De Goo will be at the centre of discussion before the tribunal. Nank certainly doesn't deserve 4.
Really? Late, reckless, direct hit on the jaw with the point of the shoulder. I reckon he could easily get 4. And I reckon he'd deserve them if he did. That was a stupid and a gutless hit. He's been really good since his return, and was pretty close to his best in that game. We need him, but your captain shouldn't be dishing out cheap shots.

So the rules are, hit a player on the head, if he goes off with concussion, it's automatically tribunal, but if no concussion it's MRO.

Bummer's Phillips hit on O'Brien looks exactly the same motion as Nank and copped 1 week from MRO. Why can't these just stay with MRO???

Who are you to call Nank’s behaviour stupid and gutless?
Go and support your team somewhere else.

KR. Look at the DeGoey incident. It is considerably more brutal. I don’t support over the top aggression but equally nor should you seek to publicly belittle our Captain.

Rubbish. ‘Your Captain’ suggests you are not Richmond, but maybe a dog supporter.

The “pile on” towards our Captain here has been very disappointing.
Gutless and cheap shot seems to be the common theme towards him rather than late and clumsy.
Wonder what Tony Shaw would think of these supporters?
If Nanks had got him slightly lower, like Buddy did on Balta, it would simply have been a free downfield.
I wonder whether Swan supporters are calling Buddy gutless and a cheap shot atm?

Nank looks like he’ll get 3+ weeks as demanded by media
So how the *smile* did Bummers Phillips get only 1 week for his shoulder to the head of Crows O’Brien?

Just posted that myself. They look similar. If one goes off with concussion and other didn't, why can't MRO handle both cases instead of waiting for tribunal?

Was O’Brien concussed? If not it’s a simple explanation (although i disagree with it).

Happened in last 80 seconds O’Brien got up holding his jaw and took his kick Late concussion ? Who knows

Crows would have had to have submitted a medical report and still assessed him for concussion because implications for him playing the following week.

Nank tried to bump a guy who had just disposed of the ball, he tried to hurt him, but he did try to go low. But he got him in the head and concussed him. It is comparable to De Goey's bump, except Nank didnt leave the ground.

Agree entirely - 3 weeks, Brodders.

IF Nankl gets more than DeGoey who's feet left the ground looking very much like the bump intended to target the head, then it will further prove the 'take' is on.
Beautifully put, Frick.

Nank gets 3. By any precedent.

Drink and drive at 0.2 for 50km and get caught - lose your license / fine / jail up to 9 months
Drink and drive at 0.2 for 50km and kill someone ... go to jail up to 10 years

Same/similar behavior, different outcomes, different consequences.

Going after the behavior should yield more consistent impact to society IMO - but for the victims of the consequence there is often a need to see the perpetrator punished...

This is like Broad, Houkl and even Lynch. What is it with Richmond players copping media pile ons when even DeGoey was getting the good bloke treatment in the media.

Also, how many HTA actually lead to a clean, intentional clearance in which the ball neatly ends up in the arms of a forward up the field?

It almost never happens. Hitouts are merely random events in my mind. If you can't cleanly control the ball from the umpire's bounce to the goal starting with a hitout, then hitouts are pointless.
On the flipside losing hitouts uncontested is a fast way to lose games.
The momentum, field position and pressure when an oppo ruck carves it up.
