Carlton’s Mark Austin has been charged with a level three striking offence against Fremantle’s Hayden Ballantyne and can accept a one-match ban with an early plea.

Maybe we give Harts a call up if this is the case. We need to see where this guy is at.

It's a good opportunity to have a look at Harts - if he's to be delisted, I'd feel a lot better about it if Adam at least had a chance to impress.

I dont know the exact incident assessed but I didn't see anything that would warrant a weeks suspension when watching the game. I'd challenge it.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I don't think there's a good match up for Harts against Richmond. He's as good as useless against mobile/fast leading forwards.

Banno may well get a recall. At least he can play a few different roles.

I too heard on Channel 10 that it was thrown out, good on Quarters you SPUD..

So how can Brennan's head butt get 3 weeks and reduced to one and the end result is assessed the same as Aussies

Off topic, but does Brendan Fevola get mentioned in each weeks Match Review Panel assessment?

What??? Brennan a week, your kidding. Early plea or not I cannot believe that result. It was a headbutt that drew blood

A very lucky boy.

He headbutted Josh Carr FFS, he should have got a medal for that. It's a pity he didn't knock the prick into the middle of next week

Ridiculous

The same penalty for a headbut??

ghey

If Brennan doesn't get the 3 votes for that match, just for the headbutt, then there's something very wrong.

The Age is now saying that Aussie got offered one week for striking Hayden Ballantyne.



If so, I'm liking him more and more!

He's suspended for the Ballantyne one .
The charge for the hit on Suban was thrown out .

Why is Austin being suspended for his hit on Ballantyne?

Surely the Fremantle Sheriff's department should be deputizing him,
and the Governor General should be presenting him with an Order of Australia medal

Flower Ballantyne

He's accepted the 1 week penalty so he'll miss this week. Disappointing.
