Browne Cops Three

[HBF]

Don't be stupid. Milburn knew the ball was free of the player, and was trying to inflict damage. That was obviously intentional and in keeping with Milburn's low-life character.

Nothing will ever make me change my mind about Milburn, and the low life thug that he is. He should count his lucky stars that he got a police escort out of PP that day.

 

[nsj91]

what a ****ing load of shit. if he doesnt get off on appeal then the game has gone to the dogs

 

[Bee]

An intentional tackle?

Oh god, what next.

The only thing intentional about Milburn's gutless act was to inflict damage! He is a low life thug and committed a maggot of an act.
Anyone who is proud of it is no better than he is!

Just reading some of the Adelaide supporters comments on the issue is really worth a lol.

There's a few smart members who talk common sense, but some of the others....

"Oh, my poor baby Porps got whacked real bad...we demand blood from the kid who happened to run into him which must have been deliberate because it was an opposition player from oppressive Victoria and it makes me feel better saying it!"

Okay, not a direct quote, just the gist of it.

Bad luck to the guy and I wish him well, but it's amazing how they are taking it.

Alpha i have to ask the question, why would you want to go there, there is enough of the scum on our own board without going looking for the slappers.

Man I went there yesterday to say congrats but read a few scummy comments about us. So I just thought I would say some nice things to them in return.

 

[Silvagnis]

Pathetic decision when Blight and Hudson defended Browne's collision as unavoidable.

The game is ****ing soft.

 

[Silvagnis]

According to *most* the mental giants on the Adelaide board it was intentional on Browne's behalf

Going by the appearance of their supporters who were at Saturday's game, a mental giant would be Homer Simpson on here.

Porplyzia was pushed into his path. Browne could neither avoid contact nor minimise the impact. He motioned forwards with his shoulder in a split second, most likely as a bracing reaction to protect himself from contact that was unexpected.

What a friggin joke.

Screwed all game by the umps.......but wait.......there's more.

I suppose Fev will cop a week for running into umpire CHEATING PRICK.........that was his name wasn't it?

 

[jo172]

Just out of curiousity, did Gia from the bulldogs get weeks for his hit on Kosi a couple of years back that left kosi with a crucked skull? Gia lined Kosi up and knocked him down...Porplyzia was knocked into brownes path and was hit....And before you crows morons jump on here saying browne hit him in the head and caused the damage, that is pure utter rubbish. He never made contact with the head. What caused the real damage was his head hitting the ground..At no point was head high contact made

If Gia got off for his hit I cant see how Browne(who has a clean record?) could get 3 for that. The sport is in real real trouble if he doesnt get off on appeal.

Well for a start Gia was laying a shepherd for a team mate who had the ball whereas Browne lined up a player off the ball when that player's team mate had the ball.

Completely different incidents.

And as for Browne's clean record, I think due to his inexperience it wasn't taken into account. I think a player has to have played a certain number of games before that is factored in.

Complete Rubbish and you know it. It was accidental. He bounced off Thornton's shoulder into Browne. It was plainly obvious on the replay.

How is my statement complete rubbish when it in no way contradicts what you've posted?

I was merely highlighting the differences between the Gia/Kozi bump and the Browne/Porpz bump (why do all these incidents involve blokes with hard names to spell?)

FWIW what I believe is that Thorton and Browne were trying to rough up his shoulders a bit and definitely did not intend to hit him high.

 

[iRemember87]

This is probably the worst decision made by the MRP this year.

Firstly THorton pushed Porps, Brown just happen to be there and braced himself for unexpected contact.

Channel 10 had an angle on the impact and Porps fell into Brown's shoulder, nothing more nothing less, no motion from Brown to force impact or cause impact.

All the commentators said, the impact was unavoidable and just part of the game.

I think the MRP feel they need to show they are taking action, plus reacting to media and the news that Porps has brain brusing which for mine probably came from hitting the ground.

I thought Heath Ledger played a good Joker, but gee the MRP would win all Oscars!!!

 

[OZBomb]

I agree it was severe impact and high contact but there was no way it was negligent. Absolutely accidental. He didn't have time to make a conscious decision to strike his head with his opposite shoulder.

Go back to your own borard fool.

If you believe that Browne and Thorton were trying rough him up to hurt his shoulder then you are stupid.

Watch the footage and you'll see they were running, Thorton pushed Porps and he fell into Brown, at no stage did Browne line Porps up as you claim.

You are simply claiming the charge is right cause it was your player that got hit.

you don't have to make a spur-of-the-moment conscious decision to injure someone when you've been having wet dreams about it all week.

let's not get caught up in the last minute shrugs of shoulders and jerks of heads, he was in that position because he chose, very deliberately, to be.

Probably the best post I've read on BF about this so far.

For all the crying "He hit my boy" and "How soft is this game" the MRP can only adjudicate using the rules in place.

So without any bias in reality we can all agree that

a) The hit was high. - There is just no doubt about this, remember, intention does not come into this.

b) There was high to severe impact - Again bruising of the brain, has to mean a large amount of impact. Again, intention cannot be taken into account.

This just leaves the MRP to decide whether it was intentional, reckless, negligent or accidental.

IMHO, depending on the mood of the MRP and the tribunal it could be called at any of the last three.

But as you can see from points a and b under the current rules Browne just cannot walk scott free.

So be angry at the rules, hardly the MRP's fault.

Can we burn this scumbag a shade of red? And make sure he understands it was done intentionally please.

Go back to your own borard fool.

If you believe that Browne and Thorton were trying rough him up to hurt his shoulder then you are stupid..

Were you at the game?

If you were you would have seen Throton and others punching and bumping Porpz shoulders for the whole first two quarters behind plays similar to Brisbane on Riedwvolt a few years back. Nothing illegal about this but certainly shows the instructions and intent were there to rough up Porplyzia when possible.

This is a fair if somewhat immoral tactic.

Thorton, was just doing his job as a defender when the incident in question happened. However Browne left his man who was running into the forward 50 when Adelaide had the ball and would have been able to take an uncostested mark in order to bump Porplyzia.

Now you're telling me that Browne had no intent to test out Porplyzia's shoulder and just simply couldn't be bothered to man up on Mackay who was streaming on his own inside 50?

But hey, I'm the stupid one

Watch the footage and you'll see they were running, Thorton pushed Porps and he fell into Brown, at no stage did Browne line Porps up as you claim..

Wrong, Browne was chasing Mackay and diverged path in order to bump Porplyzia, this is my definition of lining up, but it may not be yours. I suggest you watch the footage again.

You are simply claiming the charge is right cause it was your player that got hit.

Maybe, but can you honestly use the objective criteria used by the MRP to establish any other result?

 

[WOW Jones]

Big BAD Stephen Browne , i think well start calling him.

I think nowadays once the opposition says there is an injury from a collision the player within 5 metres will be cited and suspended... just so the mums out there will let little Johnny play football....

Im thinking of starting a rebel league in India called the IFL ... one umpire , one camera and no XXXXen Match Review Panel ...

W"O"W

Yep well broken down there. And to be honest, the lack of clarity on the difference between intentional, reckless, negligent or accidental is ridiculos.
