Poor old Jack Lonie on the end of a few there!

I thought the previous bad records didn't come into it this year?

Just no carry over points maybe?

I thought that was the case as well LF.

But he is probably lucky he only got 2 weeks.

Smedts lucky only to get a week and how did Trengove get off?

I think Adams is lucky - it was a sling tackle and could still have caused damage even if Varcoes knee wasn't there

Adams is turning into a bit of a thug and needs to take that out of his game.

Ok just found the link for it

Under the new system, Roughead would have only been fined for the tripping offence.

He would also still be free to commit two more low-level offences for the season before copping a one-match ban.

However, Roughead will have to toe a fine line next season because his two suspensions from last year will still count towards his bad record under the new system.

Not sure how SJ didn't get more then

Anyway the Full statement says he got 3 weeks down to 2 weeks with early guilty plea

Yep - Smith had clearly gotten rid of the ball before Adams initiated the sling. Trengove got 3 weeks for less
