    Lewis On Lycett

    No it wasn't I'm not sure why I should be surprised a Hawthorn player escapes so much as a fine for a clenched fist to the jaw

    Fyfe trip to cost him the 2015 Brownlow?

    Would love to see him get a week for the lulz but it's hard to see that being a week if you're looking at it objectively. Fine seems right

    Yarran gone for weeks

    Was listening on the radio and Gerard whately didn't hold back on how bad it was When I saw the footage it didn't remotley resemble what he described

    Reece Conca: My word that was bad...

    Some blame lies with Fremantle. Fyfe wanted to challenge but the club talked him out of it I believe. May very well have had it overturned by the tribunal Still a terrible decision that may very well bite the afl fair and square on the arse come brownlow night. Worse than Chris grants report...

    Reece Conca: My word that was bad...

    Fyfe was deadset unlucky. I don't think there's any footy fans that think that was a fair penalty

    Reece Conca: My word that was bad...

    The lack of any real force with the elbow and no injury to smith meant there was always a possibility of conca escaping a lengthy suspension no matter how bad it looked.

    Reece Conca: My word that was bad...

    Not king hits. Probably better described as cheap shots especially concas Campaigner is the swear filter substitute for c*nt

    Reece Conca: My word that was bad...

    Conca is fortunate that it didn't seem to cause any significant damage which will be the one thing that might save him from a significant suspension. Really bad look running after smith like that as he was going off the ground but was out of character for conca, just a horrible brain fart

    Ballantyne sent straight to the Tribunal

    Good news. Decision makes sense although I'm not certain why the MRP couldn't have made a no case to answer decision yesterday

    Buddys bump

    Based on what has gone before (fyfe in particular), Buddy was lucky.

    Ballantyne sent straight to the Tribunal

    They do. It's the one's wearing red and white. /conspiracy theory

    Ballantyne sent straight to the Tribunal

    **** me up the arse with a rusty stake if that deserves a suspension. Good clean bump.

    Gary Ablett could be suspended by the MRP

    Fair to say he's lucky but I'm glad that it wasn't considered suspendable

    Gary Ablett could be suspended by the MRP

    Agreed that's what should happen but these guys don't live in a vaccuum and would be acutely aware of the ramifications of their decision. It's not a decision I would enjoy making especially since it is borderline imo

    Gary Ablett could be suspended by the MRP

    Sympathize with the MRP here. They're basically deciding whether ablett will get the brownlow based on a rather innocuous elbow, but an act which is no softer than other players have been suspended for. If he gets off there will plenty of people saying ablett got special treatment I'd be happy...

    Hannebery's gotta go

    If it's a loose ball and you are making a fair contest to win possession then you'll likely be ok provided the ball remains your focus. That seems reasonable to me Likewise if another player has possession or if he doesn't have the ball and isn't contesting it, if you elect to bump then you...

    Hannebery's gotta go

    Agreed it wasn't a good look and my first thoughts as it happened were oh shit he's in trouble for that and I hope Hurley isn't badly hurt. Then bemusement as to why there wasn't a free kick After watching the replay I believed hannebery didn't really do much wrong and it looked worse than...

    Hannebery's gotta go

    I don't know the analogy does show the dangers of leading with your head

    Hannebery's gotta go

    In days gone by there were acts by players designed to deliberately hurt another player and instances where the focus shifted from the ball to the player. Over time these have been quite rightly legislated out of the game to the point they are now rare and are punished when they do occur. The...

    Hannebery's gotta go

    What about Hurley dropping his head down lower in the split second before impact ?

    Hannebery's gotta go

    I don't think there's anything clear about it. Both players had options I suppose but with the speed of our game now collisions are inevitable when two players are approaching a loose ball from different directions and I think we are asking too much of players to make a split second analysis of...

    Hannebery's gotta go

    Correct me if I'm wrong but are you comparing what hannebery did to that hit from Magro?

    Hannebery's gotta go

    Would love somebody to tell me what hannebery should have done instead that still involved contesting a loose ball Should have been a free kick but I don't think he should be suspended. There was certainly nothing malicious in it

    Umpiring - the state of the nation

    The bigger problem is how they are being instructed to umpire - I think most of us would be surprised at the number of decisions/non-decisions that we as supporters would think to be errors that the powers that be would consider to be correct

    Nathan Fyfe Suspended

    So. Not perfect then:p Harsh penalty tbh. Doesn't look like anything in it As for smothering as a viable alternative what if Fyfe throws himself across Rischatelli's leg trying to smother the ball and breaks his leg instead. Do the MRP then penalise him and say he could have opted to bump...

    MRP Round 1 - Week 1

    Should have / could have been a free kick sure but I hope you're not seriously suggesting that mistiming a leap in a marking contest should be considered reportable

    MRP Round 1 - Week 1

    Yeah wellingham was lucky. Thought he'd get a week for that The only thing I can think of that saved him was that he only just clipped him and so didn't do any damage. Could have been much worse.

    Illegal rushed behind - when was the last time this was paid?

    Stupid rule brought in as a knee jerk reaction to the 2008 grand final which in itself was a tactic borne from a rule change - not having to wait for the goal umpire to wave his flags before kicking in. Stuck deep in defense, concede a point so you get an unpressured clearance from defensive 50...
