An increase for his bad record in the past 12 months (guilty of rough conduct in round 12) and an increase for pleading not guilty took it up to 10 weeks. Most in the media know this but are having a dummy spit about it because they were left out of a closed tribunal. For what its worth it was a closed tribunal at West Perths request as they wanted to protect Antonio.
Horrible tackle? Geeze i dont see it and dont think its that bad at all. No injury and nothing would even be looked at
First person I've heard on all forms of radio, social media etc to claim that tackle was "freaking horrible"

I'm not even sure it was reckless. Antonio was head/side on to the player and Chatley's forward drive pushed his back. The only thing Antonio could do was try to drag him down with him. Unfortunately, the forward momentum by Chatley, combined with his jumper slipping up, meant he landed awkwardly. It was just a horrible accident in an unfortunate series of circumstances. The tribunal's decision is a disgrace.
Nobody is trivalising Chatley's injuries. We can walk and chew at the same time.
I am happy with 10 sends the correct message that you dont sling people on their heads with their arms tangled in a jumper . Dont do it ,its bad . I reckon those that argue with that are reckless in their view . The fact he pleaded not guilty . What so if found not guilty you could do that again . Please . The kid needs educating
I know Mitch personally and it is very much in tune with his character, absolute champion bloke.
Not me it was a reckless freaking horrible tackle to me too
I know it's all done and dusted as the Club is not going to appeal at Antonio's request (which is understandable under the circumstances), but just as a final comment even if it was reckless still think 10 weeks is extremely harsh when you consider there have been others who have received lighter sentences when their indiscretion was deliberate. Anyway all said and done it's a tragedy whichever way you look at it. Doubt anyway if Antonio would have felt like playing football for awhile. Just hope that whatever the outcome on Chatley is (and let's hope with time that there will be good news one day?), that Antonio can get back to playing football again next year once his penalty is completed.
Why the hell does City of Vincent have a logo on the field, they have done nothing for WAFL football. The lights, toilets in the outer, scoreboard, the grandstand falling apart, the playing surface, their maintenance of Leederville Oval is disgraceful.
Agreed, I don't like going there. No redeeming features whatsoever.
Cole has burnt out
had a dip in form but his last game before he got sick, he had 22 times in the wet.
