Yeah, happy with that. His first game back will be North Melbourne if he comes straight in, so hopefully they put him in the VFL for a week.

No way. Bring him back for that one. I reckon they'll get it down to 6.

7 weeks. Sounds reasonable to me.

How convenient. So it was meant to be 8 weeks but the marketing $$ potential was too much to resist....

Hopefully players start to learn, you can't bump the head

It does seem way to convenient.

Great minds that was my first reaction too.

I’d be more convinced of it being a conspiracy if I was more certain Webster was actually best 22 at St Kilda.

This could Todd Curley him.

Todd Curley used as a verb.... The things woof delivers.

Look he may not come in straight away but the afel won't let even a slight opportunity slip to rake in some extra $$$.

Seemed to work out alright for Maynard (not so much for Brayshaw).

[Mantis]

The lack of consistency the AFL show in handing out punishments to similar incidents, whilst hardly surprising is an indictment on the organization.

The Kossi Pickett hit on Bailey Smith was not worth 2 weeks.
The Brayden Maynard hit on Angus Brayshaw was not worth 0 weeks.
The Jimmy Webster hit on Jy Simpkin was not worth 7 weeks.

They're their own worst enemies.

Yep. High time for a review and change in approach. Unfortunately, there’ll never be a consistent and independent determination as too much $ at stake.

I agree. I think all this shows is that its a lottery based more on who you are and who you play for than the actual action.

The reluctance of he AFL to establish a proper framework and stick to it, but instead provide multiple mitigations undermines their whol basis for saying thaey take head contact seriously. The Maynard Brayshaw alone speaks to this.

Can't believe Hewett didn't get suspeneded for clipping Neale. The strike was deemed careless. Careless? You can throw jabs at people's chin and it is careless?

What a farce. How do they serioulsy wake up in the morning and look in the mirror.

This is careless https://x.com/Sammy__Edmund/status/1...386729178?s=20
