Sean Burgoyne Suspended

[Newman]

Have heard on the radio that Burgoyne has been given 4 weeks. If this is the case it proves how bad this tribunal system really is. That is over half of what Hall got. Compare the incidents and they dont even come close. Another nail in the coffin for AFL footy.

[Booney]

WTF?

My God,my freakin' God.....

[brod]

As a Hawthorn supporter I was disappointed that there was not a free kick given to Sam Mitchell, but as a FOOTBALL supporter I am even more disappointed that Burgoyne has been cited for what clearly was nothing but accidental contact.

[hearts on fire]

Surely there is some mistake? Burgoyne hardly touched Sam Mitchell..........................

[Newman]

No mistake mate has been offered 4 weeks 3 with an early plea.

This is pathetic by the AFL!

The AFL are a disgrace, i don't know why i follow this sh1t!

Other than the shoulder to the head and the stretcher that was required.

pfffft, the contact was very minimal and was not worthy of a three match suspension. A free kick yes but a suspension NO!

What HOF said, I'm amazed by this one

A man is knocked out cold and you believe it is "very minimal " and he was "hardly touched"...strange very strange.It had to be looked at surely as he actually had not yet taken the ball and was hit high.....I assume you think the Ben McGlynn incident with Cornes was laughable and should be thrown out too(personally I don't), has he actually had the ball and then got straight up without being knocked out

He came back on the ground he could not have hit him that hard

exactly what Norm said, how long was he off for? 20 minutes? it wasn't very hard at all!

[redden whites]

No just enough to make him fall into an unconscious state

Accidental contact . IT does happen.

Accidental contact . IT does happen.

It does not have to be deliberate to at least face the tribunal .Ask Peter Everitt and Stephen Powell or according to Dogs fans Chris grant

[hearts on fire]

It was worthy to get a look at but no way was it worthy of a suspension!

4 Games worth? THe guy has a great record

It may not yet be .

[SCD]

IMO Mitchell deserved a free kick and that's all.

Contact was very minimal but the big problem Burgoyne has is that he ran past the ball in the contest and the AFL doesn't like that. BUT there is no way know this is worth the same as the McGlynn incident which was far worse!!
