I have no qualms with Ballantyne getting 2 weeks but for Smedts to only get one when he intentionally clotheslined Spurr... come on at worst it deserved the same as Ballas.
Should have been more...like maybe 2-3.

Sure you aren't a Geelong supporter ?I'd of had no problem the tribunal giving Smedts 5-6 weeks.
Who these days, gets nothing for leaving the ground and bumping the head- MRP pretty consistent on that?I would have no problems with him getting a one week suspension since he did hit the head. What I do have a problem with is the inconsistency of the MRP, how can someone get three weeks for something others have got nothing for?
Why? Harry is a fair player.No biggie I guess, given how completely out of form Ballantyne has been in the first two rounds. Several Freo posters want him dropped anyway. Nice to give Handbag Harry a whack too.
So according to the MRP, an accidental high bump is worse than a deliberate coathanger?
Maybe not but still not as deliberate and unessesary as that coat hanger! FMD one week is the fricken joke of the century!It wasn't accidental it was careless.
Head clashes are 99% of the time accidental. Ballantyne tucked in his elbow and elected to bump, was careless and whilst running at pace shouldered Taylor and collected to the jaw. That's not accidental.
Records were wiped when the overhaul occurred....So what you're saying is, you're happy with the decision? They did get the same penalty. Ballantyne's bad record added an extra week on top of it.
This is correct, however, "players who have served two or more matches of suspension in the past two years now have an officially-termed “bad record”."Records were wiped when the overhaul occurred....

"Fremantle had eight players with carry-over points but now only Nat Fyfe, Matthew Pavlich, Hayden Ballantyne Colin Sylvia have bad records.Zac Dawson, David Mundy, Zac Clark and Michael Johnson lose carry-over points."

I think it's to do with the severity of the whack? So it was graded as cash money only. If it had been graded as weeks then his "bad boy" record comes into play?So did the tribunal stuff it up with Stevie J in Round 1? Not that he deserved a suspension but they said he had no bad record. Pretty sure he's copped more than 2 weeks over the past 2 seasons
