Blues star called out for making the “biggest mistake” when it was verified that the Tribunal trip was made.
Jacob Weitering a forward for Carlton, has drawn criticism for his strike, which resulted in a two-match suspension during the most important period of the season for his team.
After hitting Sydney’s Nick Blakey during Friday night’s play, Jacob Weitering was given a two-match suspension; the action was classified as careless conduct with high impact and high contact.
The Blues have declared that they would appeal Jacob Weitering suspension to the AFL Tribunal in an attempt to have the charge dropped or have the penalty reduced to just one game.
Jacob Weitering will currently miss the next two games, and concussion protocol will prevent teammate forward Harry McKay from playing in Friday’s encounter against Melbourne.
Leigh Montagna stated on Fox Footy’s The First Crack that McKay and Jacob Weitering absences would be “significant,” given that Martin’s production has grown throughout the second half of the season.
David King, another host, was perplexed by Jacob Weitering conduct.
The biggest mistake aJacob Weitering could make is this one. Let’s be honest, throughout the past four years, he has played 15, 11, 11, and 12 games. He only does this when he feels well and is performing well on the football field. It’s the most stupid choice ever,” he remarked.
“I am aware that Michael Voss has publicly backed him, but in private, he must be furious. Jack Martin, you lose Harry, who was a vital component of this forward 50. He is unique in some way. He performs every task that a second or third key forward is required to complete.
At this point, it’s unacceptable—they just kill you. It is simply not acceptable to have healthy players in the grandstand for important games in September.
Van Rooyen is comparable. He’s really got himself fired up. What does Melbourne lack? He will be seated in the stands for the next fifty options. It’s simply absurd.
Following his bump of Collingwood’s Dan McStay on Thursday night, Van Rooyen received a one-match ban.
