MRP / Trib. 2022 MRO Discussion

[Goldfish]

"Woods (AFL): There is clearly a risk of concussion or serious neck injury or something of that nature in an action of this kind. The guidelines are very much concerned with the potential to cause injury and rightly so."

So now you are unable to tackle someone to the ground...

 

[UseR2006]

Get the padding boys, gotta make this the NFL.

 

[Keys]

Thats an impressive legal position

's tackle on Sam Wicks from R22, 2021, which resulted in careless conduct, low impact and high contact.
Woods says Kelly exerts "significantly more force" in his incident."

May want to roll out the Cotchin footage FROM THE SAME ROUND THIS YEAR ID**T.

EDIT: that resulted in a fine

Robbie Tarrant, North Melbourne, has been charged with Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackle) against Sam Wicks, Sydney Swans, during the first quarter of the Round 22 match between North Melbourne and the Sydney Swans, played at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, August 13, 2021.

In summary, he can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Contact, Low Impact, High Contact. The incident was classified as a $3000 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

What a joke of a league.

 

[UseR2006]

So essentially the AFLs position on this was "he used a bit of force in the tackle and we didn't like that, could of bruised the bloke".

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

No wonder we corral, whenever we tackle we end up at the tribunal.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Have they been out deliberating for 20 minutes?

 

[Goldfish]

Aaaand he gets a week. The game is stuffed.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Kelly clearly unlucky to be cited here. Berry’s act of getting a disposal away was a contributing factor to the whole situation. It completely changed the centres of balance of the two players mid tackle and made the whole thing look worse than it was.

should be thrown out.

 

[UseR2006]

Welp, wrap up the game. we're done.
AFL is officially beyond cooked. it's a rotting piece of meat.

 

[squashface]

Sorry how does Cotchin get cleared but Kelly is suspended?

 

[Smeg Head]

Need to take this one further, absolute disgrace and we will keep getting done over by these muppets.

 

[UseR2006]

"Tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson said the potential to cause injury was "significant" as Berry was slung 360 degree with his feet off the ground and the arm that could have protected his fall pinned."

So you have to pin the "correct" arm in order for it not to be dangerous?
What a piss-weak excuse for a decision.

I'd appeal again 100%

 

[Keys]

Sorry how does Cotchin get cleared but Kelly is suspended?

 

[joeyavalanche]

What a load of shit.
Clear as day to see how the Adelaide player contributes to this.

“Potential to do significant injury”
Pickett for Richmond tapped Bailey in the chest and he coughed up blood and went to hospital? If we’re penalising potential injuries not basing on force isn’t this worse?

Based on this Cripps about to get 8 weeks.

Let’s see how the rules magically change for his case now

Having watched both for the first time today, The Cotchin sling is around half the speed of the Kelly one. Looks really sedate by comparison.

What a crock of shit.

the captain?
AFL lawyer : Ohm though it was the Cripps from WCE, we withdraw the charge he is free to play.

If it doesnt get overturned again, should just go on strike over the potential to cause injury by playing.

 

[The Dodger]

Ahhh the potential to injure card...unlucky for Kelly the AFL played that one this time.
I'm assuming it didn't get played in the Cotchin one otherwise he wouldn't have just got a fine.
How do 2 similar acts 1 has the potential to injure and the other doesn't?

 

[timeforanother22]

If it doesnt get overturned again, should just go on strike over the potential to cause injury by playing.

TBH I wouldn’t mind forfeiting the next two games.

 

[The Dodger]

"His feet off the ground" FFs he lifted his planted foot to kick the footy.

Tribunal chairman needs to take a refresher in geometry if he thinks Berry was slung 360 degrees

Yeah just had a look. Cotchins tackle was slow. As annoying as it is Kelly did tackle him fast and hard at 360 degrees. It's a 50/50 for suspension.

Doesn't really matter anyhow given its the last 2 games. These last two weeks I have absolutely 0% interest. No Kelly, No Culley, No Kennedy. Nothing to play for. Playing two finals contenders that have everything to play for. Both games will be a blood bath. Just try not to lose by a record margin is the goal
