He struck Blakey with a full on fist in the jaw, one week is lenient imo, not sure what got into Martin as that type of act isnt part of his game. Maybe Blakey said or did something to him prior that got him incensed enough to go the cheap shop but it was a bad look and very undisciplined which is a shame given he is playing the best football of his career with the club.
The only hope they have is to argue the impact down from high to medium and he gets a week instead of 2. If it were me, I would grade impact as follows with respect to the player that gets "hit":
- Player continues playing or receives minimal on field treatment/attention - Low
- Player goes off, receives treatment and needs to spend the mandatory 20 mins off then comes back on - Medium
- Player concussed, goes off and misses next week - High
