    Do you feel stronger that Smith has been badly done by or that Stewart deserved more?

    I think Bailey should get more for his two when compared to Stewart's one. As bad as Stewart's was (it was a dog act), headbutting and bringing the game (two separate events) into disrepute should be more than one spur of the moment act of stupidity. I think we can count our lucky stars its only four for Bailey

    I would have been happier if Stewart had received 5 weeks (not because we play the Cats in 5 weeks) and I agree Smith was a touch lucky. There will always be a margin of error when these verdicts come down.

    Hawk’s headband fine upheld
    Nell Geraets - The Age


    Hawthorn’s James Sicily has failed in his bid to overturn a charge of misconduct for ripping off Bulldog Aaron Naughton’s headband during the third quarter of their clash last round.


    The AFL originally offered Sicily a $1000 fine with an early plea. However, the 27-year-old defender decided to submit a written submission to challenge it. But the charge was upheld on Wednesday, resulting in an increased fine of $1500. The two players engaged in a tussle during the game at Marvel Stadium on Friday, which left Naughton with a ripped guernsey and his headband yanked off.

    Has Tom Stewart been cannonized yet? He's the true hero of this story.

    For farks sake. He went past the ball and deliberately lined up an unsuspecting opponent, knocking him into next week. It was caught by about 150 different camera angles. What choice did he have but to "own up and take responsibility". Also those Pork-Barrell Park pricks tried to argue a 3 week sentence at the tribunal - such is the contempt they have for Prestia and the rest of the competition. I guess when you have weaseled over $300m from the taxpayer to build your pissy little regional toy ground with no wings that gets used 8 days a year and is the plaything for one club only and locals aren't allowed to use it, you would feel invincible and act like an arrogant asshole club as well.

    What Tom Stewart did was intentional and Dion Prestia will have unknown long term consequences for the rest of his life.

    I'm certain if Smith had have knocked out Zach T he would have been punished accordingly.

    The AFL bang on about duty of care and the head is sacrosanct - but it is all lip service. Should've got six weeks.

    It is about time the footy media woke up and stopped defending the perpetrator as a default reaction.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I can't believe he copped a fine for that.

    I couldn't agree with you more. You would have to think, in the end, it has also cost Richmond the win. Stewart's act was malicious. He got off lightly with four weeks, but so did Bailey. Bailey's two acts (of stupidity) should have been worth more as well.

    How was the coach Sedat, runs on to the field and hugs Stewart. FFS, I would blast him for letting the whole team down for the next 4 weeks.

    Not one thing has been said or written about Prestia's welfare - I hate the media
