I don’t agree with six weeks, but not comparable.Originally Posted by crackedactor 01
Brown was going for the ball and then braced at the last half second or so when he saw McCartin was going to get it first.
Parker was not close to the ball when he chose to bump.
With regards to your last sentence, yes when Parker made contact, the ball wasn't close by. However, when I watched the footage last night on one of the footy shows, (Talking Footy or Footy Classified), when Parker goes to block, the ball is on the ground nearby and is kicked away by a Swans player.
I think 4 weeks is a more appropriate penalty.
Team for the match against the Northern Bullants, which takes place at Tramway Oval at the mystifying time of 12.05pm. Should be a win, but we have fielded stronger VFL sides.
Essentially, McAndrew returns from his concussion and obviously Parker is out. Plus there's a bit of shuffling of the VFL listed players.

HB: P. Snell (41), J. Hamling (29), C. Vickery (25)

We handed the Bullants one of their only two wins last year (their other victory was against the winless Coburg), so I wouldn't be expecting a win just yet.I know Roberts hasn't been named, but I wonder if they could sneak him in after a quick flight up this morning since he only played about 10 minutes last night.
Sounds like he was running laps after the game finished last night, which suggests they weren't intending to put him on a plane back to Sydney.
I had some spare time to watch the live stream today. A pretty good win in the end. Stand-outs seemed to be Cleary, Shipley, Edwards. 3 goals each to Hamling and Moi Moi, a couple to Konstanty. Good contributions from Magor, Mitchell, Vickery and Bartholomaeus too.
One major downside, Sheldrick went down in the first 5 minutes with what looked like a left ankle injury and seemed to be in agony for a couple of minutes before being helped off.
