Fyfe on Duryea

[blue harvest]

$1500

$1000 with the early plea

 

[BF Tiger]

It was intentional (only in that Fyfe knew what he was doing (will be classified as careless)) and was meant to hurt Duryea, but not really meant to injure. I don't like it but I doubt the MRP will suspend the raging Brownlow favourite for that. If it was someone else though...

 

[WWSD]

Nothing in it. I hate seeing players getting rubbed out. The 50 meter penalty is a fair result. I hope Fyfe gets off.

 

[ChesterTreasure]

Deserves a week for stupidity once again (see tripping incident earlier this year) but under the normal chook lotto system would only warrant a fine this year.
Regardless, the AFL will not let him do time - they have had enough embarrassment this year without their runaway Brownlow winner being ineligible.
And before anyone cries "conspiracy theory" - Luke Ball has admitted that Mark Evans was in the room during their deliberation of the Buddy Franklin decision two weeks ago !!!

 

[grouse mate]

Probably deserves being looked at by the MRP, and sadly from there it's depends on the mood/vibe/phase of the moon/chicken entrails/whatever they go by this week.

So what did you think of Cotchin's late spoil last week?

 

[Tyrone Time]

Loving the people defending Fyfe and Duckwood that want Mitchell suspended for a knee on knee incident where Fyfe ran passed the ball to get Mitchell and caused the contact. And then there's the Collingwood folk comparing Mitchell to Adams. The bitterness and obsession is officially at scary levels.

 

[Hawkforce]

50 metres correct penalty.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

50m is the correct call. Wasn't deliberately trying to hurt Duryea imo but definitely late with impact

 

[tek87]

fyfe did not have his eyes on the player at point of contact so intentional is out. just a clumsy spoil. look at the photo. and the impact at best was hardly worth a cough. not a chance in hell of being suspended and those who thinks so are either have an agenda or underestimate Channel 7. Hodge had the temerity to have a go at Fyfe. it aint a deliberate elbow you doofus

 

[Wil79]

50m penalty, good call.

I would be gutted if it was a hawks player and they missed out on a bronlow for that.

 

[Wil79]

Lol. Yep, he clearly doesn't understand the game like you do.

 

[Cobbler]

Think we all need to relax.

50m at best.

The knee drop into the chest will get him 2 weeks however!

 

[Cynic]

Nothing in it at all. Barely even warrantee the 50.

 

[Hawkinspired]

We know the AFL is corrupt and they will do everything in their power to ensure he gets off. I'd hate to see it happen but that's the rules. You can't have other players miss weeks for the same thing and give Fyfe a fine.

So what did you think of Cotchin's late spoil last week?

Mercury was in retrograde, so it was all OK...

It's the MRP.

 

[Wild Bill]

Fine at most.

Agree - would be his 2nd this year. a third and he loses the Brownlow - he may get 2 in this game. He is treading a fine line.

 

[cryptor]

Clear mark if not infringed so 50m penalty sufficient.

Careless, high contact, low impact. $1500 down to $1000 fine.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Not even close to the Tippett situation... some people need to stop and take a deep breath.

 

[Bunnie]

Watching with interest. In still pics looks like a fine. In real time looks a bit ordinary. Played the game out like a man reported.

 

[spudmaster]

Am more interesting in seeing how he gets off when he inevitably performs his 3rd stupid act and therefore gets a week. Some rule about the incident in isolation not being worth a week therefore okay, but rather cumulatively?

He will have to decapitate someone to get rubbed out this year.

Applicable to a few ex's of mine, funnily enough.

 

[theyellowsash]

Flip a coin.

It would indeed be a travesty if this makes him ineligible, but given other similar incidents copped a week it would not be unsurprising.

Well when you play like a sniper it will catch up with you eventually. He has had too many of these things for it to just be bad luck

 

[pazza]

Going for a spoil. Unfortunately took his off the ball. Barely a free kick.

Never even looked at the ball in flight

Not the first time he has "played the game out like a man reported"
Could go down as one of the greatest, smartest, dumbest players of all time.
