MRP / Trib. Conca Gets 2 Weeks

[rfctigerarmy]

Should've been more was an absolute dog act. You don't whack a bloke from behind. Ever. Lost a fair bit of respect with that.

I agree. Very lucky fella.

 

[no orange peeler]

i'm outraged that Johnson got off. that knee to the chest could have sent Thompson rib into his lung. Bloke could have died. (shakes fist in disgust)

Rammbo- you found your way back home !

It's been a long road out on my own .

Wonder if he'll just be a bit quieter now or if his head will just explode because he's now part of a story?

 

[DrMike]

Interesting, and fair enough, as long as it's applied consistently

The incident was graded medium impact instead of low, Evans said, because the MRP took potential for serious injury into account.

"Normally if they were going to upgrade impact they would only upgrade it by one category, and if they felt that didn't produce an appropriate penalty then they could send it direct to the Tribunal as a result," he said.

"Whether you're thinking it's a three-week base penalty or a four-week base penalty, most people would be in that category.

"I was comfortable with what they assessed there and I thought it was around about a three-week penalty."

dog act by conca. nothing more nothing else

 

[partycorolla]

Spoke to Reece Sunday night couple hours after the Coburg VFL game.
Said he had a massive brain fade after the guy hit him below the sternum behind the play.He was down about his poor act.
Any one that knows the young kid would know he hasn't got a mean streak in him.
This is why the penalty was less than some on here expected due to his lovely nature and good record. I think both kids involved in the incident stated the truth when contacted and Reece was given the benefit of the doubt.
My pensioner mate TigerM...... told him he was disappointed in him for hitting a bloke from behind.Reece agreed that it was poor and stupid so we left it at that.
I was disappointed also and he was lucky to get the 3 down to 2, but he will do his time and be an even better person after the event.

He had neither a good nor bad record.... it's all in the MRP statement. They actually upgraded the impact from low to medium to ensure he didn't get a 2 week penalty which would have been reduced to 1 with an early guilty plea....

Yeah but he was lucky not to get 4 IMO
His sheet was clean also

That's such bullshit that they changed the grading because it could cause injury. Lmfao another joke that is the mrp

It shows the system is wrong and unfairly applied across the board. I posted this in the MRP thread:


"Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Richmond Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One Offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing six-year good record, reducing the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points towards his future record."

So one player goes out of the game concussed, medium impact. Offender gets off with a reprimand.

The other has a sore head and plays on, medium impact. Offender gets 2 weeks.

Both were from behind. I'm not arguing for Conca's actions, just consistency by the MRP.

 

[Coxy_]

Should have knocked him out.

 

[kozi]

He should have just run up and given a little shove in the back, waited for him to turn around then grab him by the collar and give him a few jumper punches to the jaw.

Would not have been suspended and would have got more bang for his buck with a few nice fists instead of just 1 medium force strike that looked a lot worse than it really was (just because it was a hit from behind).

 

[partycorolla]

What do you mean clean? He got pinged in 2011 during the pre-season.... that is on his record which contributed to the neither existing good or bad record. If he'd no record he'd have a clean record.....

 

[TigerImposter]

It was nothing buddy. You're getting worked up over a 3.5 yr old incident

One is in the play, in fact so very close to in the contest, while the other was literally 100 metres away, almost off the ground. Gibson got 1 week which was reduced down due to his good record over 6 years and an early guilty plea.... It's about right, 1 week versus 2.....

However it does show flaws in the system.... one bloke concussed (medium impact), another bloke gets a massage (medium impact).... poor by the MRP. If they couldn't grade it properly, they should have sent it to the tribunal....

No, he got 3 or 4 weeks from memory.... which contributes to his record.... as the MRP statement said. It's not for debate... it's a fact. His original suspension from that NAB cup game however, is debatable.... changed direction and whack, gets weeks....

edit: Do you mean me, or the Gibson one?

Sorry I messed up I forgot the Nab cup one was 4 weeks
It's been so long I forgot what the act was
I will ask him next time we cross paths

He pretty much changed direction to block the run of a North bloke from what I remember and the North bloke had no idea, didn't see him and sort of knocked himself out on Conca's shoulder from what I remember with my slightly biased RFC memory!

So do what you want in play is the message being sent. Not attacking you, but just highlighting the flaw in the argument, which many people are making.
