MRP / Trib. MRP 2019

[Belnakor]

The issue is not that this sentence is harsh, the issue is the unjustified lenience given out to other players. Especially famous players.

tbh we have been on the right side of this quite a few times with Fyfe.

Will be very surprised if it isn't downgraded to low impact and one week now.

I'm really liking Whitfield as a person. Doing everything he can to get this reduced.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

It’s clear Whitfield thinks it was low impact.

Also LOL at the eagez supporters trying to compare this incident to Gaff/Brayshaw. Just no. Eat a dick.

 

[wayToGo_]

He was down for 10-15 seconds? Wtf? No he wasn't! Unless I was watching the game in ultra fast forward mode.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

So he's getting 5 weeks instead of 2?

 

[XXRL]

Gleeson on a hiding to nothing defending the MRO's terrible grading.

Using a precedent from last season, when there are plenty from this season that show the opposite.

Arguing that a hit to the head = medium. There's a whole part of the grading relating to where you moron!

Amateur hour stuff really.

Also, I've always liked Whitfield, now even more so!

What a legend.

Players' code would have been to say "he punched me 300 times Sir".

And also the truth based on the footage...

 

[gaskin]

I think even Gleeson knows it is bullshit but is having to pull stuff out his arse to defend Michael Christian.

 

[bushchook]

There must have been something in the medical report, otherwise I can't see that as medium impact. I hear it was low impact if the player does not leave the field

Impact isn't confined to medical impact. They also take into account how bad it "looks". Ridiculous but there it is.

 

[bushchook]

We should treat all players exactly the same. Duman or Fyfe it doesn't matter. If we think the decision is wrong, we should challenge it.

It's more about what you have to lose by challenging. In this case he was not offered any discount for an early guilty plea, and it's never going to be upgraded, so we lose absolutely nothing by challenging. The reason for not challenging usually is that simply the act of challenging often turns a 1 week suspension into 2 weeks.

VERDICT: Cut down to one week.

How bad did the strike by Dusty on DeBoer look, or Dangerfield on DeBoer? Both incapacitated DeBoer and both looked bad!

One of the worst look was Cunningham on Wilson. It took him out of play for many minutes, but he didn't leave the field (note to self in future ...). That was a full roundhouse swing like Gaff's (which "missed") and what they said they'd stamp out this year.

They had their chance to penalise that strike but didn't and now its a rabble!

 

[StingBitten]

Not a bad outcome all things considered.

VERDICT: Cut down to one week.

A fair result

Did they say that? I thought the whole basis of the system was damage caused, hence one of our players getting three weeks for a tackle.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Fair result considering, don’t think you could argue with the grading it now has of intentional and low impact.

It could have easily been graded careless (and IMO it would have been for a Danger, Fyfe, Dusty of the game).
