I trust the incompetent umpire who caused the incident got his DESERVED 20 weeks DISQUALIFICATION.

That's about as likely to happen as Swans paying their Tax bill

they actually have that in hand and due to the hard work of the treasurer were going to get the remaining amount written off by the ATO.

I saw the incident from a distance but it did look like excessive force to me so I think the penalty is justified in this case. Hopefully Ricky will learn from this incident and direct his vigour towards the ball which is what he normally does.

1 week for each 360.....sounds fair.....well mathematically simple at least.....as you say mikeh hopefully the young fella will understand every action has a reaction.....perahps young colt Dylan Smith can step up and kick a few v WP....every cloud has a silver lining they say!

So you reckon Swans should appeal it then? As I said I was watching it from a long way away but it looked to me like a deliberate sling and the EF guy was concussed. The tribunal these days is hot on anything to do with the head.

It was right in front of me and myself and everyone else around me were absolutely flabbergasted he got booked, and so what he got concussed! It is a contact sport and it happens, the game is going backwards fast if they are going to report blokes for strong tackles and as Swan42 has eluded to the umpires have something to answer for as well for not rewarding his tackle and others earlier in the tackle, otherwise what is a bloke supposed to do just stop dead, drop the bloke and say sorry the whistle hasn't gone off you go now hurry along

OK fair enough you got a better view than I did but I would repeat my question, do you think that Swans should appeal this judgement on the basis that Cary had no other option to do what he did or could he have tackled the EF player in a different way and still stopped him?
