Tyrone Vickery 'bump' Where will the MRP wheel of fortune land?

[DrMike]

well he certainly didn't just stand there

I think you should watch it again because when contact is made that's basically what he's doing

I've already said plenty of times I think he'll probably get suspended, but people calling for heaps of weeks are just being malicious and ignorant

Richmond supporters in this thread sound a lot like Russian car accident scammers, jumping out in front of a moving car and claiming the car hit them.

All fine except Franklin made no attempt to get the ball although it was within 5 and deliberatley took out a player in what was quite a weak act, should have got at least 2 or more.

Franklin got two weeks - The early guilty plea exists regardless of its merits

In that case Vickery should get no more than one but he will probably get 3, the person moving was actually the Carlton player so in my mind he should get off altogether but knowing the MRP they will make an example of him.

Should Vickery have just let the totally unaware Carlton player run into him, he was virtually stationary and it was an accidental head clash not a high bump, he will probably get weeks but really shouldn't.

Don't most pedestrian accidents with cars occur by them accidentally walking in front of a car, if the car was chasing them it would be attempted murder/manslaughter.

What a disgrace.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

What a disgrace.

I know! "Careless conduct" my ass, he had eyes for Jamison the whole time.

The MRP is frustrating, but just know that I share your outrage.

This farce is all due to the Lindsay Thomas - Ben Reid head clash that got off. But it's wrong is so many ways. Vickery has no real alternative like some 'bumps'. He doesn't go high. He doesn't maliciously take him out. He simply props like a basketball screen.

They've really compounded it with the bad record as well which isn't fair considering this was completely incidental contact.

He has to challenge. At worst the tribunal should downgrade it and see him get no worse of a result.

You can make the case for a fine or maybe 1 week penalty for Vickery (somehow) not being cautious enough, but no way can he get 2 weeks.

 

[telsor]

Should appeal.

 

[Alesana]

Seems about right

 

[living_in_syd]

appeal please dont be pussies

 

[Greggy]

Reputation has cost him here, and will for any future incidents.

 

[DrMike]

Pretty much what I expected, not what I hoped
1 week for the early plea + 1 for the record

 

[BF Tiger]

Geez... in a weekend full of ugly incidents TVs little act is assessed as the worst.

Really hope the club appeals.

 

[Brown Bottle]

lolworthy as usual from MRPchookraffle

Medium impact, what a joke.

 

[Barnzy]

This was a clumsy block. I think 3 down to 2 is harsh even given a bad record. Reputation probably added a week as did Jamison not playing on. Fyfe would be lucky to be suspended for the same incident. I don't like the outcome over the action ruling what players get suspended for.

Fyfe was rubbed for more just last year for a lesser incident...

buddy got one for trying to knock titch into next week and ty just protected him self absolute bs should wear a swans jumper

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pretty spot on was high, careless and he should be thankful it wasn't high impact

 

[Royce Hafey]

The only non-Richmond people commenting here appear to be WC and Carlton supporters - oh and cue a Swan supporter who thinks it was "spot on" for Vickery to get 2 weeks for an accidental head-clash during a block while Buddy got only a week for what he did to Edwards.

Buddy got 2 weeks, and he had not been suspended for ages hence he got a reduction from 2 to 1. They are exactly the same charges. It isn't Buddy's fault Vickery can't stop doing silly things

Buddy had not been suspended for ages because the MRP kept giving him leniency and letting him off for controversial incidents.

And you honestly think the incidents are comparable? Well, obviously you do, which reveals how bias can cloud judgement.

Don't hit blokes high off the ball, simple actually.

Just cop the 2, Vickery will hopefully learn from this. Itnisntna big deal, Richmond surely can cover him anyway.
