What happens if you have a terrible record, you have (virtually) a match suspended sentence and you do this:

You get 5 weeks suspension. Well that’s assuming you take plead guilty to an early plea.

Here is some info on the charge:

The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), high impact (three points), in play (no points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of eight activation points, which relates to a Level Five offence, drawing 425 demerit points and a four-match sanction.

Holland has a total of five matches suspended within the last three years, which increases his penalty by 40 per cent to 595 points. He also has 96.88 residual points from within the last 12 months, increasing his penalty to 691.88 points and a six-match sanction.

He decided to not take the early please and is going to the tribunal. Well I say good luck and you will need it. There is no way he should get off this and to the guys like Martin Pike (who I heard on SEN last night) talking about if you want to take hits like this out of footy, then go play/watch netball, I say: I you want to see hits like this, go watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it has no place in Footy these days!

I can see this ending in Appeal and us hearing from the Collingwood Fans and Eddie!
