Not even same ball park as DeGoey but you’re probably right.
Edit - just read the report - careless, severe and high. 3+ weeks. How the *smile* was that careless?
Baker also $3k for his elbow. Only good news (as I expected) Graham no case to answer.

Meanwhile Bontempelli nothing to see… How is it straight to the tribunal? Both running towards the ball in a straight line. What was he supposed to do? Have a head on collision???
If only he were. Any accountable organisation would have sacked that incompetent fool a long time ago.
Official report said Aish had taken possession of the ball. Didn't look like that to me.
First Broad and now this… Has any other club been subjected to this level of overreach with the MRO or at the tribunal?
Mooney and Brereton spot on - the rules are making players feel as thought they have no duty of care to protect themselves as the perception is the AFL is trying to stamp out contact and therefore don’t brace yourself for any. Identical to Dangerfield scenario so should get off.
There is a half second between ball bounding towards Aish rather than Mansell and the collision. He hasn’t ran past the ball and all he can do is brace for impact. Tribunal have to throw that out.
the rot started with Lynch being sent straight to the tribunal for pushing hurley in the chest up in Darwin.
Obviously the Freo players had no issue with it because no one remonstrated.
This is how ridiculous the AFL have made of this. Both players were going for the ball. Both players only looked to see an opponent at the last split second. Both braced themselves to protect themselves. One player got hurt. Now, imagine if the opposite happened and the player that went down was mansell. Aish would be up fronting the tribunal. It’s a no win situation for players. The AFL is out to get anyone that causes injury regardless of whether it’s accidental or not. Total *smile*
Bottompelli gets off & Mansell gets cited. What I'm seeing here is definitely 2 different sets of criteria. The "name" player gets let off & The "no name" player is made "An example of".
The AFL is very strict on these incidents, WHEN IF F'N SUITS THEM
What a rotten bunch of corrupt scumbags they are.

What gets me is, he is going for the ball, eyes on it until he can contact coming. What are his other options AFL, tell me what?? Just disappear like Jeannie??? How can you be rubbed out for going hard at the ball when the other bloke is doing exactly the same. Pot luck who was going to come off second best here. The game is stuffed with these gooses in charge.

Called it during the game, commentators were trying there hardest to talk Bonts one down.
Surely Nigel Mansell gets off at the tribunal.
