MRP round 16

[Tatts22]

Joke suspension the AFL must be getting nervous Collingwood could miss the finals.

If this were the case surely Chappy would have got a week as well - at least that one could have been justified.

What for missing?

 

[Luke Sicari]

Surely Lake gets 3+ weeks. One of the worst things I have ever seen on a footy field

Seen the Goddard incident; most likely screwed by the system. I noticed the goal umpires had both flags going as whilst Goddard bumped. Going to dredge up the MRP guidelines, but I think that's where the intentional comes from; i.e., going the bump before a centre bounce on a player who wasn't expecting contact.

Well if they are so corrupt & so desperate to see Collingwood in the finals that they suspend Goddard for nothing why not Chappy as well?

 

[ManWithNoName]

It was a cheap shot 50m off the play that left a bloke on the ground. Absolutely it deserved a suspension.

For a bloke that looked like he'd been killed, he played out the game alright...

The Goddard suspension is the latest thing proving that the AFL has it out for Essendon

Hates Goddard, loves Chappy?

I have to admit, it did seem a bit harsh when compared to plenty of other instances over the season. I dont think the MRP is having a very good go at things this year, and while I'm fine with the idea of points and good/bad records, it should only come into charges of the same type IMO.

That said, it was probably unnecessary contact, but that happens literally several dozen times a game.

Beams got off the other week but then Goddard and Rocky get done this week.

Robinson gets 2 weeks and then Chapman and Gray get off for exactly the same thing.

I'm a little confused

as we all are- at least the MRP are consistently inconsistent!

Much clearer than the Goddard one at the very least

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Time for the points system to go. How does a bloke get 2 weeks, down to 1 for a shove in the chest?

 

[bkozican]

Chapman did exactly what Mitch Robinson did the week prior (2 week suspension as a result)

Petrie's contact with the face can only be deemed "unreasonable" or "unnecessary" depending on the outcome of the Lake "direct to tribunal" case. If Lake is done for rough conduct....then surely Petrie's facial contact was entirely reasonable and necessary given he was being choked out.

Your thinking in a logic way, something the MRP doesn't do.

Look, its simple! The mrp loved St Kilda Goddard, but hates Essendon Goddard, and they hated Geelong Chappy, but love Essendon Chappy. Its all in the latest mrp top secret gazette. Do keep up.

There is an enormous problem in the fact that the MRP only address what gets spoon-fed to them by the AFL, they don't actually review matches themselves, only snippets.

Creates a ludicrous situation.

You cant imagine that the actual MRP panel would watch every minute of every camera angle of every match. Someone has to do it at the AFL but not sure its the MRP's job

To allow for clarity and consistency, surely it has to be brought in house by the MRP in some form.

It would be nice. At the same time I wouldn't mind hearing on how they decide on which incidents to look at. Is it just the ones the media spots and highlights? What happens when they miss stuff? Clarity, clarification and consistency would be fantastic...but this is the AFL

Re Rockliff Richmond would of put in a complaint and time it happened
