Re: MRO Thread

What a joke Buddy can throw a “clumsy” (deliberate) elbow at an opponents head and get off with a fine. Low impact through pure luck that Ryan wasn’t concussed.

The whole system makes no sense to me. A dangerous tackle, where the player is not concussed (refer Daniel) is a week and elbowing someone in the face is a fine. So many example of inconsistencies.

Rules for some and rules for others. Fyfe got off something similar didn’t he ? Insane that’s just intentionally meant to hurt someone.

Re: MRO Thread

What is it going to take to get suspended for elbowing another player in the head when trying to break a tackle? A Philip Hughes like incident where the elbow causes a massive brain haemorrhage? Not good enough AFL.

There is no question that there are rules for some.
It's a real disappointing part of the game.

You can go the other extreme with the Phil Davis flop that gave Jack Redpath 3 weeks

Jack was never lucky at the panel so yes rules for some.

That is a *!*!*!*!ing outrage.

He got two weeks for pushing Davis, then one on appeal and then one for playing in the VFL when told he could.

Re: MRO Thread

In my opinion, Viney should get weeks for this. Sick of players doing this, it is so dangerous, and can cause serious injury.

Put heavy pressure on the exact spot Phil Hughes got hit and died. Needs a big statement from the AFEL.

2 weeks holiday should be heading his way
He's lucky because it should be more

Re: MRO Thread

That’s absolutely disgraceful from Viney. Just recklessly dangerous, a non football act with a potential for something serious to come of it.

Also heard Dunstall on 360 talking about how it isn’t a good look. How about stop worrying about optics and worry about punishing actual thug acts that can cause actual injury?

Dunno about this one.

Re: MRO Thread

Anyway this is a massive blow for the rest of the competition. Viney playing for the Dees only hurts the Dees.

Tim Watson said exactly the same thing on Channel 7. It’s not how it looks guys, it’s bloody dangerous and could kill someone!
