LMAO with Balme saying that "of course Hall got off, he played for Sydney!" when the 2005 Prelim hit was brought up by Richmond and quickly shelved by the tribunal.

Bachar got two weeks . Lucky .

[Yeahright]

Careless, high and high = 3 down to 2
Intentional, high and high = straight to tribunal

Would think high contact is clear and high impact is logical considering he was knocked out. Comes down to the intention which I reckon they'll say he was careless. Swung the arm to free himself, not to clock him in the side of the head

Yep straight to the tribunal

Thoughts now? Weeks

Just interested how these fools come up with these conclusions

Bit late since we know the result but obviously I was wrong as I thought it would have been graded careless. Since it went to tribunal I would have assumed he would get a minimum 3 weeks (intentional being worse than careless) but he seems to have received what he would have got for careless anyway. He should take it and run!

agree

[Francois Jackson]

Yeh look, he totally meant to drop the little prick and imo, it's the best thing he's done in his entire tenure.

We should be celebrating his attitude, not tiptoeing around it.

Fk carlton and fk lamb.
He obviously deserved it.

Shalom.

hahahahahahahaha gold shalom inshallah

Did he stand for the judge?

[the claw]

oh bugger only two weeks  there is no getting rid of this bloke.

[big tone]

That is a pretty bad precedent imo.

Regardless of who it was or who he plays for, that sort of action should be more than just 2 weeks. He knocked a player out that basically wasn't ready for any sort of contact.
How would we all react if a Carlton player did the same action to Dusty and only got 2 week?

Didn't Rance get 2 for nothing more than just a forearm slap on Watts?

Bless you Houli, 2 weeks is still a travesty.  A pox on all their families for this outrage

The involvement of Turnbull and Aly is a disgrace

He should've demanded Sharia Law, then Lamb, Carlton & the AFL would've had to pay him the Jizya for being the infidel Dhimmi. 

In the spirit of inclusiveness the AFL would've obliged him quicker than when they had built the "all inclusive" prayer rooms.
