MRP / Trib. 2014 MRP/ Tribunal News & Reports (aka Chook lotto)

[Boltfromtheblue]

Really liking that Dill has come out and so clearly stated his view on this sort of an incident. I don't know what he is like at all but need more clear thinking, logical minded people at the top of the pile that are wanting to improve the game and not just the business. Hope he is one.

Seems we might be getting some semblance of our game back now that ******* arrogant wrecking ball Demetriou is gone.

 

[thylacine60]

Stevie J may be cited for a kicking incident. Woohoo....

 

[Silvagnis]

Four weeks after the media puts Johnson on the backpage and he mentions his fondness for The Karate Kid.



Reckless act, low impact and body contact by a Hawk*.

*Cleared.

 

[Silvagnis]

Freo supporters are defending Johnson after they wanted Judd burned for elbowing Pavlich. Wow. Johnson appears to have sunk the slipper after having a look at Neale.

 

[BlueBelle]

Double edged sword. Next week is week 1 of fantasy finals. No way I'm not having Stevie J play. We nearly beat Geelong with him & without Judd last time, so it shouldn't be too bad

How did Stevie J go for you last night? Selwood did well

Don't ask.

 

[BlueBelle]

Don't ask.

Hehehe my opponents all had him - doesn't make up for Yazz but hopefully enough to get the break

 

[King of Ruin]

Don't ask.

Rookie mistake.

MRP full statement: round 20

Jarryd Roughead, Hawthorn, has been charged with a level one tripping offence for tripping. In summary, due to his previous poor record, his penalty of a reprimand is increased to a one-match sanction, even with an early plea.

Contact between the Geelong Cats’ Steve Johnson and Fremantle’s Lachie Neale from the first quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. It was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

It's OK to kick someone in the head, yet Waite gets done for staging?

Chook lotto.

the AFL is an amateur bush league sometimes

 

[kanye_best]

how about they send a message that acting like a complete pig on-field is not going to be tolerated?

 

[Jatz]

Wasn't a kick to the head. It hardly even constituted a tap to the head.

For all those not wearing tin foil hats, sense has prevailed.

 

[HBF]

Stevie J is very very lucky.
How the hell can you kick someone in the head on not even get cited. What a joke.

 

[Jatz]

Because it wasn't a kick.

[MrsEddieBetts]

Is there a link to this kick/not kick? I'd like to make up my own mind.

 

[Jatz]

The fact that you disagree makes me that much more sure that I'm actually right.

I guarantee that if it was a Carlton player that did it, your tune would be entirely different.

It's on the Afl app under the Cats Freo game.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Cheers Jatzy.

 

[Jatz]

Notice there wasn't much remonstration from the Freo player. He got up, mentioned it to the ump and then ran off.

Franklin getting off his bump was 100 times worse than this.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Looks like a kick to me. Very low contact, granted, but still a kick.

 

[Silvagnis]

The Boys Club is defending Roughead's Fletcher-type snipe, yet they're wanting Johnson to go for his silly, yet deliberate kick. Ha ha.

Johnson's kick was as intentional as Robinson swinging at Adams and connecting after he pulled it. Amazing that he didn't go for that.

they tend to soften up on the finals bound teams at the end of the season
