Let's face it - Brisbane weren't going any further than last night, so a year's worth of "pent-up" by Charman was almost predictable. If the MRC are to be believed or have any credibility he'll get his week's holiday.

Good men do good deeds. Evil men do evil deeds. But it takes religion for a good man to do evil deeds.
Both Merrett and who ever Jude brushed past , should get a week for pathetic overacting. This prepensity for diving needs to be weeded out, it's a bore. I'd hate to see a big game decided by a dive, 'ala soccer style'.

After watching the Fifth Quarter replays, I'm more concerned about Monty's bump and I don't think the MRP or Tribunal will be lenient following the 4-week suspension farce.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!
Buchanan is gone, and should be, committed the dopiest sin running backwards instead of even attempting to turn his body looked straight at the player and caught him late, very very stupid and for mine we can get rid of him now under the no dickheads policy.

I couldn't work out where Buchanan's contact came from that had him lying flat out like he'd been hit by Ali. Was he faking?
Jude is in trouble. It looked quite bad IMO, very late.
Buchanan was definitly playing up the head knock, probably thought that if he pretended he was hurt, he'd get off.

I don't care if they "look at" these incidents (I'm sick of hearing that cliche. Especially in Victoria where every premier we get nowadays can only do this).
If any one of our players are goneski for any of these events, the game is truly petticoat. Though the Wakelin thing proved that.
The game is at its softest and Geelong (the handbaggers) are the dominant side. Coincidence?
My thoughts:
1. Baz - nothing in it but he shouldn't be pushing that boundary.
2. B1 - got off the ground (as Voss said) but did he make contact with the head? If not, perhaps a reprimand.
3. Buchanan - I thought a genuine contest, although he did seem to recover rapidly from incipient concussion! May cop a week or two, which would be a bad loss. We need him there.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Buchanan won't have a case to answer. Softest report of the year IMO.
Was the Buchanan incident that you're talking about the contest near the 50 at the Randwick end where both he and the Lions player were on the ground afterwards? If so, what is the report for? To me it looked like a genuine contest. Buchy got the guy high because his arm was up looking to punch the ball...at least that's what it looked like to me.
I think Bolton's was far worse, because it was late, high, and he was off the ground.
