Was Weitering lucky?

3000 dollars isn't much in the scheme of things.

I get that suspension in the finals is a double whammy but eye gouging is a serious thing.

Hard to determine if intentional but nonetheless he was found guilty.

Greene copped a week for the same thing a while ago.

    Not lucky. He's a key Carlton player.

    No way would he get suspended for a simple misunderstanding. Minnow player  Toby Bedford Aka GWS  got 1 week for rough play.

    No chance a Carlton player gets suspended for rough play. Most of them a sissy bluebaggers anyway.

    Carlton has had so much "luck" at the Tribunal that I think it's fair to say now that "luck" plays no part in these decisions.

    There has been some ridiculous MRP and tribunal decisions this year, but this wasn't one of them.

    Weitering inadvertently glanced Greene's face whilst trying to remove Greene from his headlock on McGovern. Fine was correct decision.

    On the other hand Bedford was stiff. Hope he gets off on appeal.

    No this was probably one of the few decisions they have gotten right this year. How McCartin got off last week was bewildering

    Not bewildering at all. Sydney and Carlton players will get special treatment just like Cripps late last season. Lined up and  belted a lions player causing  heavy concussion and got off.  A Dee would of got 4-6 weeks.

    He didn't gouge the eyes. He made contact to the face and moved his hand away quickly and has copped a 3k fine for the mistake. Slow mo makes it look like it lingers but it does not. Move along.

    What the hell was McGovern doing laying there like a rag doll, trying to get a free, should have grappled Toby’s thumb and given it a twirl he would have soon let go, quite absurd really.!!!

    From the footage it seems like the MRP got this one right enough as far as Weitering's brief incidental contact. Definitely not acceptable but short of a suspension I would have thought.

    Meanwhile...

    Toby Green had a player in an arm lock by the throat and was using that lock to drag and twist the player around after play had clearly stopped.

    So for me the real story here is the verification that the 'Toby Greene good guy transformation' is a full whitewash.

    Malicious, intentional, drew blood, high contact, low act: 3 weeks.

    On OTC they checked and the first offence by Green was a fine, a week later he did it again and then got suspended. So this fits that same approach.

    Weitering was lucky that the fingernail that broke the skin on Toby's eyebrow didn't dig into his cornea , which could have caused longterm consequences. Most taclklers seem to avoid the eye, but  not Weiering ( or  that viscious recidivist  Judd.)

    He put his fingers deliberately in Greenes eyes and got away with it, it’s a low act and he’s extremely lucky. While Bedford’s tackle causes no injury and he misses a final. Great system.

    Weitering is a big teddy bear. He even sooked it up when he ran into the fence and the Giants supporter stuck his arms up to stop clashing with him. Big sook.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
