Giddy up.
Makes you wonder why any umpire reports during a match now.

Touché Aza, touché.

Why assumes the presence of logic in the decision
Glass got one week !
Staggering .
Douglas should have got an award not an impending suspension
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
Reckless is fair enough, low impact however when Wingard went to hospital afterwards and was visibly affected from the hit is ridiculous, and Wingard is tough. Why does Glass get a lesser penalty because the player he took out is tough? And how the hell was it only body contact? The video clearly shows his arms collecting Wingards head. How that is assessed as purely "body contact" I don't know. Ridiculous.Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Port Adelaide Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One Offence, drawing 125 demerit points. He has a bad record of 93.75 demerit points carried over within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 218.75 points and a two-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 164.06 points and a one-match sanction.
I was also under the impression that taking your eyes off the ball to acquire a target and leaving the ground to bump should both incur higher punishment, and Glass clearly takes his eyes off the ball before impact and launches himself into Wingard. And he cleans Schulz up unfairly in the same quarter and faces nothing for that.
Meanwhile Thompson got done for his "hit" on Cloke.
Now I'm not a big fan of Scott Thompson, but this happens multiple times in each round and is the first time I've seen someone get done for it. I just can't believe that it cops the same impact rating as Glasses, when Cloke was clearly fine approx. 8 seconds after the incident. This isn't really a criticism of the rating here as it couldn't be lower, but rather the Glass one.Based on speaking with the umpire, the video evidence available and a medical report from the Collingwood Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One Offence, drawing 80 demerit points. He has a bad record of 60 demerit points carried over within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 140 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 105 points and a one-match sanction.
The MRP is actually a joke.
I should leave it alone but you're not right
Here is the Thompson incident if you've missed it.
