Re: Jack Redpath

Still in shock about this one.

The comments in this thread are spot on. Terrible decision.

Re: Jack Redpath

I was hoping the post tribunal presser had gone like this....

Journo: "So Jack, what did you learn?"

Jack: "Next time I should just kick him in the head".

This decision just beggars belief.

The supposed difference between Mumford and Wines was the medical report.

That doesn't take the intent out of the equation, and only enhances the "chook lotto" aspect.

It's clear the AFL is hedging bets to avoid a controversial finals series. Wines would have been done for many weeks if it was an infringement executed at the beginning of the year. Jack Redpath is collateral in the justification of action and relevance.

Ok everyone.

Those that are going to Ballarat this weekend need to rummage through the linen cupboard and grab some spray paint to make up some #FreeJack43 signs to send a clear message to the AFL.

Puts tin foil hat on.

MRP always seems like a stitch up for us. Our players get whacked and it seems that so many get off. It's like a green light to belt our players. The matches against the plastics there is always something that happens and more often than not they're playing the next week.

Then any of our boys go up we're very rarely given any leniency.

I don't know, seems we always take it up the behind MRP day.

I know the interpretations have changed since last years prelim, but wow if GWS had won they would *should* have had a fair few players suspended for the grand final. A few direct fists to faces. In any case, even if the current interpretations were in the AFL would have found a way to let the giants players off.

All meaningless anyway because WE won the game and went on to win a flag. Thank you very much

Re: Jack Redpath

Geez I just imagined how bitter and angry (more so) I would be these days if we had been defeated in last years prelim. But we won!! Woohoo

The good thing is we don't have to think about that. The space in our brain that would have dealt with that is now full of the sublime memory of a premiership.

Agree. But what can you expect when Nathan Burke is in charge. He hates us.

Re: Jack Redpath

1 week for the slap
1 week for the bad record
1 week for the poor attempt at the appeals board.

Phil Davis is partially to blame and clearly the system is flawed. It's not the MRP fault, they only grade accordingly to the AFL legislation.

Re: Jack Redpath

It is another example of the AFL (I blame the commission) doing as they please. It is all about the dollar these days. Remember Barry Hall getting of a punch so he could play the grand final. How Green was let off is a disgrace to every parent trying to teach their kids to play fair. And Redpath for two weeks for a push that went high is just a joke. Davis should be suspended for acting. We are following soccer with the acting these days. The umps need to be smarter out there

Surprisingly most seem pretty supportive. If there is any positive out of this it will be that there is a shake up for the MRP. I'd personally like to see them face the dragon like the Tarly's

I saw a headline saying Nathan Buckley also questioning the consistency.
