MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[EskimoPAFC]

My comment is more that I don't think that giving him 7 games is "going soft".

Yeah I was referring specifically to the downgrade from 8 to 7. Should have been 8. I probably could have made my post clearer to be fair.

8 should have been the minimum, but we all knew that was never going to happen.
Special circumstances

When i saw it i said 8 to 10 straight away. Knew they wouldnt do 10 so i thought 8 was reasonable when compared to what SPP got

AFL recommended 4 for Peps which he got
AFL recommenced 8 for Webster so i was content with that
The tribunal knocking 1 off and giving him 7 pisses me off no end. Why the **** does he get a game discount while Peps doesnt

While im pleased the next test for this came up so quick, we really need to see it when someone like Nick Daicos, Sam Walsh

or another "loved" player from a big 4 club does it. Realistically no one gives a shit about some bog average St Kilda player that no one would be able to recognise you if you walked past him in the street

The "good character" rubbish is just ridiculous. The tribunal are not deliberating about releasing Webster back into the community, they're looking at a dangerous incident on a football field. The person who did it should have no bearing on the punishment.

I would be happy if they used character to reduce suspensions in terms of prior record at the tribunal. But once again that was something that was not taken in to consideration with Sam… it was his first suspension I think. No bad record to speak of.

 

[Rising Power]

He's one of those nondescript players your'e surprised to find are still on a list - drafted in 2011, finally got to 150 games with his most recent appearance, 4 career goals, never polled a single Brownlow vote.

Genuinely never heard of the bloke til last weekend.

Same here, the only Webster I’ve heard of plays cricket for Tassie.

it was his first suspension I think

Second, at least. He was preventively suspended in an off-footy episode he was found not guilty.

I think your mixing your undersized african american males up
or was that part of the joke?

 

[bomberclifford]

was that part of the joke?

Yes. He's another Webster. He didn't really have a catch cry but Arnold did so I went with it.

Oh that consistency.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

"clumsy"

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Clumsy ..

Rioli was clumsy ..

That was a punch as clear as day..

One more for the port aboriginal tax

 

[Scodges]

A clumsy punch to the jaw, what does that even mean ?

Oh that consistency.

Is this the first test case for a big vic club?

It was enough of a punch to get an instant reaction from Neale. Normally he would flop but pissed him enough to throw one back.

I thought they changed the gradings this year. That accident punches when wrestling would get graded as intentional not careless.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong…

But it’s a big Victorian club and the reigning Brownlow medalist, so that would never happen.

Considering the general trend of the AFL trying to take a lot of roughness out of the game (some for the better, some not), the fact that completely unnecessary off the ball punches are still considered somewhat acceptable (a ~2.5k fine is nothing for the players given salaries) is bizarre.
I can't think of any other sport around the world where it is permitted - do any rugby fans know if it is as accepted in NRL/Union?

In Union, it’s not.

SPP shouldn't have bumped, he should have punched him in the face
