Hudson has been charged with rough conduct for his late hit on Gus in the last quarter. How many weeks?

Jack thinks 2 weeks.   :lol  Got in Hudson's face just after it and was telling him 2 weeks.  Funny moment in an otherwise crappy day.

None - yeah it was late but the right decision was made, free + 50 metres

But knowing the MRP he'll get 10 weeks

MRP said Hudson had no case to answer.....


The match day report against the Western Bulldogs Ben Hudson for engaging in rough conduct against Richmond’s Angus Graham was assessed. The panel said Graham was contesting a mark while Hudson had jumped in the air in a bid to spoil the ball. After he has left the ground, Hudson realises he will not be able to spoil and withdraws his arm, to his side. It was the view of the panel that Hudson left the ground before the mark was contested and that his arm was initially out to spoil. The umpire in control of play at the time paid a 50-metre penalty against the Western Bulldogs’ player for late contact and it was the panel’s view that his actions were not reportable. No further action was taken.

Minson got off as well...

Contact between the Western Bulldogs’ Will Minson and Richmond’s Nathan Foley from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. Contact was made to Foley’s shoulder, which then slid up high. It was the view of the panel that Minson’s actions were not a striking motion and no further action was taken.
