You calling 3 rounds some time?
It may be in the rules, does not mean they are great rules. I would not be shocked if one day they think about removing the tackle from football because it may hurt somebody.

If anything, this should make it worse because the stager has sucked the umpire in and given his team an unfair advantage.
If the AFL feel strongly enough that staging is such a blight on the game that it merits reprimands for those guilty of it, then what does that say about players being granted an unfair advantage for themselves or the team through obvious acts of staging.
A lottery is exactly what this system is, and yet the recent changes were supposed to have removed that aspect from the tribunal system. Go figure.

Head has been sacrosanct prior to this season. Can't get them high with Adams, May and Fyfe not even attempting to pull up like Simpson did last week.
Betts was done for breaking Nathan Wright's jaw with a bump, so there is method in their madness. Don't want someone to miss games like Wright.
Fyfe could have smothered like they said on the MRP news.
You can tackle like Robinson ragdolling Zaharakis without locking it in.

Good to see May got off, absolutely ridiculous to have him charged at all in the first place

Unsure on this one:
"Contact between the Western Bulldogs' Liam Jones and Carlton's Marc Murphy from the fourth quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Murphy is running to the contest when Jones runs to shepherd for his team-mate, Liam Picken. Jones bumps Murphy within five metres of the football and makes significant body contact and high contact. After viewing all the available footage and receiving a medical report from the Western Bulldogs Football Club, it was the view of the panel that the force used by Jones was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken."
So Murphy cops a bump with high contact....and they go to the opposition for a medical report?
Chook lotto indeed..... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-04-21/mrp-full-statement-round-five

Oh for the days when proof readers were employed to ensure what was being published actually made sense. Spell check doesn't pick up blatant errors such as this.

was much more blatant and showed clear intent unlike Fyffe's, but no case to answer.
Looks like it's open season on the Blues folks!

The MRP concluded that little force was involved because Jones' hip pulled up fine the next day.

So tired of the MRP determining whether action should be taken based on the outcome... Either the action is illegal or it is not.
It'd be like the police determining the legality of drink driving based on whether you made it home alive or not.
Ridiculous.

In further developments the MRP has determined Carlton captain Marc Murphy will be reprimanded for staging....

I was about to post the same thing. Jones is very lucky, he got Murphy high with enough force to knock him to the ground and he was holding his jaw. Lucky the WB report was in his favour hey.

The circus continues for the MRP.
Lucky Murph didn't leave any teeth marks, would of been done for biting...I was about to post the same thing. Jones is very lucky, he got Murphy high with enough force to knock him to the ground and he was holding his jaw. Lucky the WB report was in his favour hey.
Considering the recent history of the MRP, I think Crameri should have been reported for injuring Judd.
May have only been a push in the back (how about it umpire), but the resultant injury should mean 3 weeks...
That's how they do it... isn't it?

Reckon some of you in here need to take your tin foil hats off.
It's not just Carlton that don't get the rub of the green. Murphy got up and played the rest of the game out. Why do we seriously care? It's not like it effects next week at all.

If the players aren't properly punished then they are likely to do the same thing again and potentially seriously hurt someone. Nothing wrong with wanting your opposition to be weaker as well.
Btw did anybody see Stringers rugbyesque tackle on White? Lucky that he didn't mess up White's neck considering his injury history.
I think most of us are ok with Jones not being suspended but we are just bemused as to why the MRP would need to receive and take into account any medical report from the Western Bulldogs in this situation.
Exactly, it is either a typo or the MRP and the AFL are incompetent.I think most of us are ok with Jones not being suspended but we are just bemused as to why the MRP would need to receive and take into account any medical report from the Western Bulldogs in this situation.
They will say its a typo as we all know the latter is accurate anyway...
