Vickery cops 4 weeks [updated]

[The Big Richo]

plenty of difference.

Cox threw the first one. Vickery retaliated.

Staker was legit K.O'd. Cox stayed down for the free. might i add hes been doing this shifty poot his whole career

Bit harsh on Cox, he was held up by trainers on way off the ground and couldn't play so he was obviously concussed.

The similar to Hall bit was he just swung one blindly and hit him clean and dropped him when he was probably just trying to clip him in the chest.

I suppose any defence will hinge on whether we can.prove.that contact with his head was unintentional as he had intended to impact his chest. Wouldn't mind seeing the big O or McBeanstalk getting a run next week.

Hope so, will spew if Hampson comes in

Brian Lake only got 3 weeks for choking if Ty gets more than 2 its a disgrace.

if its deemed intentional he will get 5.

im actually pleased he did what he did.  i reckon more players should do this sort of thing after cheap shots.  a bit like saying if you take a cheapie im not putting up with it and you will get one back  with interest. good on him but i have to say how disappointing is it he did his usual disappering act after this incident. needed to stand up and didnt.

Cox has been elbowing his opponent in the guts just before the contest for his whole career. How many times have you seen him win tap outs while his opponent is cramping in the background. He gets away with it because they never call ruck infringements so early in a ruck contest.
Tonight it was his turn. He finally got what he deserved. I think you will find that if Cox does actually play another game that he will not be elbowing his opponent in the guts anymore. That is the point. Cox kept doing it because everyone let him. Someone should have got him earlier.
Good on Vickery for chanelling his inner Jack Dyer and putting an end to Cox's dirty ruck tactics.

The retaliator unfortunately always gets the punishment- 5 weeks

[TigerMonk]

A whack for a whack he will get 3 weeks  should get the best of ground medal

Cox should be sited by the MRP & cop a week

[Yeahright]

3, if his jaw is broken 4-6....nothing like halls considering it was in the ruck contest rather than off ball , was just clumsy , nothing in it

Shouldn't matter if his jaw was broken or not, he got knocked out, that's enough evidence for high impact.

There's a level above high impact if I'm not mistaken? Broken jaw = that.

Vickey served a two-game suspension for striking North Melbourne hard nut Michael Firrito in Round 12. He has 43.75 carryover points still hanging over his head from the Firrito hit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

West Coast's coach Adam Simpson held his nerve after the game, but his blood was clearly boiling over the incident that has left his retiring champion heavily concussed.
 
"He's not good," Simpson said of Cox.
 
"Let's not talk about that. It'll deal with itself throughout the week."

Vickery knows where the chin was. It was a perfect hit in boxing terms.

Dad would be proud.

Vickery needed something like this. His career is just trickling on. Need a spark or catalyst for change. This may be it.

Based on the points system.

High contact
Reckless
Medium force
Carryover points.
Cox subbed off concussed.

Ty looking at 3-4 weeks out based on that which would be pretty much season ending  .

[Go Richo 12]

Seen it a few times and just wondering whether Vickery intended to hit Cox more in the chest region but Cox had crouched in the contest meaning his head was lower, just putting it out there. Otherwise it was a pretty danm stupid thing to do

Thought same thing ,

The only half argument he has is down grading the intent. The trouble I see with that is that he copped one from cox just before hand and it looks like clear retaliation.
