Judd gets three matches

Re: Judd gets three matches

Not sure if this has been mentioned on other threads but does anyone know if the MRP even looked at Joel Selwood clothes lining Gilbee... not once but twice!?

I was sitting on the wing and had a pretty good view of the two incidents and I hope that the video has been reviewed. While I haven't seen the footage, both hits looked intentional and high.

I was on level 2 of that win and they both looked like they were definitely worth looking at. I haven't seen the replay so it's hard to judge but the MRP cleared him. What do people think in an age where even accidental head high contact pulls weeks?

I think it's ridiculous that you can be found guilty & suspended for accidental contact of any sort.

Nothing in the selwood tackles.

Re: Judd gets three matches

There is definitely something wrong with the system if this is the case ... IMO any indiscretions in the finals should carry over into the following year's Brownlow

No way!!

The Brownlow Medal is only reflective of the Home & Away season.

You can't get votes in the finals, so any suspensions you receive then shouldn't count either.

I agree but if they are going to hand out weeks for bumps that accidentally catch a head (like Murphy and Franklins) it doesn't make a lot of sense when two coat hangers would be quickly given the ok. If there was a concussion would that have changed the outcome? It shouldn't but I bet it would.

This is what I disagree with most ... yes, you can only get votes in the H & A season (this is to ensure ALL players have an equal opportunity to win Charlie), but the medal is held in such high regard, any indescretions in the finals should rule you out the following year.

You could have a great season, but then be the dirtiest mongrel in the final King-Hitting someone and still win the Brownlow ... I think thats wrong

They should change the rules how can you separate certain games .. oh its finals so you can smash a bloke now and its still fair ??

Best and fairest you would think should include whole season even practice games, finals and NAB cup (or whatever its called each year), fair enough you cant get votes because not all teams are in them but at least stay fair in all games. Is that to hard to do?

I must say i have always wondered why some players havent gone the punch in grand finals, who cares if you get 10 weeks if it knocks out the best player and your team wins a grand final (and ours hasnt in 50 odd years) he would probably be looked at as a hero in some supporters eyes.

Thats my 2 cents worth (minus tax, rounded up 1 cent)

Monty got absolutely wiped out in the 2006 Elimination against the Pies in the first 5 seconds of the game, he got up & played out of his skin bagging 4 goals, teams that go the punch lose focus on winning the ball imo.

Mark Yeates also tried to KO Brereton in that grand final, and Dermie ended up being instrumental in their premiership. Sounds like a good idea but it doesn't seem to work.

Re: Judd gets three matches

Good to login and see this.

*For those who might ask, yes, he can still win the Brownlow. Its only indiscretions/suspensions that happen during the H & A season.

Thanks for that - first thing I thought.

Judd should have got a couple more for his ridiculous explanation of his martial arts move in trying to find the pressure points.

Was he claiming that the eye is a pressure point?

I agree, just made him look more guilty and even more stupid.

Second time he has been reported for eye gouging obviously one of his moves, i wonder how many he has got away with?

No behind the ear.

Should get suspended for attempted use of martial arts to injure a player.

And kicked out of martial arts classes if he does them, as they are only for defence.
