That looks a lot more clear cut. Went past the footy, looked at him and gave him an elbow.

If McStay doesn't come back, we're looking at 4+.

Careless, high contact - can’t be debated

Medium v high impact - only really low impact (McStay was fine), but it gets the “potential to cause injury” subjectivity applied - is it medium impact or high?

Medium 2 weeks
High 3 weeks

My guess: medium impact (2 weeks).
Pretty sure careless/high/medium is 1 week rather than two.

Could plausibly see an argument for intentional but I think if he was to get it I think Melbourne would be able to argue it was careless successfully as it looked like it was "in the play" and more an attempt to bump him off the footy rather than snipe him.

So really, could be anywhere from 0 (most unlikely as I think it's very generous to saay that that was low impact) to 3 weeks.

Accident, PLUS it seemed to do McStay some good... 0 weeks 👍
Honestly think he has form in that regard. McStay has taken a bump or whack a few times that seems to fire him up
 
Going to depend on how this is graded, which might depend on Collingwood's injury report.
Then there's the grey area of potential to cause injury.

On basic metrics, it's either:
Intentional, low impact, high contact = 1 week
Intentional, medium impact, high contact = 2 weeks

Can't see how it gets high impact unless there's a broken jaw or delayed concussion. Also can't see how it's any less than above.
Gut feel is 2 weeks.
