[Elixuh]

Has to be a week one would think.

If he goes Duncan has too as well

Zorko got a week for some fingers to the stomach. That is a clenched swining fist.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Pretty soft, but going by the current interpretation of that sort of thing, it has to be a week. Silly boy, Zach.

 

[HarryZLA]

1 week.

I don't understand why they even do it? How brain dead do you have to be to still be throwing punches like these?

I'd be livid at him if I was an Essendon supporter.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Dumb act.

 

[Boxhead_31]

How many now for Daniher? Was a fair old elbow to the back of the Carlton players head, and knowing the Carlton medicals reports the player will have a severed C4/5 vertebrae

 

[jimmy.h]

Didn't Cotchin avoid suspension for exactly this a few weeks ago?

 

[BF Tiger]

Intentional, medium impact to the body.

 

[Skipper_]

Hopefully a fine. Probably a week.

 

[Substance]

He has a clean record, but that looks like 1 week off to me

Cotchin has got away with this s**t for years. Players have to learn to not be rough against Carlton because they flop and the doc makes sure the MRP get ya

Stupid post. Kreuzer didn't come back on the field after Dangerfield's illegal tackle.

Was it due to concussion, or the wrist injury?

 

[maskmcgee]

Hits Plowman's arm with his wrist, Plowman goes down like he was kicked in the head, then everyone forgets about it. Low impact if that.

Casboult on the other hand charging elbow first into Merrett a few minutes earlier forcing him off the ground will be interesting since it was easily twice the force should be twice the penalty.

 

[BRAB]

Poor plowman seems to get hit a lot

I don't either. I can only guess that some of these players aren't too bright.

 

[Whiskers]

Are body punches fines or suspensions? I'm confused as Zorko got done but no one else has. Usually it's a fine yeah?
Could be trouble with a Carlton medical report.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

1 week suspension.

 

[Unfazed]

Knowing Carlton's medical reports he'll get a week. Disappointing but the week's rest will do him good. He looked cooked last week and a win next week was highly unlikely anyway. Gives us a chance to have him raring to go for the last 2 games and hopefully finals.

 

[HairyO]

That was a pretty serious swinging arm. Definitely not in the tummy tap range.

Should be a week. But where is he in the Brownlow stakes?

 

[JayJ20]

Probably a week.

Dumb by Merrett with a crucial clash next week

 

[Vindicater]

Will get a week.

Silly boy with how much attention this sort of thing is getting at the moment.

 

[raskolnikov]

* off Hame. Last week they had Dangerfield on and pleading his case. This week with Merrett "Hang him "
