yep reprimand

1 match ban but due to good record it came back to a reprimand
Disgraceful that it was even cited, great hit.

Wouldn't call blind-siding someone 5 metres off the ball a "great hit"....

I agree, it has no place in the game. Same with Douglas. There was no need for him to do what he did. The issue for me is ones like fyfe where the ball was there and he basically tried to protect himself and caught the guy high.

Oh look at that, fancy a Crows supporter posting that..

I guess a week IS a long time in footy after all, after all a week ago that was ok for Douglas to do to Ward

and georgiou who punches a bloke in the head only gets a reprimand

In fairness, he deserved it

Yep there is certainly a disconnect there.

My guy feel is that they are punishing the rough conduct charges by about 1 week too harshly. Ie reprimand for gia before he pleads out, 2 for Douglas pleaded down to 1 I doubt anyone would have issues with. But fyfe and Douglas getting 2 and georgiou not getting 1 is pretty poor

no doubt... but still, how can a bloke like fyfe get games and he get none... What if buddy was concussed??? would it have changed the decision...

Intentional 3 points, body contact 1 point, low impact 1 point, dickhead factor -5 points, no case to answer

if it happened to a crows player bennymacca would be getting a petition started to have him suspended!

Nice try, but you will see I am arguing that gia should not have got a week and dougy should have been suspended.

And if we had Shaun mckernan still in the team, no amount of contact would make a suspension warranted

Hey, I never said Douglas' was a great hit.
