MRP / Trib. Gazza cleared (again)

[Turbocat]

Cleared or not..he needs to have a think on what would have happened if it had been just a tad harder..

 

[Boxhead_31]

Not sure if anyone can answer this; I know if a player is suspended during the season they are ineligible for the Brownlow - is that the same for the Rising Star award also, where a suspension means they are ineligible?

Walsh was fined for contact with an umpire - just curious what would happened if a youngster was suspended though and impact on eligibility

Has to miss a game to be ineligible same as Brownlow

I'd be pretty confident that it's been mentioned

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

He got off, lol, let the meltdowns begin.

 

[Turbocat]

The opposition melts on this will be priceless.

As rarity is what instils value ..id say their melts will be worth about $1.99. As common as muck.

Grant's was a straightforward good old-fashioned 2-week smack in the gob.

Yep feel like Grant's suspension was there. McKernan's in 1996 was the ridiculous one. Barnesy said it was nothing and has said so since and did everything he could to get him off. Still got a week.

True, but so much that went on in that era would have copped many, many weeks in today's game.

if the '89 GF had been tied, between injury and suspension, only the umpires would have been available for the replay.

 

[bulletproof]

This was even less interesting and less suspenseful than the previous week. Never a chance of missing a game.

Has Dermie thrown a tantrum yet ?

 

[Down at K Park]

Good call. Was clearly not a hard enough hit considering wright got straight up and played on.

 

[you pick one]

Has Dermie thrown a tantrum yet ?

He'd be the only bloody dill that thought it was worth a week.

 

[Ratcat]

Wow! that's a turn up for a player in the hoops

 

[darrenmorgan]

Crikey, the socials are in full meltdown about this.

Agree! London to a brick the powers that be will be telling him to be more disciplined.

 

[Grimoz]

Surprised he didnt get a week but wont complain, now will he get that rest this week? How Fyfe got off is beyond me, people should be melting about that not the 50/50 Gaz one.

 

[Strange Cat]

Juicy melts on the Norf board

Somehow they are saying Durdin bump is an exact copy of Ablett clumsy block

Which is strange considering how concussed Rohan is...and well they were different actions

That rule is crap, Durdins hit was a fair hit and was just an accidental head clash, feel sorry for the bloke.

Yes but again if you choose to bump and get the head accidental or otherwise you risk a suspension

Rohan concussion made the result a forgone conclusion

The Fyfe one is a disgrace. He's nearly as protected as there's ever been in this game. Marginally behind Cotchin.

 

[Seeds]

Fixed that for you.

I was wrong twice. I didnt think fyfe would get off either.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We’ve already seen a good melt lol

 

[AM]

What! there wasn't a tackle option as the players had disposed of the ball,the team thing then is to impeded that player from backing up in that play something they train at doing every week. Coincidence the forearm slipped high two week in a row.

He attempted to impede the give-n-get. Which is what players are instructed to do. He could have achieved that by throwing out his left arm rather than raising his right elbow and turning his body.There's a certain risk when you use one arm to take most of the force of an opposition player in full flight coming at you. And when you've had two shoulder recos it may just possibly, perhaps, maybe , could be on his mind.

 

[Tony Barber]

I thought he was gone immediately.

I'm really surprised by the talk that the guy who bumped Rohan will get two.
Suggests I'll get both wrong.

Yup. I'm good at this.
