Re: MRP thread 2017

Charges Laid:

Jack Redpath, Western Bulldogs,

has been charged with striking Phil Davis, GWS Giants, during the first quarter of the Round 21 match between the Western Bulldogs and the GWS Giants played at Etihad Stadium on Friday August 11, 2017.

In summary, due to a previous poor record, his two-match sanction is increased by one further game to three matches and he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the GWS Giants Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional contact with low impact to the head. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. A poor record over the last two seasons increases the penalty by one-game to a three-match sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a two-match sanction.

Toby Greene, GWS Giants,

has been charged with engaging in misconduct against Luke Dahlhaus, Western Bulldogs, during the third quarter of the Round 21 match between the GWS Giants and the Western Bulldogs, played at Etihad Stadium on Friday August 11, 2017.

In summary he can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.

An offence for misconduct is classified as a $2500 sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1500 sanction.

Re: MRP thread 2017

What a disgrace. How Wines gets a fine for that bump is totally ridiculous. I can't take this league seriously anymore

Re: MRP thread 2017

So:

1. You can't make a low impact open fist strike to the face. 3 weeks (ok fair enough but 3 weeks is bullcrap)
2. You can kick a bloke in the face. Ok the AFL don't like it so you'll get fined. But it's basically fine to do
3. You can hip and shoulder a bloke to the head. Just make sure who you do it to doesn't get knocked out easily

What a joke. But exactly what I expected. You're losing me AFL

The whole umpiring, tribunal, MRP etc needs an overhaul, this is now beyond a joke.

Teams like Crows and GWS giving false medical reports and getting people suspended, yet a kick in the face is ok.

I honestly have no words. This is farcical.

Re: MRP thread 2017

Should have been suspended. Disgraceful.

There's no way Wines would have copped a suspension after Melksham was not even cited for something very similar but worse a couple of weeks ago.

Both incidents deserved a week or two IMO - MPR is a mess at the moment.

Re: MRP thread 2017

Great message to send to all levels of the game that a suspension is not warranted if a player, not in the act of marking mind you, leads to the ball with studs raised to the head of his opponent, strikes said opponent with raised studs, opponent leaves ground with blood flowing to get stapled up.

But what is a worse look for the game, warranting suspension, is an open hand to the chest.

Simply bewildering on so many levels.

and a btw, there is not a chance in hell that Toby Greene didn't know what he was doing in his reckless endeavour.

Re: MRP thread 2017

Hang on -- Toby Greene gets a wet lettuce leaf, and Redpath gets rubbed out for two weeks?

Did they get them round the wrong way?

Can someone please explain this to me because I don't understand.
