2 weeks. Serious enough to be a statement, but not too harsh

You might be right but I think it's a week underdone. The week the competition brings in an injury sub particularly because of concussion, a player is knocked out and will very likely miss a couple of weeks himself. The first suspension sets the benchmark for the balance of the season.

I bet the AFL were spewing that the first opportunity they had to make an example wasn’t with a peasant but none other than the king himself.

Agreed I reckon it will be 3.

Yep, agree. The broken nose is a bit of icing on the optics cake too.

Good call. Three weeks it is and rightly so. Need to start focusing on changing player behaviour. This certainly sets the precedent for the season. Would he have received the same penalty if his opponent had not of been knocked out and suffered an injury? Understand that this does increase the penalty, however the intent was there (even if the end result was unintentional) - if his opponent had of got up and walked away would he have even received a suspension?
