Patrick Keane ‏@AFL_PKeane 1m
Leigh Montagna 1 game, striking R Crowley. Penalty impacted by previous bad record.

Missed Round 1 of this year for Suspension also....

 

[hayes]

Seems to enjoy a delayed start to the year. Anyone seen the incident?

Was going to ask the same thing, didn't see the incident.

But Joey possibly missing opens up a spot for James Aish, Josh Kelly or someone .

 

[Fehring]

I can't remember what happened, but I remember seeing it on the day and thinking unpleasant things about Joey, knowing he'd get suspended.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

I swear the last 3 years we've had someone suspended in the final week. Meaning they miss Round 1 of the next year.

Always screws up the 'Round 1 Starting 22' threads

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

At about 4.24 the Joey Ban i think

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Ah yep.

Certainly there

 

[Rors]

Ridiculous.... And to think Barry Hall was let off when he turned & punched Matt Maguire in the solar plexus during the 2005 Prelim

 

[Jack Stevens]

Crowley milked that for all its worth.

 

[SaintLex]

Didn't look like much to me. I guess his bad record comes into it, although iirc, there wasn't much in it last time he missed round 1 either.

That's a joke. I really do dislike AFL now, but go Saints!

There is something fundamentally wrong with the method in which they choose to suspend or not… Fraser keeps talking about how long a player is on the ground for and if Marc Murphy had stayed down longer then Cassisi would have been suspended… Crowley and Johnson had no medical problems to report, but because they hunched over and fell down respectively, Maguire and Montagna both received weeks.

How is that going to stamp out acting? It's purely rewarding the best acting by suspending their opponent… just ridiculous.

 

[Squizz]

Jeepers - insufficient force surely.

 

[Nutsngum]

Whats the point of having "1 week" with no chance of extension? The player is always going to contest it unless it was something really ******* obvious in which case it wouldn't be worth the time.

 

[sauce_head]

It did his form no harm missing round one this year - being it on!

 

[Ekomaira]

Haha weak as piss.

1 - You should be allowed to do whatever you want to Crowley without getting suspended.
2 - How exactly did he get hurt? Maybe he felt it was going to make his period come early?

God help us. How pathetic. Goose was even more stiff than Joey!

How does Cassisi get off???!!!!!

Melksham protects himself, Jackson drops to initiate head contact and Melksham goes??!!!

Morons

I dislike the Saints as much as the next opposition supporter, but F me, that report is so weak as piss, looked like a gentle block on Crowley. Sick of this MRP crap week after week.

 

[Nutsngum]

Does anyone know if this went to the tribunal or did they just accept it?

AFL‏@AFL3 Sep
There will be no @AFLTribunal tonight after all players, including Buddy, accepted sanctions. Read the MRP report: http://afl.to/17h4eTV

 

[Parasite]

Can't understand that at all. Too busy trying to douse the flames of the latest scandal to fight the charge? Would he have got 2 weeks by challenging?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

I believe due to previous incidents there was no way he could actually get off the charge?

But if you take it to the tribunal they can totally disregard the MRP can't they? Hmm.

 

[stkildathunda]

Thats alright, look how he went this year missing first game.
