    Re: MRP Round 15

    MRP refused to allow Cooney any less than 3 weeks under its jurisdiction. So Cooney went to the tribunal and pled not guilty.

    Got 1 week... 1. One. Single. Uno. Not multiple. Not plural. Singular.....

    The system appears broken again... It was interesting that Cooney's rep had Rodney Eade called to give character evidence about their time at the WBFC.

      Just an observation but Rodney Eade must find coaching the Suns an easy gig. If he's not being a character witness for Cooney he is expressing his views on if Brisbane deserve a priority pick in this years draft. It must be an outdated notion for coaches to just coach struggling clubs nowadays.

        Where was the media screaming 'we don't want to see him lose a Brownlow over something like that' with Grant? And it's the third time in one season. Angry for the current game and past guys in Grant and also McKernan. Joke. A bad joke.

          The AFL will not allow a Chris Grant to happen to Fyfe, unless he actually causes the death of an opponent.

            Fyfe incidence was no more than a free kick.

              You'd be happy to hear Brown and Dunstall saying the Brownlow should allow one week suspension to avoid minor incidents rubbing a player out.

                I watched that tonight and don't agree.

                The Brownlow tradition is for the BEST and FAIREST player. The report by the umpire yesterday was just ridiculous. However, the tripping charge from early on in the year when Fyfe virtually kicked Koby off his feet - that should have been at least a weeks suspension.

                    In your opinion. Others have said otherwise.

                    Besides how many has he had like that? Funny how the umps keep getting it wrong for the same guy, who happens to be the Brownlow favourite.

                      I agree with this. It was clumsy and not malicious.

                      Some of the opther stuff he has done this year has been worse, but his incident this week was fine.

                        I also agree BAD and Soup, we would be screaming out loud if it was one of our players and they got a week for it.
                        The true misjustice is Hodge only getting two weeks.

                          The Hodge one was so dangerous and the consequences could have been horrific. That was no spot to lay a bump.

                            I am certainly in the camp that Fyfe's was no more than a free kick. Would hate to see players rubbed out (or even fined) for there being incidental contact in a contest. The North player just got to the footy slightly before him, and if Fyfe pulled up/pulled out it would have looked ridiculous.

                            Agree with BAD also regarding Hodge. His was quite despicable. Now he gets a two week freshen up and a clean slate before the finals.

                              Nothing in it BAD - just ask fanboi Lingy and all the other Ch 7 lemmings. Hodge is "hard but fair", "he would never deliberately slam someone into the point post", "Wingard was at fault for dropping the knees". Another 7 years of these scumbags on TV
