Dumb. So dumb.

But it’s part of his game, it’s cheap shots.

Not Richmond man stuff at all. Disappointing.

Is their footage showing he actually got him high?

That is the only argument, that it was a strike to the body not to the head.

I think Nick motioned to the umpire it was Wests shoulder he hit.

Hit his shoulder/chest. Dumb action but equally dumb report and suspension. Won’t matter anyway. Richmond player - won’t be overturned.

Still vague? It clearly shows Tigga hitting him with an elbow. How you can say it was staged, firstly by Vlastuin and then by the WC player, is beyond me.

Dramatising a bit. It was a forearm to the upper chest, "may" have got him in the neck.

I think the comments around staging are around how he fell. Cotch was punched in the face a few weeks ago and was still standing, this guy got a forearm to the upper chest and went down like he'd been snipered from the crowd.

Exactly right posh.

Needs to pull his head in, has had a couple ordinary games now and seems to be giving away some dumb free kicks.

Now a suspension that may cost us.

This type of incident is the very reason why he wasn't in the frame of being a captain. Can't seem to get it out of his game.

He had a *smile* game and then compounded that by elbowing someone at the end of the game. Not going to be a member of MENSA anytime soon

Surely such stupidity should place him in the possibility of being dropped from the leadership group!

I think we are the only ones that actually believe we can win it this year.
The players seem not to give a *smile*.
I just saw the incident, In all seriousness, that's easy 2 weeks, Nat Dias elbow to the throat. No wonder they excepted the week

If someone did a montage of nick vlaustin brain fades for 50m and free kicks it would run a while.

This GC match, which was already a tight contest IMO, just got harder. No Dusty and Cotchin leaves our midfield ranks even thinner, and no Vlastuin hurts our backline structure. No Balta doesn't help either.

Hopefully we get Dion back for the midfield but after a knock like he took he may not be 100% even if he does play. Not real confident about this game at all; a win by any margin will do in this one; especially without 4 very important players and obvious doubts on a 5th. GC are playing reasonable footy and will be hungry after two very narrow losses in a row. They still have their sights on finals.

Get the job done Tigers.

It’s all good we’ve got the ever reliable duo of George and Edwards playing
