The [May] incident was graded as careless conduct, with medium impact to the head. It means May will miss Gold Coast's game against Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday if he accepts the ban.
What a crock!
Charlie's hit on May was like hitting a tank with a feather. Charlie seemed to be trying to avoid the contact at the last minute and he showed concern for May - who milked the incident to ensure the down field free.
On the other hand, May's hit on Ed was premeditated and intended to hurt.
We should appeal this one and show footage of the May hit to demonstrate the inappropriateness of Charlie's penalty; if May gets a week, Charlie should get a fine at worst.
