I really don't think the appeal will be successful. I don't think the point is whether he hit Marsh with his spit, or how far away Marsh is, or whether one leg is a little more behind the other one. It's more to do with the action of spitting and the intent therein. To me it seems clear that he spat in a offensive manner towards Marsh, regardless of whether he was trying to hit him or not. His action was intimidatory and deliberate. The argument that players spit all the time on the feild doesn't wash, sure everyone who plays sport probably spits plenty of times, but they choose to do it in a non-offensive, non-confrontational way, i.e in the back play.
Dunley knew what he was doing, he had time to give Marsh a verbal spray than to let loose with his low act. He deserves the 4 weeks. End of story.

I disagree - how can intent be proved?
It looks bad from behind Marsh because a zoom lens is employed and the space between them is forshortened.
The Ch 7 camera shows the golly lands miles away from Marsh. I just fail to see how spitting within a metre of another player deserves 2-3 weeks more than a spear tackle which endangers their life.
Which causes more disrepute to the game?

They will push the line that the onus is on a player to ensure that nothing goes near another player! Not intent but outcome will be the issue!!!
I have to stand corrected and count myself as one of the idiots. I still can't believe it, he should buy a lottery ticket. Anyway it's good for us.
