Never mind. I just found an article on SEN :

Logue's looked worse...ran past the ball and chose to bump.

Yep, Blacres can easily plead 'accidental' (downgraded from careless). Plus he was heading into the contest to tackle or spoil, with eyes on that contest ahead. Logue, not so much.

On the Acres suspension I have this to say.
As each week goes by and we see more and more of these MRO decisions it looks to me like the MRO is gutless and doesn't want to make a call, so it's ruling in the most p1ssweak manner and leaving the tough decision to a 3rd party, whether that takes the form of a tribunal ruling or a challenge is dependant on the event.
If that is the case, then the MRO is a waste of time and money, give it the ar5e!

You know...it'll be interesting on Brownlow night if Newman's efforts are recognised.
I suspect they won't

I think you’re right Lods, although Newman got a fair bit of the ball and could have attracted the umpires’ attention.
A few defenders have won the Brownlow over the years, including our Gordon Collis and Johnny James, but you really have to be racking up possessions these days. I don’t think that detracts from the Brownlow’s significance but it’s good that we have the coaches’ award, and others, that recognise more nuanced aspects of the game.
Newman’s efforts were outstanding really. A down to earth, old fashioned defender with the belief to back himself in, attack the footy, support his teammates and shut down his opponent.
He is one of the best trade ins we’ve acquired … and Acres isn’t far behind. His game with a crook shoulder was admirable. How many players would have given that effort under such adversity?
I should mention Cerra too. He seemed to me to be an icing on the cake type of player but then he shows that he can play a role in defence to perfection.
SOS and Curly’s boy didn’t get every draft pick, free agent trade right but you can’t fault bringing Newman, Cerra, Saad, Acres and Young on board.

Ill be the first to admit that I have been critical of Newman at times. I cannot fault his first three games this year and he has been one of the pillars of our defence this year (which at times has been under siege). On Sat, he obliterated one of the comps match winners, hats off to you Newmy.
