Fyfe trip to cost him the 2015 Brownlow?

[Dirty_banchez]

Why are so many people foaming to have players suspended? Suspensions should be reserved for thuggish acts: Barry hall etc...

You are all starting to sound like that floggo Damien BS Barret.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Wasn't any malice in it. I don't think it was intentional looked like he slipped and reflexively stu k his leg out but he was still probably a little lucky because Stevens could easily have been badly injured.

 

[Tyler Hodges]

Bunch of *ing sooks, what nancy pants bitch would actually want fyfe to get suspended for that? turn off the footy and go watch some dancing with the stars your a disgrace!

 

[awaremind]

Glad he got off because I like him and I think he's the best in the league at the moment but Jesus I thought he'd get a week for that. It was a pretty awesome leg sweep karate kid style

Same same. That was no ordinary trip, that was a deadset hack.

Very glad he wasn't suspended, but I think some players in the past will be feeling pretty hard done by to go for lesser incidents.

Fyfe was done by a "lesser incident" last year with an accidental head clash. Everyone that got reported for tripping this year all got away with a fine; the one thing that has been consistent this year. At the end of the day the MRP is so damn inconsistent it's total joke.

 

[teknodeejay]

So now McKernan having a sook.

Shouldn't have been suspended at the time (nor Grant)... But no need having a big cry about it now off the back of Fyfe.

Agree.

When there was no intent only Stevens should be called lucky.

So now McKernan having a sook.

Very bad time and position to comment on this without getting viewed as sore loser...

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Lot of armchair haters with very small penises here. Tall poppy and tiny penis syndrome much?

lol, no, not haters, just baiters. It's so easy to get you defensive lot going.

Was always going to be a fine but it was right that he was reported for it. Tripping by leg has been really frowned upon ever since Paul Dear broke Peter Foster's leg.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Meh, not much in it. Free kick for mine. Was hardly dangerous.

Crap, it was dangerous, see my post above re Dear on Foster. However there was no damage done.

I've often wondered about all the suspensions these days. People pay good money to watch football these days and really deserve to see the best available players out there in the middle. As you say, unless there's a real thuggish action like a behind the play incident, or a player is a repeat offender, players should be fined.

 

[Mr Lizard]

So does Fyfe's trip on Suckling last night draw a fine (seeing as it won't affect his Brownlow chances) or does he get away with it again?

Lol

 

[raffrox]

Is umpire Stevic part of the MRP?

He should be fine then.

 

[Mr Lizard]

Genuine query, he has a habit of poking his leg out and tripping blokes.

Normally this is dealt with by the MRP and the offending player learns not to do it, but clearly this hasn't happened with Fyfe.

He should be fined then.

That's the going punishment. $1500 down to $1000 because he has no prior form.

 

[raffrox]

Genuine query

Sure it is.

That's what came to mind as you ate your breakfast this morning. Just a genuine query.

 

[Mr Lizard]

That's what came to mind as you watched the replay this morning.

Just a genuine query. No mention was made by the commentators, and I was too caught up in the shot at goal to notice properly last night.

Pretty sure Lake will be reviewed more closely by the MRP than Fyfe this week.



Will be interested to hear the excuse this time. Was he making an elbow to do the chicken dance and accidentally got the point of it too close to the opposition player's head?

 

[Mr Lizard]

I don't know of any incident last night involving Lake, and I'm not sure how it's relevant to this thread in any case.

This is the incident I am talking about:



Third time this season (that I'm aware of) where he has swept the leg. It will be interesting to see if the AFL starts punishing this guy the same as they do everyone else, or whether we'll be watching "Brownlow Chances" Fyfe keep doing this for years.

Are you really that stupid or are you taking the mick?

'swept the leg'??? He was diving forward to spoil the kick. Fyfe made zero play on Suckling's leg. The contact came AFTER Fyfe dived and Suckling moved forward. Your interpretation is about as accurate at Stevic's umpiring. Utterly and totally wrong.

Edit: Whats your take on Suckling playing on after the siren? Once you run off your line, its play on and no goal but I see you carefully failed to notice that with your cheap shot on Fyfe getting you all jiggy.

 

[Taylor]

Didn't think it was a trip, I thought it was contact below the knees.

 

[cryptor]

Won't get anything for it. Free kick all it was worth.

 

[Mr Lizard]

Fyfe made zero play on Suckling's leg..

This is patently wrong. I agree it was the softest of the three I've seen him do this season, but he definitely Dustin-Fletchered his leg out for contact.
