Rules AFL looking to ban jumper punches

Cunnington should have got a week suspension for an intentional strike that caused his opponent to leave play and spend time on the bench incapacitated. He's a weak dog. Disgraceful precedent set by the AFL and MRP here.
He intentionally punched his opponent in the stomach. His opponent then left the ground and was dry reaching on the bench for a few minutes. Ridiculous it's not a suspension, but other things like tackles that swing with too much force are suspension worthy. F*cking MRP!

They can change the rules whenever they like but that needs to be communicated to the clubs. What if they just decided to start banning players for umpire contact again without telling anyone? Everyone would be up in arms about the inconsistency.
The Cunnington decision was 100% consistent with how they have adjudicated gut punches this season. I think that should change and players should be banned but it needs be communicated to the clubs BEFORE they start doing it.

What a load of s**t.
Vince had to leave the ground for an extended period not to mention took his time getting off as well leaving Melbourne a man down.

No way. The clubs should just have to up with whatever they have to deal with. Giving them inside information is like allowing the tail to wag the dog.

They do it every week? The AFL sends memos out about rule interpretations all the time. This would be no different.

How would you know? Are you Bernie Vince? if you aren't prepared for a punch in that part of the body you're basically getting hit straight in your internal organs. Vince was dry retching on the bench.

He deserved what he got. Perfect example of a soft campaigner who's happy to be a cowardly scrag all day but can't handle a little reminder of consequences for his actions.

He shat himself proper when cunnington stepped up to him..
He's also sending the wrong message to Melbourne's youngsters in regards to what proper tough footy requires.
I hope for the sake of Melbourne's development they never play him in the seniors again, because sure enough there were Melbourne kids mimicking his bullshit yesterday.

Same way the MRP know the "impact" based on the result - they make, at best, an educated guess.

Can't tell if a troll or just not very bright
Most mma fighters would be happy with that ground and pound from salem timed it perfectly salem lucky it was more forearm and not more of an elbow otherwise he would have got 3 as higgins would have been opened uo nicely
What are we gonna start calling a jumper punch that is punishable by mrp? In plenty of push and shoves there are a shitload that a re thrown which arent highlighted or are we gonna just focus on ones likes cotchins? I dont wanna see blokes getting rubbed out when a little wrestle breaks out and blokes are giving little cheapies to me even cotchins isnt that big yeah it looks bad but hardly that damaging
Bernie Vince hammed that up an absolute ******* treat. He felt silly for giving away the free kick and so when he got a little tummy tap decided to go down like he was shot to try and get a reversal. If anything Vince should have been looked at for staging/acting.

Maybe if Bernie focussed on playing the ball rather than the man, he wouldn't have had his soul knocked out of him.
Vince embarrassed himself and the MFC yesterday.
Scragged and threw cheap shots all day and twice went down like he had been shot. He tried to rip Cunnington's head off, Cunnington stood his ground and Vince tried to act tough again and then took a dive a soccer player would have been proud of. Then followed up pretending he was retching on the bench. One of the most humiliating things I've seen on the footy field.

Im guessing lot of people in here never played footy before or been hit in the stomach, if you are not ready for the punch it doesn't take much at all for you to go down and stay down.
As far salem he shouldn't have done it but it was hardly forceful should have been a fine and nothing more.

We have.............For some reason they saw fit to suspend Hawkins for 2 for a jumper punch, yet have never suspended anyone for the 100s of others that have been thrown!
Saw some from Hodge, but of course he gets off, he is a good bloke!
Both are consistent for this year, which we should praise the AFL. Thompson got similar against Geelong this year on Dangerfield as Salem and there has been plenty of punches let off this year.
Not sure there that consistent Thompson was more forceful than the Salem one, and wasn't it just few weeks back when Fyfe threw his elbow back and hit someone in the head and he didn't get any weeks.
