The whole system makes no sense to me. A dangerous tackle, where the player is not concussed (refer Daniel) is a week and elbowing someone in the face is a fine. So many example of inconsistencies.

What is it going to take to get suspended for elbowing another player in the head when trying to break a tackle? A Philip Hughes like incident where the elbow causes a massive brain haemorrhage? Not good enough AFL.
You can go the other extreme with the Phil Davis flop that gave Jack Redpath 3 weeks

Jack was never lucky at the panel so yes rules for some.
In my opinion, Viney should get weeks for this. Sick of players doing this, it is so dangerous, and can cause serious injury.

2 weeks holiday should be heading his way
He's lucky because it should be more
That’s absolutely disgraceful from Viney. Just recklessly dangerous, a non football act with a potential for something serious to come of it.
Also heard Dunstall on 360 talking about how it isn’t a good look. How about stop worrying about optics and worry about punishing actual thug acts that can cause actual injury?
Anyway this is a massive blow for the rest of the competition. Viney playing for the Dees only hurts the Dees.
