    The ump didn't even pay a free for that. If he gets weeks for that then the game is gone to the dogs. The Burgoyne suspension was a joke aswell. Yeh the bump was high, the man had his head over the ball but what was Burton supposed to do, let the Essendon player get a clean possession?

    Hey Ben, Thanks for the thoughts. I think you will find the ball comes back and a free kick was paid. This is the new rule, you can't bump a guy in the head unless there was something out of the ordinary that caused the head high contact. You asked what he was supposed to do? He was either meant to try to get the ball (and not bump) or be more careful with how he came into bump.

    I'm with you Molly. His head was down over the ball and Burton took a cheap shot. Have a look at the whole season and other players who have been scrubbed for it. 3 weeks ago McPhee from Essendon got 1 week for high contact when he tried to pull out of the tackle. Burton should get 3 for this but i have my suspicions with the AFL and doubt he will even have to see the tribuneral.

    Hey Warrick,
    Thanks for the support. He isn't getting off. At worst (or best depending on your perspective) he will get a week.
