Has The Giesch called him to congratulate him on his restraint?

The fact that Thompson copped most of the blame for that is another red cross against our toothless media department.

Wonder what would have happened if Shiel raised his knee as a reflex reaction,and old mate Trent KO'd himself in the process.
I like that shiel posted this. Prior to this it appeared as though the media were trotting out the "shiel wants cotchin to get off, nothing in it, just an accident" narative. I'd be pissed. Shiel misses the brownlow, mad monday celebrations + could have drawn out effects. All the attention has been on getting cotchin off and some have had the gall to question shiel's attack on the ball.

One-man MRP in sweeping changes for 2018

CHARGES from Thursday and Friday night games will be laid within 24 hours and players launching AFL Tribunal challenges will no longer risk automatic longer bans under sweeping changes to the Match Review Panel to take effect next season.

Long-time MRP member Michael Christian will become the sole match review official under the new system, replacing the panels of former players previously used.

Where the MRP has until now been notionally independent from the AFL, Christian will report directly to AFL football operations manager Steve Hocking.

The AFL has also scrapped the one-match discount previously offered for early pleas, with clubs that elect to challenge MRP decisions now risking a $10,000 cost that will be included in their soft football department cap.

In other key changes:

  • Three low-level offences in a season will no longer result in an automatic one-match suspension, with a fine now applicable for the third offence.
  • Cases referred directly to the Tribunal will attract at least a three-week suspension save for exceptional circumstances.
  • Staging will now attract a fine for a first offence.
  • Automatic loading for players with bad records has been scrapped.
  • Fines for low-level offences will increase from $2000 to $3000 for first offences, $3000 to $5000 for second offences and $5000 to $8000 for third offences.
Hocking said the MRP changes were primarily designed to ensure greater consistency with its decision-making.

"Through the recent 2017 season there was regular public uncertainty on the rationale for key decisions, with only a small number of incidents receiving an explanation or assessed via a full open examination at the AFL Tribunal, " Hocking said.

Christian will relinquish all of his media roles from 2018, but in his new role will regularly be made available to the media to discuss MRP decisions.

Hocking said the heavy focus on Thursday and Friday night matches required the AFL to review those games the following day, which would be done on a trial basis in 2017.

The AFL footy boss said the disincentive to challenge charges at the Tribunal because of the risk of longer suspensions and the impact of bad record loading on players had been among clubs' chief concerns about the previous system.

Hocking expects more Tribunal challenges under the new system, but believes the $10,000 cost for failed appeals will ensure there will be no repeat of the marathon Tribunal hearings that regularly occurred before the advent of the MRP.

It is also hoped the MRP changes will prompt players to show greater sportsmanship on the field, with Hocking saying some of the lower-level offences that had crept into the AFL in recent years were "a blight on the game".

The AFL wishes to advise the Match Review of Week One of the JLT Community Series and Round Four of the NAB AFLW has been completed. Michael Christian will be available to interested media this afternoon at AFL House at 3.30pm.

Charges Laid:

Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, has been charged with misconduct against Ben Jacobs, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of Saturday’s JLT match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at Hobart on Saturday February 24, 2018.

In summary, he can accept a $1500 sanction without appearing before the Tribunal.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as misconduct. A first offence for misconduct draws a $2500 sanction at the discretion of the Match Review Officer. The player can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.

Robbie Gray, Port Adelaide, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Jeremy McGovern, West Coast, during the first quarter of Sunday’s JLT match between Port Adelaide and West Coast, played at Leederville on Sunday February 25, 2018.

In summary, the offence is judged as a one-match sanction without appearing before the Tribunal.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the West Coast Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction. Under changes made to the MRP for the AFL competition in 2018, the player can appear before the Tribunal to challenge the one-match sanction, at a cost of $10,000 to cover the hearing. The sanction cannot be increased if the player is unsuccessful at the Tribunal, but the Tribunal costs would not be returned if the hearing was unsuccessful.

Paddy Ryder, Port Adelaide, has been charged with striking Andrew Gaff, West Coast, during the first quarter of Sunday’s JLT match between Port Adelaide and West Coast, played at Leederville on Sunday February 25, 2018.

In summary, he can accept a $2000 sanction without appearing before the Tribunal.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the West Coast Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. As low-level classifiable first offence, the incident was classified as a $3000 sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a $2000 sanction.

So Port Adelaide must be the chosen ones this year. Congratulations on the 2018 premiership Port :thumbsu:

Not gunna happen G.R You know that.
Going for ball. Opposition should have expected head high contact and prepared for it. All the usual AFL tripe.
We will see the one man mrp system do its thing. He clearly braces to make contact.
