Now Swans players are getting injured and suspended at the same time. Did we do something to anger the footy gods?

3 with the early plea.

Didn't look like any force in the swing to me, but there you go. Guess you can't be waving fists near faces.

Deservedly so. I agree with previous posters; we would have been ropeable if someone took out one of our midfield guns in such a manner.

Disagree. The is loose and bouncing around. McGlynn is going after ball, but Scully dives in front to grab the ball and accidentally runs into McGlynns arm. An intentional act takes minimum around 400 milliseconds. This seems like a fraction of that time.

Ludwig you are now being ludicrous. Benny went in with intent, let's face it the little man plays it hard he knows no other way. A bit tough getting 3 matches with what I saw as a 1-2 matcher and having no current priors. Stevie J did something far worse with intent ad got 1 week, what he did was a dog act kneeing a player in the head. If you look at the vision of that one Stevie stops before he knees his opponent in the head, bloody coward. Some things a player should never do, grab the goolies, kick a player or knee a player in the head.

Yes it is one rule for the Melbourne clubs and one rule for the interstaters. Pav got 3 for an accidental hit.

McKernan's was assessed incorrectly in my opinion but that's another story.

My initial reaction was that the grading seemed harsh compared to the McKernan one. But I agree that if we just accept the McKernan one was wrong, it is better not to use that as the basis against which to grade others.

He's been playing a little angry for a while now, and was a little lucky not to have his slam tackle last week looked at a bit closer. I hope Jack also pulls back his aggression a little. He too has had incidents over the past two weeks where, while he didn't make contact that would draw a suspension, he was a little fortunate that he didn't make worse contact.

3 weeks!

McGlynn accepts three-match ban - SYDNEYSWANS.com.au

Yeah not a 4 week holiday. Scully was concussed because he landed on his face, not because of the force of McGlynn's arm.

Well, you don't know that, and even if so, perhaps McGlynn's whack contributed to the face in the ground.
3 weeks is right.

3 weeks is a good outcome. Get you hammy right McGlynn, you dont want to miss another grand final.

Hopefully Morton is available as a like for like replacement.

So now the question is...

What was the ice pack for on the leg after half time? And will 3 1/2 weeks be enough to cool him off...? (OK technically 2 questions..)

Jumped the gun - 3 weeks it is.

Probably angry because he misses so many easy goals.

There is a potential huge silver lining here. If Benny had not been suspended, the nature of his present injury means that he would most likely have come back in two weeks or so, being the Richmond game. That may have proven to be too early, whereupon he may have re injured his hammy. However an extra two weeks related to his suspension, until 10th August v Collingwood, means that there is less chance of a recurrence of further injury.

For the first time I now hope that Sam doesn't fill out into those shoulders of his!
