Should Anstey be suspended?

If you watch it a few times Anstey sets the first screen (legal), then bumps Carter as he's running (good physical stuff), but then gets agro and changes direction looking straight at him and goes through him.

If you think about this like the AFL tribunal would, there is no way he is doing anything but hitting Carter. The ball is not in the vicinity, he is not in a position like he is setting a screen. The fact that you can pretty much determine intent from the video SHOULD mean that he gets rubbed out. If the leaders of Basketball in our country want to send the right messages they will make an example of him. Anything else is just disappointing.

By the way I was going to post something like 'He's just doing the Robert Horry, anything to win' to ramp some people up. That was before seeing the clip. Now I'm just angry!

Yes that screen by Anstey should have been called. The screening is not allowed to move and make contact which it what Anstey. That is not to condone Carter's cheap shot and perhaps the officials overlooked that contact after no calling Anstey's illegal screen.

They certainly could not overlook Anstey's cheap shot on Carter. Anstey certainly deserved to be ejected.

Of course Wetover is going to defend his player, but if he was really honest he would agree that Anstey's hit on Carter was worthy of disqualification. Certainly if the boot was on the other foot, he would have wanted an opposition player ejected if Carter was on his team!!

For those who are saying that Anstey's screen was legit, can you please show me the difference between that screen and the one that Worthington got called on earlier?

Illegal screen which caused pain for Carter, which caused him to CHEST up to Anstey, to which Anstey responds with an attempted charging elbow to the head. At that point the ref calls unsportsmanlike, Vukona does the team thing and comes in and wraps Anstey (you never get your own guy in case they are going off and you get caught on the chin coming in!) and then its just hugs all round with a bit of swearing thrown in!

Anstey had to go, Vukona was unlucky but will happily accept the trade and Westover was already busy working the 'they send out a thug to provoke my superstar and when they both get ejected they win' angle. The only problem with that angle is that it is his 'superstar' who is the thug and Melbourne (most notably Anstey) are every bit as physical as the Dragons, just not as fit.

mt 4 cents worth.
