Campbell Brown - How many weeks should he get?

Re: Campbell Brown - How many weeks should he get?

He got 204 points for Ward and 225 points for Hall, then a 20% loading for prior reports.

Upshot, with a guilty plea, he gets 4 weeks.

More points for the hit on Hall? As far as I'm concerned, they were both hits to the head, one of which was intentional, completely out of play (I don't think 'behind play' adequately describes it, as Higgins was lining up for a shot at goal) and enough to knock a player down and force them from the ground.

Not sure how they figured that tbh.

What a disgraceful decision.

How Brown versus his first victim, Ward, can be assessed as a level 3 is simply going soft on crime. Reckless over intentional is farcical, it was reckless intent which is where these MRP nuffies too often get it wrong as with Brown circa 2010 on Daniel Jackson. Ward was picked off and was a level 4 striking offence if I've ever seen one. He also got off cheap with a level 2 hit on Hall although at least some argument could be mounted from the defense on the degree of cowardice in Brown's action.

I hereby pronounce Saturday 09 April sniper amnesty day from this day forward.

Only good thing to come out of it will be Josh Toy's return.

Re: Campbell Brown - How many weeks should he get?

Over his career Campbell Brown has been known as a tough player. Yesterday certainly wasn't his finest game with two nasty and cheap shots. What has amazed me is the media really hasn't gone as hard at him as I thought they would.

If it was Hall that had delivered the same contact the same media would be curtailing his career and recommending a 12 week holiday for him. I know Hall has done worse but I do believe Brown has gotten off lightly so far. I wonder if there is a code in the media to cut the GC players a bit of slack and not to hang them out to dry.

Anyway, how many weeks should Brown get? I'll go with 5.

This thread only needed 1 post. 12 for Barry, should have been 8 but got only 4. He got a discount for hitting Hall and being a GC player.
He was lucky it was Hall he hit cause most others would have been out cold.

Browns elbow on Ward not deemed INTENTIONAL but RECKLESS?

Tweets from Media;

Mark Stevens: If Brown was reckless on Ward, then what's intentional?
Mark Robinson: Reckless and not intentional!!!???? What is intentional? Using an axe....

Good points. How is what he did not Intentional? Was he intending on stretching his elbow and Ward got in the way?

Re: Campbell Brown - How many weeks should he get?

I used to think off the ball incidents were treated more harshly than those in play.

I stand corrected.

I hope our players let him know next time he plays that he is owed one........

Not sure why Intentional & Reckless are judged separate...Brown's actions were clearly both to me

This is a bloody disgrace, I can't believe that sniper gets to play in a month.

At least the players were flying the flag by remonstrating, unlikely previous few years poor efforts. Great to see for the second week in a row, GIA right in there with Gabletts jumper twisted inside his fist and telling the umpire why they are angry.

Meh, I hope they do what Barry did and ignore the twit. Tear his team into pieces on the scoreboard and sing the gold coast club song into his ugly face. The worst punishment I can think of!

Yes this was good to see as this has been a criticism of this bunch, that said, probably made a lot easier against a bunch of kiddlywinks.

Re: Campbell Brown - How many weeks should he get?

I will put my cash on 4 weeks, the AFL will encourage leniency for the coasters.

Cash please. I thought it would be three for the Ward hit and 1 for Halls though.

Well Brown was walking backwards and hiding behind the kiddlywinks.

Says more about Brown as he no longer had unsuspecting targets to take out.

Gotta love Robbo's line - ......"intentional is using an axe?". 4 weeks is a disgrace but typical!
