Number of weeks

[D54]

8 weeks. Ive got 'bloods' running through my veins (:P) yet if he gets less than 8 i will be disappointed.

8 Weeks. Sorry Barry, your luck has just run out in a big way.

5 or 6 weeks.

1/4 of the season sounds reasonable.

How many did the Collingwood guy get a few years ago who clocked Paul Williams (can't remember who it was but he got only 1 or 2 weeks).

Brodie Holland the bastard.

Holland got 5 weeks..

[dendol]

he will be an overwhelming favourite in his first professional bout.

Agreed. Was only a jab really but it still knocked Staker out.

There were two incidents regarding WIlo and Holland but according to the Pies website he only got 2 weeks. If II remember correctly, it was for the hit to the stomach and he took the early plea and challenged it, something like that to get it reduced to the two weeks.

However, the rush to the finals wasn?t all plain sailing. Holland was suspended for two weeks in round 21 for a behind the play incident involving Magpie-turned-Swan, Paul Williams. Holland was fortunate to be ousted for only two weeks, and was immediately reinstated for the Preliminary Final against Port Adelaide.

I'll say twelve weeks

Holland should have received more than 2 weeks for that punch, but according to Channel 10, that wasn't as bad as Barry Hall's incident.

Never is!

I loved the reaction at the game when it was showed on replay.

You could hear a pin drop during the replay - then there was the audible groan of 44,000-odd people looking down the barrel of an eight week suspension.

The broken wrist will take at least 8-12 weeks (depending on where it's broken, how it's broken, and whether or not he needs metal.)

From what they were saying when he was walking down the tunnel, they heard the words broken and forward not back, which indicates that if it is indeed a forward break (and I'm no doctor) that it tends to take longer to heal. You could instantly tell how lame it went after he went into the fence. As soon as he went to move it it just dangled.

My broken wrist last year was a forward break - three months on the bench for Blind Barry.

Ahh, correct - there was a dispute regarding the evidence given in that one. They apparently dragged Willos name through the mud after his evidence was given via video link....

He was given 5 weeks on his next trip to the tribunal for a high charge which was too much for what he did (but it was deemed ok in the media as the time off was "owed" to him for the hit on Willo)

[Mike_B]

5 weeks.

I work it out as 425 points, which is 4 weeks, but I wonder if they'll add 1 week.

I feel sorry for Hall, I believe that has has worked really hard at controlling his anger, but I think they'll throw everything they can at him - how much flexibility do they have if the formula says 4 ?

I don't think they can arbitrarily add things on just because they want to. If the charge is assessed on the scale, I believe they have to go with that.
