I’ve lost track of the process, does the North player still get to give his evidence? If he says something along the lines of “I was mainly just shocked, the blow didn’t hurt me at all and after a minute or 2 I was fine and continued playing” would that have an effect on the tribunal’s decision?

I thought it has been graded Intentional , High , Severe Impact. 5 weeks is the starting point.

The VFL will ask for 6 and we will apologize and hope it comes back to 5
 
Love the Sonz but 3 weeks is absolutely criminal. Got away with murder there and can thank his lucky stars it wasn’t 5 or 6+. Hopefully a big pre season for the young man and we see him in the AFL first month of 2024

Lucky boy.
Then again after watching Tom McCartin have his 2 week ban reduced to no charge whilst Mansell gets 4 weeks, I’m not sure what to think anymore

Geez, only a touch hysterical n over exuberant. Sonz didn't take to the bloke with a baseball bat FFS. Stupid n unprovoked act in hitting the bloke, but he didn't split him open, or concuss him. The bloke lay down for a moment stunned by the fact he'd been smacked, then got up and played out the game.
Severe impact was a massive call and so was five weeks or more. High impact and three was fair and reasonable, Sonz misses the knockout round and possible finals this year, or a couple of early games next year. That's a pretty large punishment for 3 seconds of stupid.

What was his verdict on McCartin?
Or does just have room for one outrage per week?
Anything Richmond for this wanker. Still whinges about Bolton's little hit earlier in the year or was it last season....can't remember.
