Yep agree. The problem is when the legal eagles come into play.

What it does do is set a precedent. You can now take someone out.

I know they probably feel they need to assess this carefully, but what’s there to deliberate over, really? We all know that if this was just some fringe player it’d be an automatic 2 weeks and everyone would agree and move on. But because it’s Cripps they’re treating this like the video of the Kennedy assassination.

The longer this goes the more likely he gets off. If they are deliberating for over an hour they have doubts about the original penalty or actions.
Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy.

Yes, that’s my opinion as well. He’ll get a week for certain.

AFL is now a totally corrupt organization, and bug eyed damn McLaughlan, wonders why fans are turning away, not coming, its corrupt, its as bad as the Mafia now, no difference, one rule for a golden child, one rule for the rest, I hope Melb smash em, and smash him, I have no love for the Dees, but this is just an outrage, an sets a precedent, a dangerous one too. You can take out a player, head high, get suspended, appeal twice, and bobs your Uncle you get off. AFL is destroying the game, if hed been a Magpie, the prick would have got 3 weeks, no questions asked . Up yours AFL , stick your corrupt League up your clackers. Fans from all other teams, will be furious over this.
