AFL 2023 Semi Final Carlton vs Melbourne at the MCG

[ElwoodBlues1]

The only hope they have is to argue the impact down from high to medium and he gets a week instead of 2. If it were me, I would grade impact as follows with respect to the player that gets "hit":
- Player continues playing or receives minimal on field treatment/attention - Low
- Player goes off, receives treatment and needs to spend the mandatory 20 mins off then comes back on - Medium
- Player concussed, goes off and misses next week - High

Yep Agree with all that...I would suspend one week of Martin's penalty and would have given Van Rooyen 2 weeks as well with one week suspended as a deterrent to both. I know Brayshaw was knocked out/concussed etc and had to leave the ground but what Martin and Van Rooyen did in striking players was worse behaviour than what Maynard did imho even though the result of the collision with Brayshaw was more damaging to the injured player. ..I must be old school in how I view the game.
