MRP / Trib. Hawkins 2 weeks, Duncan 1

[FredLeDeux]

Interesting that both suspensions were based on video evidence and a medical report from the Sydney Swans football club.

They must have thrown Duncan under a bus.

Exactly, this is the only explanation; Papley has tried to defend his own reputation, and the doctor has taken his assessment at face value.

What a capitulation Friday night is turning out to be.

Not Friday night - the last 9 days.

Cockatoo injury
Dangerfield suspension
Selwood injury
Hawkins and Duncan suspensions

Worst 9 days we've had in a long time.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Lol haha either incompetent or corrupt.

We should en masse spam email/call the club and demand answers if they dont challenge these rubbish bans.

 

[catpremier 07]

Corrupt. **** this sport

Not when you read the MRP report you can't accept the Hawkins verdict

Tom Hawkins, Geelong Cats, has been charged with striking Dane Rampe, Sydney Swans, during the second quarter of the Round 20 match between the Geelong Cats and the Sydney Swans played at Domain Stadium on Friday August 4, 2017.

In summary, due to a previous poor record, his two-match sanction is increased by one further game to three matches and he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Sydney Swans Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional contact with low impact to the face. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. A poor record over the last two seasons increases the penalty by one-game to a three-match sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a two-match sanction.

Mitch Duncan, Geelong Cats, has been charged with a striking Tom Papley, Sydney Swans, during the fourth quarter of the Round 20 match between the Geelong Cats and the Sydney Swans, played at Domain Stadium on Friday August 4, 2017.

In summary he can accept one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Sydney Swans Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with medium impact to the body. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a one-match sanction.

Where is gods name did Hawkins hit Rampe's face? How is it worth 3 games?

Hmmmmm there is surely some grounds there for an appeal.

Hawkins did not hit Rampe's face and Duncan's contact was definitely not medium impact.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Duncan is risking 2 weeks by challenging.

Our season is dead if the bans stand challenge both

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Lol duncan gets same as mumford stupid much?

Can anyone google an OPSM ad and send it to the MRP?

 

[Munich]

****ing disgrace.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

It's a harsh penalty for Duncan. Hawkins needs to learn that he has to keep his fists away from players' faces. He's had this lesson multiple times now.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Not Friday night - the last 9 days.

Cockatoo injury
Dangerfield suspension
Selwood injury
Hawkins and Duncan suspensions

Worst 9 days we've had in a long time.

It's put a big fat line through our 2017 that's for sure.

What a balls up.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

So, Mumford gets the same as Duncan! Think about that. A love tap and a head shot. I give up.

It's seriously a bloody joke. **** this shit!

 

[Boxhead_31]

You could be right, but i thought the discount wad based on points meaning sometimes you dont get suspended for an extra game ?

Points no longer are totaled in the MRP

 

[Cezz The Catter]

2017 has turned to ashes honestly, lets hope for a good finals campaign.

Where is gods name did Hawkins hit Rampe's face? How is it worth 3 games?

It may be semantics but there's your argument there.
I recall J Brown got off striking because he did it at quarter time and therefore was deemed out of play.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Hmmmmm there is surely some grounds there for an appeal.

Hawkins did not hit Rampe's face and Duncan's contact was definitely not medium impact.

And the game wasn't played at Domain Stadium

Harsh penalty you kidding?

Its afl officials who should be sacked thats what it is.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Exactly, this is the only explanation; Papley has tried to defend his own reputation, and the doctor has taken his assessment at face value.

They also want to take our top 4 spot.

 

[Podsnap]

We should find them both for stupidity

 

[fpm84]

And the game wasn't played at Domain Stadium

Good pickup!

"Your honour, here is video evidence suggesting neither Tom Hawkins nor Mitch Duncan was nowhere near Domain Stadium on Friday night. I rest my case."

Plus we have a ready made ground for appeal in that if we can't rely on the MRP to understand where the game was played how can we trust their deliberation finding?

The medical report from the Swans is 100% to make sure that Papley couldn't get done for staging...

 

[SkittleCats]

Anyone know what happens if we challenge and lose ?

Duncan gets 2 and Hawkins gets 3 weeks.

 

[Turbocat]

Disgusted but not surprised... the AFL are corrupting the system. Does anyone have any confidence in it anymore? But Geelong will do nothing but roll over like a puppy ..what can they do I guess but kowtow to star chamber central.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Makes it an open and shut case

 

[CatTricks]

@officialcats can you tell the powers that be to grow a set of nads and challenge this crap?

 

[CatFan79]

Duncan medium impact? Go f&^% yourselves AFL
