MRP - Round 3

[aker39]

Ash McGrath - 1 week (can't be reduced)
Mitch Clark - 1 week (can't be reduced)
Franklin - 1 week

When exactly did the Franklin incident happen? I can't even remember seeing it.

Didn't Franklin miss round 1 due to suspension? I'm assuming then that his can't be reduced either.


One week is enough for the two Brisbane boys but they are both very lucky IMO.

Shoulder to Aker's head off the ball.

I actually missed how many points he got.

I thought they may have said 131, so with 25% reduction, it would be 98.25 points.

Edit - Hawthorn board on BF saying even with guilty plea, still gets 1 week.

Considering the way that Buddy is playing at the moment, and the propensity for Collingwood’s backline to cut up lazy forwards, it might not be a bad thing for him to sit out.

Of the two Brisbane players to get rubbed out, I actually think that McGrath is the biggest loss for the Lions. We struggle to contain good attacking half back flankers, particular when there is more than one of them. McGrath has been in good form and with him gone, we can put more time in to Drummond.

Happy with the two outs for Brisbane. I heard Voss will appeal any action against McGrath so obviously we should hope that fails.

How could they expect to get him off?

Heh, I wouldn't appeal it either.

Provocation I think, according to McGrath(explaining his actions to the umps)

So what was his excuse for trying to gouge someone's eyes and fish hooking their mouth.

Don't know yet, but we will find out when he appeals. He complained about it at the time to the umpires(when he was getting reported) but FOX couldn't pick it up.

If he received a squirel grip or got a digit up the tail pipe then he has a case anything other than that he got sucked in and it's tough IMO.

True, but the sight of a Pies jumper has recently sent Buddy into a goalkicking frenzy. Hawthorn have absolutely owned the filth in recent history, none more so that Buddy.
