First one for the year.

Yarran cleared.

Nothing in it.

Thought the Vickery karate kick on Mclean might have been looked at. Oh well. Yarran cleared - and with it looking like Betts is out - it is very handy news.

Yeah...WTF was with that?... Haven't seen or heard a thing about it. Your jumper brushes your opponent's head as you run past...FREE. Raise your leg to plant your studs into someone's face/neck region...PLAY ON. We know high contact isn't restricted to contact with the hands only; copping someone in the scone with your hips/chest etc is paid all the time.

Wasn't expecting anything, but a bit of banter about the absolute shiteness of that decision wouldn't have gone astray.

It was briefly mentioned on On The Couch on Monday night & Healy, Sheahan & Roos all felt that Vickery was very fortunate it wasn't even looked at by the MRP.

If that had been Judd, it would have been backpage news and replayed in slow motion over and over until the MRP booked him for it.

Yep, on a charge freshly invented, and several million words in the media and in the blogosphere about the Evil Judd would have ensued.

Boy Bristle and Richo will be dirty that Yaz got off. They'd thrown away the key after one replay.

 

[King of Ruin]

If that had been Judd, it would have been backpage news and replayed in slow motion over and over until the MRP booked him for it.

I'm surprised they didn't edit the footage to hold Judd responsible.

 

[Aphrodite]

Unbelievable !!!

Jarrad Waite can accept 1 game, making contact with head to Tom McDonald.

 

[MickyB]

That is an absolute joke. We must contest

 

[etsal1]

Well at least our fears of Walker getting cited haven't been realised

 

[fortynine]

Very disappointing. Whilst I think it doesn't constitute a week and should have been thrown out for insufficient force, Waite only has himself to blame for having a poor record and an exploitable temper. It was a silly thing to do.

 

[Danielrocks123]

Insuffiecient force that should be enough to get him off surely

 

[Jeremias]

Sometimes all you can do is shake your head in disbelief. What was he thinking?

Sure the incident may have been soft but Jarrad deserves a week off if for nothing else than because he was stupid enough to put himself in that position.

He is 30 now and he still just does not get it. How many times does he have to be suspended or even cited before he understands his wrongdoings?

Quite simply I don't think he should be in the leadership group. His actions show a clear lack of maturity, leadership and of what is required from a senior member of the football club.

Jarrad Waite, Carlton, has been charged with a Level Three misconduct offence (250 demerit points, two-match sanction) for misconduct in that he made contact with his head to Tom McDonald, Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round Six match between Carlton and Melbourne, played at the MCG on Sunday May 5, 2013.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 250 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 187.50 points and a one-match sanction.

Medical report

Did he even make contact !!!

 

[Anzac16]

So Waite gets suspended for something so inconspicuous but Buddy can get away with pile driving Otten's head into the ground??

Sure Waite might deserve a week for the pure stupidity of the incident, but the MRP is such a joke.

 

[Bosun]

So can he contest or is it automatic?

Stupid yes but there was really nothing in it contact wise.

 

[Azul]

The incident after the goal? The umpire awarded a free kick at the time with no match day report.

That is an absolute joke. We must contest

Waite has prior. AFL want to discourage unseemly behaviour lest it occur in school footy. Accept a week and move on, should the appeal be denied and he misses 2 weeks.

Can't disagree with any of this unfortunately.

Makes it even worse when it was in the first 10 minutes after having not played the first 5 games of the year.

 

[etsal1]

Medical report from Melbourne Football club? What the????? Hardly touched the guy.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Stupid yes but there was really nothing in it contact wise.

He can contest it or accept 1 week with an early plea, might get 2 weeks if he contests and fails though.

 

[fortynine]

I don't see how they classified it as low impact. If they were going to challenge they should be arguing it was negligible impact considering it was basically a forehead grazing.

Not arguing the act itself wasn't a stupid thing to do, but if that is considered low impact then I don't understand this MRP rating system at all, because their level of consistency is absolutely non-existent.

The article states that he doesn't have an existing bad record which makes sense as he hasn't been suspended for three years.

Think we should contest this one, just not enough in it to be suspended.

This.
Misses a bit of preseason, and first 5 AFL games of the year, and gets sucked in 10 minutes into his first game. Walkers was stupid too.
Can't believe our blokes would get sucked in by Melbourne players, of all people.
Think it is more likely 1 week for stupidity.

I think we should contest too - really wasn't much in it.
