    MRP / Trib. Harley Reid - How many weeks?

    Reid is trying to do the tough guy thing at every opportunity and it affects his game. He may grow out of it, but some guys are just hotheads. He played a lot on the side where I was sitting at the Gabba and it is noticeable that almost every engagement with opposition players involves him...

    Bontempelli's hit on Haynes

    This decision is the epitome of the dubious nature of the MRO system. It is open to so many variables that can be applied at the discretion or whim of the MRO and yet has all the hallmarks of a justice system at risk of bias, allegations of preferential treatment and good old-fashioned...

The one I struggle to accept is the Hannebery one though. The rule was brought in for exactly this reason, to protect the knees...

    I think that from a psychological point of view there might be some instances of confirmation bias from the umpires that can influence results. I The bias is not related to teams directly, but rather individual players. In fact, I actually think there is probably not any evidence of umpires...

    EVERY AFL player should go on strike if Steve Johnson is suspended

    Arguable about how much head contact there was, but he chose to make the contact that way and takes the chance that it goes wrong. Don't want the suspension risk then don't bump like that.

    15 metres

    Perhaps the umpires could do a little practice in measuring out 50 meter penalties while they are training as well. I swear I have seen 50's that look about 30 metres and others that look closer to 70 metres.
