Short of our legal rep pulling a Dennis Denuto and saying it was about the Vibe and Mabo.. we would've looked silly at the ttibunal.
It appears you can't even look at this incident in isolation for the manifestly excessive angle.

If Wood's love tap with an open hand deserves a fine then there are 500 fines every round. Joke.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton
Thanks or finding the footage. This is a joke. I agree McGovern should be sanctioned for staging it looked like he got shot. Add to that The monster if a man Jenkins going down like he was hit by a baseball bat. They should be embarrassed by how they performed. Clayton was crucified for dropping the exact same way. The only difference was that his was an elbow to the chinand was way harder than the Adelaide boys got hit. The commission have a serious hatred for Footscray still burning in them.

The Wood decision by the MRP is an equal piece of crap to the non-event that cost Chris Grant the Brownlow.

I reckon he had the bruising before hand and Easton must have got him on the right spot.
Still p#ss weak.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton
Here is an insight into the MRP who imo are bewilderingly inconsistent and botch decisions every week.

One bit I liked :-
And it is a credit to them as footballers and people that Barry Hall and ‘Mad Dog Muir’ would have been far better choices through their knowledge of intent, recklessness and severity of impact

Re: Match Committee - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton
Honestly, how we didn't challenge this is beyond me. Sure there is a medical report, but there was in the Oliver report too. Unless he is legitimately made of jelly that couldn't have done any damage. Either McGovern goes for staging -or- (if it did really hurt) there was preexisting bruising and Adelaide should go down for falsifying their report.

I'd forgotten about the Oliver incident. Very good comparison.

I too find the Wood incident baffling, though I will offer this - he got him with the base of the palm. Feel yours. It definitely has the capacity to cause bruising if hit with it hard enough.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton
Have seen around the forum people wanting a defensive forward on Docherty, but I don't think it will be necessary - he'll play a lot more in the middle with Cripps out. CD had him attending a significant number of centre bounces once Cripps left the game on the weekend.
I don't know if this is a good thing or not. He's maybe the best defender in the league (elite one on one, elite intercept player, elite skills), but he's SUCH a gun that he'll probably do serious damage in a more damaging role.

"If he hit him hard enough". How many forceful forearms to player's backs do you see every game?

Who else thinks this is a nice little turning point. JJ signs on, Toyd and Cloke return to the family. The group to be bonded this week and beat Carlton buy 8 goals to remind people they are not done with yet. 4 wins leading into GWS. Knock them over and we are back in it.

How many players would suffer back bruising regularly? (Plenty would be my guess)

And today I placed a new Doggies sticker on my ute, our downhill spiral started when I took the old sticker off for a new canopy.
I actually said to my Pups that removing it is going to be unlucky as we put the stickers on our cars just prior to the start off last season.
Watch out Blues, here we come.
