I'm surprised he got suspended at all. But yes it is very light for that.
But Buddy is the AFL's protected species love child.
Yep, Houli got charged with intentional.
They rarely use it. It's got nothing to do with the incident itself and everything to do with the penalty they want to apply.
Considering what Shuey got away with last week, i reckon Buddy is a bit unlucky. But considering what Buddy has gotten away with in his career he cant complain.
*smile* him.
He has pushed the envelope all his career.
Don't worry about the elbows watch his knees
The AFL need to issue a formal written apology to Bachar Houli.
Staggering. Yet so typical of what the AFL became. A corrupt podunk organisation administered by numpties that seriously lack skill, ability, and courage to do the job at hand. The AFL needs to be wrested from the hands of the corporate gluttons and given to someone that cares.
It is rotten at every orifice.

FFS, he can't break the tackle so he goes for the elbow to the face. Should get 4 weeks if the Houli case is an example, possibly more given Houli's was a first offence and this isn't.
Do the AFL seriously wonder why people question their impartiality when such huge disparities in penalties are applied?
I reckon he should probably get 3 weeks, maybe 2, for that. But if Houli's was 4 weeks then this should be 4 weeks. They set the precedent, they should have to live with the consequences.

Houli paid for the incompetency of Christian.
If Christian gave Houli 3 weeks instead of 2, then the footy public would have accepted it. But instead the secretary fiddler declared it manifestly inadequate (the first time in history that the AFL has appealed a tribunal verdict I believe) and gave Houli the extra 2 weeks.
They set a precedent when they let Frisch off for an elbow to the head. Or Ablett for elbows to the head 2 weeks in a row (they were forced to suspend the little recidivist after the 3rd time).
Yeah I know, so many precedents, so little consistency.
I think the Gary Ablett Jr ones were when they pulled out they cheat sheet so they knew what to do:
They have trouble following their own precedents when 2 incidents happen 5 minutes apart.
