Daniel Jackson cops 3 weeks for headbutting

[one-eyed]

Jacko about to head into the tribunal now. The Club is looking to downgrade the charge rather than contest it fully.

Down grade it to what exactly

The last 2 weeks clubs have tried to do that and have failed

Downgrade it to a kiss

I'd say from Intentional to Reckless, but not sure what that gains...

Richmond doctor Greg Hickey has argued Jackson has a history of becoming aggressive and aggravated when he's copped a hit to the head. He said Daniel at the time of the incident was suffering from concussion from the collision with Campbell Brown that happened just moments before.

LOL remember when Weightman used to blame his diabetes!

i dont rate this bloke but have to say hes played some decent footy in recent times. one thing for sure his big body will be missed.

As you say WP, there's no point in arguing on moral grounds (ie,he was provoked), if retaliators have an unsuccessful history at the tribunal.
Maybe we should go the sleazy Collingwood route like they did with Maxwell, and hire that great champion of the innocent Frank Galbally  , and a team of bio-mechanic experts.

It hasn't happened much over the years, Clawsy, but i agree with you!

Some symptoms of hypoglycemia are irritability, anxiety, anger and confusion. Being a type 1 diabetic playing football, possibly a very valid excuse for the flea.

If they tested the blood sugar of every drunk on an assault charge they would find a vast majority have low blood sugar levels.

The challenge has failed. Jacko is out for the next 3 weeks and apparently very dejected leaving the tribunal.

why challenge if you are going to get the two match ban "downgraded" to ... a two match banned???

that is stupid!

he was very good against Hawthorn, and we will miss his hardness around the midfield.

 

[Infamy]

Was pretty rough to get the punishement he did, but he was stupid to contest it, especially with such flimsy evidence/reasoning
Would have been better to argue the contact wasn't hrad enough to justify a report and try and get off completely

He beat the judiciary after the Freo game. Can't win them all Jacko.

Will be missed against the Bombers who he has played well against in the last 3 Dreamtimes.

Will miss the trip across the border to play the Power and the St Kilda game at ES also.

Yeah with that sort of bird, he should of just smashed him in the snotter and been done with it.
