Rance cleared of diving.

From Patrick Keane

Alex Rance cleared in actions v LFranklin. Under its guidelines, MRP said any exaggeration of contact was not excessive.

Either Rance is soft, and falls over at the slightest touch, or the AFL guidelines on exaggeration need a overhaul.

Umpire should be the one suspended for paying the free.

Players wouldn't dive if they weren't rewarded for it like Rance was there.

Actually was found guilty of staging, but cleared of any sanction due to poor execution.

This...


Browny was all over Rance in the media and he is right.

Were WAY softer frees paid over the weekend.

Its interesting that it wasnt "excessive staging". Does this mean it was just the regular staging?

 

[ashep]

The fact that this was even discussed at MRP is a total embarrassment for Rance.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Leroy Jetta must be cursing only player in the league to miss a week for diving.

 

[Bennett.]

Some people are very very protected.

Cool!

 

[Stopher]

What would be excessive then? Franklin to be reported due to Rance's actions? Rance to injure himself due to the severity of the flop?

Genuinely interested as to how they arrive at their findings sometimes.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Went down like he'd been shot, pathetic.

 

[BG32]

Rance is a soft campaigner

So what?

 

[The Joker]

It was great to listen to Leppich defend the action by saying we don't want anyone staging for free kicks and Lyon shouting, he did get a free kick!

Yeah but if any of us for pushed by a 6 foot 8 guy we would go over that quickly also... ******* great argument that!!!

Sniper in the crowd.

 

[Bollox]

Just a bit of push and shove.
Too many rules regulations and too much over officiating.

Worst part is when you KNOW the MRP are simply trying to bullshit their way around NOT implemeting their own rules...like excessive exaggeration" or whateva they call it.

If they wont implement it, dont invent it.

That's one thing he's not, but you hold true to your beliefs keyboard warrior.

Yep agree, just two great players having some fun-no drama at all. Umps should have just gone on with the game.

Rance is Richmond through & through. A real push over
