One of the experts somewhere kept saying it was JJ too. SEN, 3AW or ABC, one of them.

Watched the first quarter again today. "expert commentator" Cameron Ling is an idiot. As he watches the replay he says "not sure that actually got him in the head", then when they show it again clearly showing that he got all head he comes out with "looks like it just glanced the jaw". Pathetic commentary.

Jones $1000 fine foe bump on Cloke.

Sydney midfielder Zak Jones has also avoided suspension for a late hit on Western Bulldogs forward Travis Cloke, with the MRP offering him a $1000 fine.
While Jones had appeared to make some high contact, the hit was graded careless conduct with medium impact to the body.

absolute rubbish. The MRP is a joke at the moment. Been saying it for years - penalties should not be based on injury sustained to the victim. It's about intent.

Re: MRP thread 2017

The MRP have had a howler this week.. Can't agree with them on any of their decisions as all were far too lenient.

Exactly right. Scott Thompson on Dangerfield was the worst of the lot this week but only gets 1 week because Danger wasn't injured.

Staggered by this one as well. The Lewis one is also a head shaking decision. Medium impact for fracturing a guys jaw. I wonder if the MRP would classify an on-field murder as high impact; all indications would suggest probably not. And why should a player like Lewis, with his classified bad record, be given an early plea discount?

[Doc26]

Re: MRP thread 2017

He wasn't. 3 weeks stayed 3 weeks because of his record.

No he gets a week week discount for an early plea.

Statement from the MRP:

In summary, his penalty is impacted by his previous bad record and he can accept a three-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence and a medical report from the Carlton Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a three-match sanction. The player has an applicable bad record which impacts the penalty, increasing it by one match to a four-match sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a three-match sanction.

Statement from the MRP:

The discount he misses out on is the one you'd usually get for an existing good record. He's actually had extra tacked on for having an extra bad record.

Effectively the early guilty plea cancels out his bad record and the usual prescribed sanction stands as is.
