MRO Thread

[bornadog]

I think it was our first suspension for the season, so I'm not sure there is a conspiracy against us. Watching again it was a 50/50 call, I'm not outraged.

However I have no idea how McCartin got off, chose to bump and fractured McAdam's cheekbone.

McNeil was concussed by Rampe, and Rampe got off. Over the years we have been dudded by ridiculous decisions.

Although that decision was strange it didn?t disadvantage us in any way whatsoever.

I bet every clubs supporters could complain about certain MRO decisions over the years.

But if it wasn't McNeil and was someone from a big club with any sort of profile it might've been a bit of a different story.

I’m still bitter about Todd Curley.

And Redpath.

At the risk of shooting Bambi's mother, I watched that incident again recently and I reckon that was definitely suspendable.

It's the fact that it didn't happen via the correct channels that remains an outrage.

Suspendable during that era though?

It was a free kick nothing more in those days.

Are we surprised Carlton involved? Look at Cripps getting off surprise surpise.

In fact I saw the Collingwood ruck smack Phillips in the face last nice and that was similar and worse.

While I agree that it would now be a suspension, it wasn't a lot different to the incident this year with Van Rooyen. Van Rooyed got off on appeal.

If we compare Chris Grant with the incident where Chris Judd broke the jaw of (I think) Pavlich and GOT OFF to get the Brownlow we know easily which incident most deserved a suspension.

Maynard sent straight to tribunal apparently from the AFEL GM charging him. Minimum three weeks if guilty. So season over if guilty.

Van rooyen gets one week.

Hopefully someone who doesn't accept or excuse violence, or someone who isn't an apologist for bullshit acts.

Maynard didn't have to ball up and make it count. There were ways he could have protected himself without concussing his opponent.

He only had one thing on his mind when he missed that smother, and that was inflicting maximum impact.

I have been singing this song for years and it's always greeted with "nah mate split second looks worse slowed down".

Bullshit. If you can ball up you can put your hands out.

I mean, I hate to see Maynard out he's great to watch, but he chose to nail him.
