Thanks - not sure why I wrote JJ.

One of the experts somewhere kept saying it was JJ too. SEN, 3AW or ABC, one of them.

Corrected for accuracy.

Watched the first quarter again today. "expert commentator" Cameron Ling is an idiot. As he watches the replay he says "not sure that actually got him in the head", then when they show it again clearly showing that he got all head he comes out with "looks like it just glanced the jaw". Pathetic commentary.

Wasn't it Carey who said that?

Jones $1000 fine foe bump on Cloke.

Sydney midfielder Zak Jones has also avoided suspension for a late hit on Western Bulldogs forward Travis Cloke, with the MRP offering him a $1000 fine.
While Jones had appeared to make some high contact, the hit was graded careless conduct with medium impact to the body.

absolute rubbish. The MRP is a joke at the moment. Been saying it for years - penalties should not be based on injury sustained to the victim. It's about intent.

Exactly right. Scott Thompson on Dangerfield was the worst of the lot this week but only gets 1 week because Danger wasn't injured.

Staggered by this one as well. The Lewis one is also a head shaking decision. Medium impact for fracturing a guys jaw. I wonder if the MRP would classify an on-field murder as high impact; all indications would suggest probably not. And why should a player like Lewis, with his classified bad record, be given an early plea discount?

He wasn't. 3 weeks stayed 3 weeks because of his record.

If you go through the process it's reckless, medium impact to the body and not the head and it knocked the wind out of him for a few seconds.
I think a fine is OK.

Compared to Dahlhaus who got picked off with the ball nowhere near him I think they got it close to right.

The MRP have had a howler this week.. Can't agree with them on any of their decisions as all were far too lenient.

[comrade]

Wasn't really fussed about the Cloke one after seeing it a few times. He was in the air and chose to bump but didn't get the head. A 50m penalty and a fine was sufficient.

Thompson should have had 3-4 weeks thrown at him. Lucky he didn't break a jaw or eye socket, but then again it wasn't the only target he missed during the game.
