to get on her bike and with her contacts findout exactly why only 4 weeks by the A(nal)FL.

 

[tigersnag]

If there was any doubt the fix is in...

The AFL chose curious timing to announce a rule change. 1 hour before the tribunal sits. Gotta love the diversion tactics from the slime.

 

[Armitage Shanks]

By definition, the hit resulted in a mild traumatic brain injury (i.e., a concussion). They should really be using the correct terminology here to underpin the severity of the injury. Symptoms typically resolve within 3 months, give or take, but can persist depending on pre-existing factors.

This can't be the maximum sentence the AFL can give. This is a way worse look than Toby Greene touching an umpire.

 

[tiger_tough]

I would've gone 5 but 4 weeks is fine ya ****ing whingers

 

[Grockadoc]

The player's position is that 3 weeks is appropriate.

Of course it is. He wants the fewest weeks possible. What a straw argument.

 

[Coach_Required]

Here's a tip, if most cats fans are happy with 4 that tells you that 4 weeks is insufficient.

4 weeks is what it will be, there will be a riot if he gets 3 that they are asking for. It's what I said earlier, as soon as it was classified as careless and not intentional, it was never going to be more than 4.

 

[muzhogg]

i heard he still feels sick about it

let him off with 2 i reckon

At the rate it's going Prestia will get 6 weeks for causing him so much mental anguish.

 

[mellowyellow]

Geelong argue for 3 whilst the AFL says 4 How orchestrated is that

 

[Area51]

Who is sitting on the tribunal tonight?

 

[Grockadoc]

I expected it to be 4, but once again, I felt the AFL should make an example of head high hits.

How the hell can Stewart get 3 or 4 for this, but Greene get 6 for touching an umpire. The AFL has lost any and all credibility.

I don't think they really believe that. Must have a tough match up in 4 weeks

Which is where the system is broken.

I would've gone 5 but 4 weeks is fine ya ******* whingers

Be strong and bold.

Does it matter? Its already settled .
