MRP Round 7

[James Pattinson]

2 charges laid.

7 further incidents in detail.

Taylor Walker can accept 2 games, rough conduct Harry Taylor. Penalty impacted by bad record.

Geelong's Joel Corey can accept $900 sanction for obscene gesture. (Flipped bird to the umpire).

Jordie McKenzie cleared contact Sam Mitchell. After medical report, impact was not sufficient to constitute a reportable offence.

Match day report Suns’ Tom Lynch assessed. Panel said Lynch trying to win possession, did not have realistic alternative to contest ball.

GWS’ Jeremy Cameron cleared contact Charlie Dixon. Dixon injury caused by accidental clash of heads, which was outside control of Cameron.

Robin Nahas cleared contact Nick Smith. Nahas did not use excessive force or drive his opponent into the ground with the tackle he applied.

Nathan Lovett-Murray cleared contact M Priddis. Lovett-Murray did not sling or drive Priddis into ground with excessive force with tackle.

Jack Ziebell cleared contact Mitch Wallis. After medical report, impact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.

Lions' Todd Banfield cleared contact D Beams.Banfield has arms outstretched when contact made,no realistic alternative way to contest ball.

2 games?

[James Pattinson]

2 games?

You seem surprised?

[r dub]

Can this medical report garbage please go? Priddis couldn't come back on the pitch, where art thou medical report? I don't want NLM suspended for that tackle but just rather citing how stupid the whole medical report thing is with regards to force etc

[Big Sledge]

2 games is bullshit.

It was one continuous tackle rather than the tackle then the motion to sling.

There was no injury to the player.

MRP can eat a dick

[Shuttlesworth]

You seem surprised?

I thought he'd get 1.

[yeah_nah]

Yeah what if you tackle some weak cunt into the ground and he has weak bones and you break his neck.

Not really your fault he's a weak cunt but MRP would probably see you banned for life

[Triptanes]

It's like when you were 6 years old and playing sport how if a kid used to start crying he would get a free even if nothing happened.

Not saying some incidents don't cause injuries. But you could have the same incident happen to two different people and have two different injuries. They are meant to classify the impact as high/low etc. Just do it that way. The medical report just seems like the way of dobbing someone in, without the player having to give evidence against them.

At the start of the year McDonald got a ban because he broke Parker's jaw and he was going to miss three weeks. Luke Parker ended up not missing a match I think?

That Joel Corey incident was one of the funniest things I've seen on the field. It's like something you instinctively do to your mates when they piss you off. Must of just forgotten where he was for a second, and applied it in the wrong situation.

[James Pattinson]

I thought he'd get 1.

So did I, but why are any of us surprised when the MRP is involved? He was just as likely to be de-registered as an AFL player and banned for life as he was of getting off.

Oh right, I get what you mean by 'you seem surprised' now.

I thought he'd get 1, but the Kosi tackle on Duncan in R13 last year was very similar and Kosi got exactly the same penalty.

Mumford vs. Carlton last year was very similar tackle as well and he got 3 weeks.

[James Pattinson]

Mumford also got 2 weeks for this tackle on Ellard - 2:57 in.

Based on evidence, it's not actually really that surprising he got 2.

[Mattman]

Isn't that exactly the type of thing the AFL have been targetting the past few years?

He had Priddis completely wrapped up, wrestled his legs out from under him and drove him into the turf face first with his arms pinned.

Don't see how that gets off.

[r dub]

Funny how Merrett got zilch for his sling tackle last week or the week before can't remember.

Quite clear that isn't what they were targeting in the past.
