Now the real problem is that Stewart from Geelong slammed a Brisbane players head into the turf and nothing. Thats a real inconsistency which needs explanation. Side by side videos of the two incidents are all over twitter.

Walsh makes up for it by reading the play better than just about any player I've seen, but Cripps is often 30m out of position when we fail to generate enough stoppages.
We need a few more fast moving mids to spread the load, preferably with heavy durable bodies.

Yep.
There's a very clear line between mongrel within the rules, and stupid mongrel. Fly the flag with vigour and passion by all means, but don't step over the line. Zac will need to be educated as to the difference.

And that’s the crux of the matter! I don’t mind Williams getting a week if Stewart does too. The Adelaide player who slammed Stocker’s head into the ground should have got a week and Flogarty should have got two weeks.
Then there’s Selwood’s disgraceful acts, Buddy’s hit, etc, etc.

I don’t have a problem with it at all. He probably deserves a week off but smashing into an unsuspecting bloke’s back after he’s marked is worse and could have caused serious injury. Weitering was certainly dazed and I was surprised that he didn’t have to go off.

Yes, we may recall in a very famous GF how the same treatment was dealt out which resulted in a player going to hospital with a punctured lung and nearly dying. It was a lot heavier hit back then but the similarities are not lost on me.

If the roles were reversed and Weiters did that to Fogarty and got suspended, you would have burned down AFL house.

Possibly ... but only before Plowman was suspended. If Plowman gets suspended for accidental contact to the head in a genuine contest for the ball, Flogarty's late, deliberate hit on an unsuspecting Weitering must result in a suspension - if the MRO was consistent.
Remember that no-one remonstrated with Plowman but our players weren't holding back after Flogarty's hit.
