The long flight to and from Perth isn't ideal so unlikely O'Donavan will be making the trip.
So what are we thinking?
3 game ban for “violent conduct” or
Red card rescinded for Buijs being a pussy?
My money’s on 3 games and Buijs still being a pussy.
I hope for a match reduction at least...one game?
I reckon he will get the standard 1 game

yeah, i can see 1 game. there is so much grey in it, and bozza and archie gave a good defence of what roy did.
here's a brain-twister. what happens if the MRP (if that's what it is still called) overturns the red card and roy is free to play next round?
Would never happen.
Referee deems incident okay.
VAR intervenes with the “obvious error” and straight red card.
MRP intervenes to rectify an obvious error in overturning an obvious error.
Could happen.
They have no choice then to go 3+ matches and say it was violent conduct. Anything else and it's a contradiction of the red card in the first place and will only serve to make the VAR even more of a joke than it currently is and that's saying something.
Looking at the video, did his hand actually make contact? We paused the thing several times and it looks like Roy missed
You blokes still watching games in analog or something?
He deliberately punched him with a clenched fist.
Get yourselves a HD tv and check the footage.
It looks that way on the slow mo which is why he got sent.
Personally I reckon he was trying to get onto the other side of the defender and as he's bringing his arms across he's brushed across the blokes face.
No doubt Buijs will have a nice black eye he can show everyone to prove he was lucky not to get knocked out by the Irish thug?
