Cam Howat reported and out for 3 weeks

[Little Jackie]

He should have taken the two weeks.
He shouldn't have hit him (behind play) in the first place.

Correct .

So how many wins in a row do we need before you say something positive about TW?

 

[Son of Dad]

The footage is inconclusive but I'm not sure why Cam and the club appealed when he pleaded guilty for striking  ???.

that's what baffles me...he either hit Hartlett or he didn't and by admitting to striking he was always gonna get done by the tribunal. Considering the lack of footage it wasn't going to be downgraded after he admitted to the act

silly thing to do maybe, but a bit of mongrel doesn't go astray

Dont get too carried away, last week was 16th Vs 15th remember.
And the first half was terrible by both teams, oh you forgot about that did you

I've been scratching my head over this one too. Was he trying for only 1 week? Was he hoping the charge being downgraded from deliberate to reckless would mean a lowering of the sentence. Was he upset that someone might have thought he meant to hit the guy? Can't help thinking the whole appeal was a mistake if he was going to plead guilty. What sort of appeal is that?

When I watched the video I could see Howat was watching the ball not Heartless when Heartless went down. I have no doubt Heartless was holding him and I have no doubt Howat lashed out without looking to get rid of the scragging prick. Reckless yes, deliberate no. Be that as it may he should have taken the deal if he felt he was guilty of the offence. The AFL are consistently unfair when it comes to these matters.

Cam was trying to downgrade the charge to one week but given it was off the ball once Cam admitted guilt to striking he was gone. The AFL aren't going to tolerate off the ball strikes especially as Carlton claimed Hartlett had concussion. There was inconclusive evidence whether Howat caused Hartlett's concussion until Cam pleaded guilty  ???. Silly appeal.

fact is he got what he deserved & he should have taken the 2 weeks instead of wasting time & money
have a rest for 3 weeks get some skill & manners

Think this we will see of Howat in the yellow and black. Out for three weeks lets a youngster like Edwards in and he will struggle to break back in.

I was thinking that too. Feel a bit sorry for the guy. If I was him I'd be spending all my free time for the next 3 weeks kicking a ball with my right foot.
