Harvey gets a reprimand for punching a bloke in the face and Trengove gets the same treatent for slipping over..even the commentators said nothing in it. Surely there needs to be a review for this garbage system.

Only the MRP has a system where Rough Conduct > Attempted Striking > Striking

Was the Trengove incident the one on outer boundary line where the North play lost the ball and turned back,leaving Trengove with no other option ?
If so he's bloody stiff.
Harvey got a week, but the system rewards good behaviour, hence the reprimand.
. I have no problem with that.

Wow I can't believe Harvey got away with that, should have been at least a week as it was a pretty forceful punch to the face.
The inconsistency of the MRP is unbelievable.

The issue was he was deemed Reckless and not Intentional
That is what has saved Boomer - still a crazy decision in light of others this year

That's crap, if you punch a bloke in the face that is defenceless lying on the ground you should get at least a week, good record or not.
That's why this points system with discounts for good records and extra loading for bad records doesn't work.
Steven Baker didn't do anything much worse to Stevie J than what Harvey did yet he got 9 weeks suspension and Harvey gets nothing, all because one guy has a good record and one doesn't. That doesn't make sense.
The whole MRP system needs an overhaul.

How the **** is it not intentional when you punch a bloke in the face?
You obviously have no idea how the court system works

No idea.
Also just saw the Stewart suspension - ridiculous suspension
He'll appeal and it will get overturned

How does it work? I always thought if you do the crime you do the time, you don't get off for murder just because you have a good record with no previous crimes.
Harvey intentionally punched an opposition player in the face with a fair amount of force and should have got at least a week regardless of what his record is like.
It's just another in a long line of farcical decisions handed out by the MRP.
I have no problem with that side of it, but honestly can't figure out how that wasn't intentional`
Clearly deemed he should've levitated over the guy.
I liked this bit of justification on the Jetta stage (he did it, unlucky to be the first pinged, but he did it):
Seriously? Could have started a melee... but didn't. So could any number of totally incidental, non-reportable bumps/hits/tackles.MRP said:
Terrible justification - there's a pretty clear rule against staging which Jetta infringed... they've no need to invent shit like that.

Didn't Harvey slap someone last year, while we're at it? Against St Kilda in Rd 23?
Trengove was lucky to get a reprimand - he didn't need to go to ground at all and went in knees first past the ball. I'm happy with the decision and hope he stamps it out of his game.
The Harvey one is bewildering. Punches a 4th gamer in the face (what a tough guy!) and doesn't get suspended. Wow.
