Re: MRO Thread

What I thought was even more Razor Ray was taking the Weightman 50 to one metre out instead of the goal line. He just can't not be involved.

Bizarre, given the tackle and free kick were inside the 50m line.

Intentional. High. Low impact. No injury. 50m penalty. Bad record.

Is that a fine?

Sick of this bloke constantly hitting high and getting away with it. I didn't see this last one but he has a bad record

He won't go for that, didn't land anywhere near his head/neck.

Very similar to Caleb's one I thought

The action was similar but the Port player landed on his back. Berry dove into the ground on his head.

I thought he was slightly unlucky a free was even paid, shouldn't even be looked at.

Re: MRO Thread

Mackay decision straight to the tribunal is interesting on so many levels.

Changes the game forever if he gets rubbed out.

Re: MRO Thread

Incident is ungraded too, so MRO doesn't think it's a reportable offence but has sent it directly to the tribunal anyway. If anyone ever wanted proof that the outcome carries more weight than the action/intent, then this is it.

Yes, agree. It’s basically saying despite having rules to the game (and I think it being clear no rule was broken - but will now to those who actually now the rules better than me), we don’t know what they are. YOU make a decision. Very AFL.

I would assume he gets off and the act of sending to the Tribunal is a PR / optics piece.
