Conca bump [update: all clear from MRP]

[WilliamPowell]

Goods news

But guarantee the next week if someone does it they'll cop 4 weeks

The week after they'll get off and then in come July they'll be handing out 6 weeks

No consistency with the MRP

This is the one that staggers me.
-------------------------------------------------
Lindsay Thomas, North Melbourne, has been charged with a Level three engaging in rough conduct offence against Gary Rohan, Sydney Swans, during the first quarter of the round Four match between North Melbourne and the Sydney Swans, played at the SCG on Sunday April 22, 2012.
 
 In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.
 
 Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Sydney Swans Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), severe impact (four points) and body contact (one point). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level three offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction. He also has 60 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 385 demerit points. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 288.75 points and a two-match sanction.
-------------------------------------------------

So Thomas slides in to get front position (putting his own leg and hip at risk) by blocking Rohan and because his foot lands on Rohan, breaking his leg, he gets two weeks.

Thought so

I love his hard at it spirit and a year ago a lot of you were having a good ol moan about how soft we were.  Not like anyones leg got snapped or something.

Fortunately for footy in general Thomas won his appeal and has been cleared

Even KB said this morning it had to thrown out

Wonder if the AFL will aappeal the appeal as under the rules they are allowed too

Who cares he should be suspended because of who he is - can't stand him

Surely mods of such a balanced site are above these sorts of unfounded biases? No?

I'm more interested in seeing players suspended just before we play their team, not after.

Oh no. I'm still waiting for the day Steve Milne goes to the tribunal to answer the charge.
WP the moderator I'm positive will have a balanced view on that.
