Agee! Pickett shouldve copped heaps more then the prick from Geelong that took out Prestia.
Spot on. Absolute media witch hunt. It is incredible when you compared to how the media treated Stewart after he knocked out Dion off the ball. That was all about "poor Tom whatr a great bloke we feel so sorry for him". There was certainly more sympathy for Sniper Stewart than there was for Dion. Chief cheerleader was their absolute see you next Tuesday of a bloke coach.
By comparison Broad was treated like a serial killer. *smile* joke. Sniper's cowardly act deserved twice of what Broad got. Broad should have got 3; Sniper 6. No doubt Geelong will be sniggering about the outcome again.
Well said. The media narrative drives a lot of the outcomes.
Dangerfield knocking Vlastuin into next week with a cocked elbow in a Grand Final & not even being cited, is the worst.
Yep. Unbelievable how he didn't even get cited. But then again he plays for Geelong and SHocking was in charge of MRO at the time.
He deserved it, but he didn't. You make mistakes and move on.
Broady has never been suspended and always checks on other players welfare on the field.
As witnessed by Matty Nicks reaction, Broady is one of the good guys.

There's two recent examples of similar tackles getting 4 weeks, Lycett and Neal-Bullen.
And a hundred sling tackles that don’t even get cited so let’s just judge this one on it’s merits.
The penalty for severe impact is 3 weeks, so why the 4?
Then he deserves the minimum for pleading guilty, having no record with the tribunal and is recognised as a fair player with no malicious intent.
They’re sending a message rather than penalising the player.
I get it but I don’t like it. Especially because they’re inconsistent with their messaging.
I reckon you are punching at shadows here. The MRP does a lot of inconsistent stuff but this isn't one of them.
Exactly the same penalty as previous identical incidents, 4 weeks was the standard for a sling tackle that knocks out the opponent.
Lycett didn’t even tackle the player. Just grabbed him and body slammed him with a slinging motion. Same with Bullen in the fact theee was no actual tackle although I’d argue was with no malicious intent and tribunal got it wrong.
Was DeGoey’s sling on Dangerflop worth 1 week because there was no concussion?
Where's the deterrent there?

Sling tackles should be, and will be, punished far greater than in previous years. DeGoey's sling was obviously not of severe impact -- if it was judged to be medium impact (and careless, high) than the penalty is one match according to the 2022 AFL sanctions (resources.afl.com.au/afl/document/2022/03/15/111be938-8f58-4118-9753-8e9ced332989/2022-AFL-Tribunal-Guidelines.pdf)
Yet DeGoey's slinging action was more vicious than Broad's. The only thing stopping injury was luck in DeGoey's case. Just goes to show how much luck plays a factor in these tackles.
Not sure how you determine DeGoey's as more vicious. Dangerfield was able to buffer the impact with his arms, whereas Broad smacked Parnell's head into the turf
Were they sent straight to the tribunal? Christian not wanting to make a decision. AFL are pathetic.
