I am absolutely stunned

What do you think the chances are that the penalty was increased based on the umpire's testimony?

Flower me, you must be flowering joking.

Flower! We need to come up with a new word because FLOWER just isn't cutting it.

This decision is disgraceful, but no real surprise given the general turn the umpiring took following the incident. Typical knee-jerk AFL reactionary nonsense.

What a ridiculous call, it was obviously an accident.
They are just out to get a scapegoat.

I thought at the time it looked pretty bad. On a different angle I decided it wasn't as bad as I'd first thought, but it still looked like Browne's force was intentional. Added to that it wasn't part of the play and was a long way off the ball, so I knew it would be considered quite poorly by the match review panel. Head high contact in the play is hit hard as it is. Head high contact way off the ball is always going to cop a lot worse.

I was expecting 2 weeks, reduced to 1, mainly because he is a first year player.

Buggered if I can tell why the Crows wanted to beat up Walker over the incident though.

That Browne is a thug.

What, like the MRP are a bouquet of flowers!

If anyone's running a book I'll put $1,000 on him getting off. They had to bring him up just for the fact that the bloke's got a bruised brain. He'll get off and the MRP know it.

I didn't think SA people had brains to bruise


But really looked like a nothing sort of accident can't really see why he is up


but look on the bright side






This assures we get to see Russell for another couple of weeks

nice to see you still playing the devils advocate verbs

It was probably about 2-3 metres off the ball, so that constitutes within play.

The goal was clearly playing with a bad shoulder, so any injury sustained should fall on the Crows head and not Browne.

It was much further off the ball than that and wasn't even close to being part of play.

Head high contact has been continually penalised this season and this is no surprise, especially given it was behind the play.
