I would have thought that he would get 5 so that he couldn't play again this season.
But this is twice now that the retaliator has been outed by the Tribunal. Lake was eye gouged by Petrie and got off. Cox struck Vickery with an elbow and got off.
Imagine the out cry if it was Ballantyne that handed out the elbow.
But some are more equal than others.
The MRP and the tribunal are jokes. There must be a full review ot the system before next season.

Rubbish. Petrie did not initiate anything, Lake slung him on the ground with the tackle, had his forearm pinned on Petries throat after he refused to get off him, before Petrie insyigated any retaliation. In the situation could not care less what he did back, and pretty sure in the position he was in the face was the only place he could retaliate, and I don't think any eye gouge was originally intentional.

As for Vickery, do not condone what he did, but if me and Cox elbows me in the lower throat, I'm squareing up one way or another. Message for Cox if you play with fire, then you will get burnt sometime

I saw Lake throw Petrie to the ground and before the arm went to the throat Petrie's hand was all over Lake's face.
I didn't see Coxy elbow Ty in the throat, looked like the tit to me.

Best you source Youtube and look at Lake/Petrie again. no way Petrie reacts until Lake goes on with it. Watching it again confirms Lake = Lunatic

Cox yep just under throat, but if he's doing that to me, he's getting one back, maybe not the extreme of Vickery though

No need to compare Ballantyne, he made his bed as being a dirty mouthy prick.
Just because this year he has obviously matured and pulled his head in to become a much improved player doesn't clean the slate.

lower throat - wat part of the lower throat was it. looked like the guts to all and sundry. that shit happens a lot. yep - lets just round arm king hit to the lower face because of it. lucky he gets to stick his head up for the last game.

According to Judge and others on the ABC Cox's contact with him was in and I quote 'in the groin'.

Not wishing to align myself with a/man but it will be interesting to see how the 'Fox News fair and balanced' MRP view the elbows to Ballantyne's head and Crowley's chest from last night's game.

Let me guess the answer: nothing to see here or insufficient force.

Come on, Gibbs fell over.... it was ridiculous, perhaps just some points.

Sounds to me that Judgey and others need a crash course on the male anatomy,your dick and balls are not located up around the chest region.
You get whacked in the groin you dont tend to recover quickly!

Judgey's are a bit higher.
