Willo's stitches worth 3 weeks

[Mike_B]

No surprise that Rawlings was booked on video evidence. If he pleads guilty, he will miss 3 weeks.

I think Goodes was a little lucky with his incident.

IMHO if it was Pickett he would go for a week, it was late and pretty obvious (not saying i agree with it, but game is so sanitised now). I guess his record and good nature counted.

Great to see him use that big body for a change against Rawlings also. The ONLY highlight of the game

Willo made such a scene leaving the ground that the video was always going to be reviewed. Especially since they televised the incident.

The article also says that Willo and Rawlings will be fined for wrestling - ah but Willo keeps his clean record in tact ;)

$900 each

Rawlings - 4 weeks with a discount of 1 week if he pleads guilty.

Swine deserves every bit of it.

No, the falling into a player prone on the ground, the act that resulted in the 50m penalty against Goodes.

There was nothing more than a 50m penalty in Goodesy's one. It was pretty silly, but nothing that remotely resembled something that should go up on review.

As for Willo's remonstrations with Rawlings when they left the field - there will usually be scrutiny of how a player has ended up with a huge cut over the eye, regardless of their reaction afterwards.

Does that mean we're without Willo and Magic next week?!

[Glenn]

MoL is a definite for Round 4, according to a Roos interview tonight, no word on Willow.

Why would we be without Williams next week? It doesn't take 7 days to recover from a bout of stitches.

[Glenn]

I guess if there was any concussion or anything like that the medical staff were worried about

Brady Rawlings has accepted a three week suspension for throwing a punch. Victims are not normally required to serve time alongside the perpetrators.

He may get a small fine for wrestling with Rawlings.

Definately one of the few highlights - I just wish I'd seen it.

Its good that there are at least some Sydney players prepared to use such legal aggression. We have to be able to dish out as good as we'll get from teams like Brisbane and the Port scum.

Last week I got a parking ticket. Unfortunately I think this means I have to stop driving.

Willo was reported for headbutting Rawlings' fist. Headbutting is a serious offence, so he was given 3 weeks too...
