    Re: MRP thread 2017

    They won't, but the AFL should appeal this absurd, spineless call on Greene. His action can not be deemed reasonable - a fine suggests they agree he did something wrong....that something wrong was with his foot to an opponents head.

        I tried to post here 3 times, but I'm so angry I was unable to string together a sentence.

          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.
          Yep, the precedent is set. You can raise your boot towards a player's head in an open play situation and at worst you'll cop a fine irrespective of the consequences.

          Hopefully he is BOG next week and kicks a bag against West Coke, but he is an incredibly lucky boy IMO.

            I can't wait for the kick to feature in junior leagues around the country, and Auskick on Grand Final Day. F*!$(! these clowns are beyond a joke. A joke is often funny.

              What has Redpath done to a member the MRP? He's now been on the end of 3 incredibly soft suspensions.

                The umpire got it right, rough conduct. The MRP changed it to misconduct, so that he doesn't get a third strike and automatic 1 week.

                On Redpath, my god has anyone seen the incident? He basically pushed Phil Davies who went down like a bag of potatoes and Redpath is given 3 weeks, 3 bloody weeks (down to 2 for early plea). The club must appeal this bullshit.

                  Redders is just the latest to suffer at the hands of the Phil Davis MENSA acting school. Tom Hawkins can relate.

                    Let's just be honest and admit that we are lucky that Lukey D didnt get cited for his vicious head butt of poor little Toby's boot.

                      BTW there is no way that Nathan Burke should be sitting on any panel that is sitting in judgement of a case that involves us in any way at all. He hates us and has never hidden the fact. If he had anything to do with either of those judgement we should be appealing them.

                        I tweeted Burke, Connolly and Whately using similar words. Only reply I got was from a smug GWS supporter.

                          I've always thought that in a situation like this Redders should be allowed to have a free swing at Davis. If you do the time then you should get the satisfaction of doing the crime.

                            So he is guilty but his action is not bad enough to suspend him. Must say I'm very confused

                              I saw one this Sunday in an U10s game. One parent umpire sent the player off immediately. The other parent umpire then got into an argument saying he shouldn't be sent off and it was barely a free kick. The world has gone mad.

                                How does Mumford get 2 weeks for his hit on Gawn, then Wines gets a fine!? What the f@#k! That is just unbelievable. Comes in late, leaves the ground and elbows him in the head. Fine. Yet if that's someone with a weak jaw then all of a sudden that same action is 3 weeks.

                                What a terrible terrible system
