The ridiculous thing is Douglas actually copped 4 games but due to pleading guilty and his good record it came back to 2.
Glass actually only copped a reprimand but his bad record tipped him over the 1 game barrier. I know which incident was far worse, Glass should of got 3-4

Call me crazy, but I thought Glass' action was more acceptable given the ball was in his vicinity. It was a last minute, bad decision to line wingard up, but Douglas (who I don't mind, for a crow) had all the time in the world to weigh the situation up. He got it horribly wrong, and is probably more than happy to just get two.

The problem with glass was he took his eyes off the ball, as soon as you do that your gone. If he had kept his eyes on the ball he wouldn't of even got sighted.

Correct, but his initial intention was the ball, and buggered up when he realised he couldn't get there in time. Glass deserves a game, but i rate Douglas' hit much worse. My opinion, of course.

With out guilty pleas etc, Douglas 4 and Glass 2 would be about right. Douglas 2 and Glass 1 doesn't seem to fit the actions though.

I thought it was a soft free kick to wingard at the time, havent seen a replay but i must have been drunk when i saw it.
The death penalty can never be excused as it allows a state a means by which it can pick and choose who is fit to live and who isnt
