Gary Ablett cleared contact Liam Picken after MRP investigation - contact made to the body below force that required for a report.

Been Cleared. Gary Ablett cleared contact Liam Picken after MRP investigation - contact made to the body below force that required for a report.
No surprises really.

Good to see Cooney cleared as well, was heavy contact, but he was nearly sliding on the ground as well.

Smart decisions.

 

[Jaeger]

As expected.

And the circus of the MRP puts on another laughing act.

A good result, maybe not the right one.

 

[xamol]

Shocked!!!

 

[KENT2008]

wow they even went as far as saying it was body contact not head?

Golden boy gets his **** kissed by the corrupt MRP

"Insufficient Force" is so beautifully nebulous. The MRP must love it.

Rockliff should have his Brownlow eligibility reinstated.

Hardly a surprise he was cleared. No way the AFL **** the suns over when they are top 4

 

[carlton2dabone]

They had to as that was the only way they could pave the way for Ablett to stay in the brownlow race.

If they admitted it was head contact then they would have had to grade it as intentional because it was behind play.

I guess the fact that Picken's head snapped back as soon as contact was made means nothing in the MRP's eyes.

 

[Hollow Knight]

"Insufficient Force" is such a nebulous escape clause for the MRP.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

Good result!

 

[SuperSub17]

There is no way he made body contact.

 

[TradeDraft]

No Surprise - The AFL would of made sure of that

 

[Air_Chester]

Good to see the spirit of Bigfooty overreaction is alive and well, if nothing else.

 

[The BIG X]

The AFL aren't going to suspend the bloke whose a mile in front of the brownlow count

Picken will say he didn't even make contact and that'll be that

Then later Picken will be interviewed by Mike Sheahen and say it did make high contact and Picken will cop a 1 week penalty for lying

 

[Keys]

Fair to say he's lucky but I'm glad that it wasn't considered suspendable

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Insufficient force lol - it's all about damage done according the MRP

 

[Runk]

Just another 'derp' moment by the MRP.

>"the game's gone soft"
>"ablett should have been suspended"

yeah nah fairo

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lets be honest here do you want the guy ineligible for the Brownlow if he is 20 votes ahead!

 

[ManOfClay]

No issues with him being cleared, but it is inconsistent with some other recent cases. Consistent with the Judd on Pav decision, even though that one was the wrong decision. If that was unsufficient force then Gaz's definitely was.

Still respect Gaz as a player but his conduct yesterday was ridiculous. Whingeing about being double teamed by guys not looking for the footy, but gives a cheap little elbow.

**** this golden boy gets away **** you afl if it anybody else instant week ban
