Ben Johnson (Collingwood) has been reported for a front-on-bump against Daniel Bell (Melbourne). Bell had to be stretchered off.
The MRP has given him 8 weeks, 6 weeks with a guilty plea.
Cracking down again now that it’s close to the finals – that’s consistency. Johnson deserves a harsh penalty for this one (like Michael Johnson and Matthew Stokes received in the pre-season), but what about the other ones mid-season that escaped the wrath of the MRP??
