Did Stewart slow down in his attempt to 'body check' Dion? No. He launched at him. His intention was to run through him. Job done.

Welcome to the Tigers Nathan Broad

Yes, illegal, violent execution of a potentially legal act if done within the rules. Same as Broad.
There are those in the media asking for 6 weeks. What stinks about the whole thing is the way the AFL goes about it. Last week both Kosi and the Adelaide player charged opponents, because the Adelaide player’s opponent wound up being concussed, he got sent to the tribunal and got 3 weeks. Pickett’s opponent didn’t leave the ground and he got 2 for an incident that deserved 4 minimum. This week Broad’s opponent gets concussed and they’re throwing 6 weeks around. In the Collingwood Port game there was an almost identical incident, but no concussion so the player involved gets a shorter sentence if any at all. It shouldn’t be the injury that results, but the potential to cause an injury. Boils my *smile*!
I'm up from 3 to 4 now based on these two both getting 4, especially the Lycett one.

And also plays for Richmond.
Its all BS.
AFL had an opportunity to make a stand last week but noooo Broady is gonna cop it as the scrificial lamb on the AFLs alter of BS.
No case to answer........FMD. Guy was knocked out and taken out of a Grand Final. What about the consequence being taken into account and double penalty for Grand Finals?
If Broad gets 4wks Dangerfield should have got 8.
Hypocrites like Wankley *smile* me when they pick and choose when to take the high moral ground.

Anyone expecting any resemblance to consistency from the AFL will be very disappointed.
Marlion Pickett bumped a Hawthorn player last year who jumped up and kept playing, yet Marlion got suspended.
Tom Stewart lined up and knocked out Prestia, no free but they had to penalise him - 4 weeks.
Dangerfield knocks out Vlastuin, not even cited even though the rules are crystal clear that it should have been sent to the tribunal.
Pickett from Melbourne jumps into a player's head, 2 weeks.
Broad, sling tackle. Yep, silly, but happens a number of times in every game. Will he get the same as Stewart who ran past the ball and elbowed Prestia in the face? Maybe, but he should get 3 and Melbourne Pickett's penalty was clearly inadequate.
F**cken joke the AFL.

Not as good a bloke as Bachar whose suspension the AFL determined for the first time in history was manifestly inadequate.
The sooner Gilligan departs, and Benny takes over the better.
They had a chance to make a stand in the 2020 GF, but because it was darling Dangerfield, no sanction applied
We better request the tribunal sit ASAP. If we wait until tomorrow night it will have reached 13.
