    How is this not regarded in the same way? Serious question. K

    Nothing in it but the MRP is a circus so he'll get 2 weeks

    Some are saying he didn’t have eyes on the ball as justification for suspension. Well he did but shifted focus at last second on where ball was going as it was coming down steeply. Looks like he clipped Ballard head with the tip of his shoulder or missed on the spoil follow through. Purely accidental buts that’s 2-3 weeks for an MFC player

    It’s a [censored] football action. It was in play and his intention was to spoil. For goodness sake why was Ballard even allowed back on when he already copped a head knock earlier? 
    Absolute joke if he gets suspended. Which means he will undoubtedly get 3 weeks 

    If he wore a Geelong jumper it would be play on 😡

    It was nothing and he didn’t have concussion so I would be shocked if he gets any suspension. The blame should be placed on suns’ medical staff for sending a player back on the field who had already been banged up earlier and shouldn’t have been playing.

    C'mon mate, you really suggesting that this actually should be looked at? Look at it from a vision point of view and not just a picture. This high tackles happen 10 times every single game. If Chol got weeks for this then shut the whole joint up for good because the game would be cooked.

    Just remember one got stretched off on a stretcher and one got caught a high tackle and played out the game with absolutely zero issues.

    certainly a week or two. hopefully just one. go for a spoil, miss and knock a bloke out, in front on contact and you’re done. 

    not saying i agree, just guessing what will happen

    Didn't he pass a concussion test?

    Trial by media. The next TV contract will include a Judge Judy style tribunal to be followed by Lyon, Browne and Buckley discussing the fall out on On the Bench.

    Underside of his upper arm connects,  as his fist is trying to connect with ball.

    Jonathan Brown has said a suspension would be the worst tribunal decision ever. Pretty strong.

    The notion of taking your eyes off the ball is a joke. He was 10m away when he looked to see where the player was. He then tried to connect with the footy. If taking your eye off the ball is the trigger for suspension- how far back can you go? 20m? 50m?

    Yep.

    Think he has a right time to actually glance first to see who was ahead of him..

    Pretty simple, MFC player, automatic 4 weeks down to 3 with early plea.

    Apparently the ABC's Coronation coverage was suggesting Bowie would go for 6 weeks for headbutting... but other than that, didn't hear about it... 🤷‍♂️

    Agree wholeheartedly. 
     

    Sometimes all you have is the opposition player positioning to gauge your spoil attempt when the ball is coming over the back. 
     

    Did he make him earn it? Of course. It’s part of the friggin game ffs.

    Jono Brown the voice of reason here. Jay Clark can go [censored] himself.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
