MRP thread 2017

No case. Accidental impact whilst trying to spoil.

I will be ropeable.

I will be ropeable.

It will be careless and to the head. It will then come down to whether the impact is low or medium.

Low - Gets a fine
Medium - Gets 2 weeks down to 1.

The player wasn't concussed and played the game out. That's the justification the MRP needs to grade it as low, and not suspend him.

In the real world, it's to me a 2-3 week type of strike. But I can see this as a fine by this MRP.

Blood coming from his mouth, surely that is not low impact

Surely the evidence of an umpire being 2m from a head butt the week before would be considered over grainy footage.

I have no faith in the MRP.

Guess it comes down to careless or intentional. A closed fist, late action, strike into the mouth when the player took a chest mark.

Greene can accept 2 weeks and Nankervis 1

Hopefully Nankervis takes it.

Shane Mumford cleared contact TLiberatore. Mumford did not lift or rotate opponent in the tackle and the tackle consisted of one action.

Happy with the MRP decisions.

Fair enough too.

Match Review Panel full statement: round six

Toby Greene, GWS Giants, has been charged with striking Caleb Daniel, Western Bulldogs, during the third quarter of the Round Six match between the GWS Giants and the Western Bulldogs, played at UNSW Canberra Oval on Friday April 28, 2017.

In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Western Bulldogs Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a three-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a two-match sanction.


Contact between the GWS Giants' Jacob Hopper and the Western Bulldogs' Bailey Dale from the third quarter of Friday's match was assessed. The panel said the ball was loose with Hopper and Dale coming to the contest. Hopper comes from Dale's left side and has his arms in front of him, looking towards the ball, when he makes contact to his opponent as Dale is bending down. Hopper also makes contact with the ball with his feet as he is moving towards the contest with a free kick paid to Dale for the contact. It was the view of the panel that Hopper was contesting the ball and no further action was required.


Contact between the GWS Giants' Shane Mumford and the Western Bulldogs' Tom Liberatore from the fourth quarter of Friday's match was assessed. The ball was bounced in the centre for a ruck contest and Liberatore took possession of the ball. The Bulldogs' player was immediately tackled by Mumford who took him to ground. Mumford did not lift or rotate his opponent in the tackle and the tackle consisted of one action. It was the view of the panel the tackle was not unreasonable in the circumstance and no further action was taken.

Shane Mumford cleared contact TLiberatore. Mumford did not lift or rotate opponent in the tackle and the tackle consisted of one action.

So from the precedent of the last few weeks running into the back of a player while he is unaware and vulnerable, tick. Spear tackle, tick.

Great post Twodogs. And parents continue present trend of encouraging their kids to play soccer, not AFL. Soccer is now the sport that is the "most participated in" across Australia. Did anyone else see the second motion that looked awfully like sneaky forceful contact by Mumford on Libba whilst he was lying on top of Libba?

He pushed his body into Libba with what looked like a lot of force. Dirty act from such a big man on a little bloke like Libba.

I have made a few comments about it at work today.
