I'm guessing the spear tackle he did

The JVR, Jeffo, Disco (Jeffco) holy trinity will finally assemble

Didn’t seem to bother Brown that much.

Hopefully we get more than 2 marks out of this three-tall combo this week under the roof

Thanks. I was there, too, but missed it.

Anyone else?

Guess so, it wasn't mentioned on the telecast as an issue, and they normally jump pn those to create drama and commentary 

 

I thought he'd be ok seeing as the giants player was OK.

I mean Greene knees someone & gets a fine.

Poor guy, his 1st game and he gets suspended

Nobody seemed to make much noise about this during the game!? And they do love to drag us during commentary, so pretty rough outcome. 

Wonder if there’s a stat for a goal and suspension on debut. 

 

What about the giants player that elected to bump and got Tom McDonald high with his hip. The impact was high enough to rule the giants player out of the game. So if they are adjudicating it on action that technically should also have been a suspension.

Absolute joke

Suspension for that?!? cmon let’s get real  

we must challenge

Watching on TV, I remember it happening and definitely thought it was crude.

Not surprised he was cited

Point by point -

Careless Conduct, Medium Impact, High Contact

Correct, harsh, and debatable.

 

Not pleased but I feel like AJ is going to need a week off anyway after the amount of bodywork he did in his first game.

He'll be back fresh and ready to contribute against the plethora of talls at Gold Coast.

 

Edit: And Brown should also be copping a fine for simulation. That was embarrassing for football.

He's a Melbourne player. Lucky he didn't get 4 weeks.

Wasn't much in it and yep I'm sure he'll come back firing.

He's getting the full experience. Must really feel as if he's arrived!

Strawbs O'Dwyer recounted on The Front Bar that he was suspended in his first game then again in his return game!

What about all the flops and calls for frees by TG (4) whenever he is touched by an opposition player.

I agree 

There wasn't much in it but the Giants player accentuated the contact to make it look worse

There was not much contact with the head and the ground either

This was always going to be a suspension whether we like it or not. Arms pinned, driven down. He maybe gets off if he can show he didn’t pin Brown’s right hand but the way the Tribunal works with dangerous tackles, I doubt it. 

Yeah thought this would happen as soon as I saw it. Pinned the arms and drove the opposition players head into the ground, if I remember correctly. Gotta love the aggression though.
