Dustin Martin can accept $1000, rough conduct LTaylor and also accept $1500, unnecessary contact with open hand to face of NRobertson.

Nick Robertson can accept 1 game, headbutting Trent Cotchin and can also accept $1500, kneeing Dustin Martin.

Nick Robertson cleared contact with knee to TCotchin. Force used in the contact was below that required for a report. No further action.

On that view there is no way they can say he even touched his face let alone poked him in the eye. Trouble is that if you contest it you might get a week. So its take the "you did it" and the fine or fight the good fight and possibly get a week. Stupid system if you ask me.

Any proof he even poked that potato in the eye? Footage is inconclusive but it certainly doesn't look like he did.

While Martin escaped suspension for making unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the face of Nick Robertson, he will be walking a tightrope for the rest of the season after being fined for separate incidents by the MRP.

The midfielder will be suspended for one match – and ruled ineligible for the Brownlow Medal – if he commits a third low-level offence this season after also being charged with rough conduct on Brisbane Lion Lewis Taylor on Monday.

Martin was fined $1000 for his bumping Taylor behind play in the opening minute of the game, and $1500 for making "unreasonable and unnecessary contact with an open hand" to Robertson's face.

The MRP graded the second offence as careless conduct with low impact to the head after deciding the open-handed action was not a strike but remained significant enough to draw a charge.

I'd like to see a shot of bruising on Dustys back and a kidney scan. Absolute disgrace, the provocation that umpires (and by association the AFL ignore is shocking.

The vicious little prick gets a week for a concerted assault designed to distract, exhaust and injure two of our players?  Bout right.
