MRP / Trib. Is Fyfe in trouble?

[Spoken4]

Feels like we are stuck in a revolving door with this question coming up a lot this year.

He is on two strikes due to fines and one more he is gone.

Thoughts?

I didn't even think it was reportable offense at all. Commentators and journalists getting a bit too excited at the prospect of him being rubbed out.

Don't reckon, he was going the ball and went low , if he gets a week hodge should get 4 or its a setup

 

[gaskin]

Nope. Was making a realistic attempt to get the ball and to me it didn't even look like it got him high.

 

[YelloMit]

Nah, he's fine. It looks sorta bad at normal speed, but when they showed the replay shortly after, it was clear that there was nothing in it.

 

[Bicco]

No

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Nothing in it. 2 weeks

 

[Jetau]

Initially I thought 'he's gone', but on replay he appears to miss the opponent's head entirely.

 

[Spoken4]

Anyone want to do a slow motion replay or some still images?

EDIT - I've just watched the incident in slow motion and Fyfe misses his head altogether. Body on body contact.

 

[Tas]

You would hope not, he was going for the ball, wasn't going for a bump. He got Jacobs high and he got the free kick. Should be it.

 

[Smoocher]

I thought Ross Lyon gave a fairly good explanation of the rule in his presser. Would be unlucky to be found guilty.

He got him in the shoulder and Jacob's threw his head back as if he had been shot. Not even worth a free kick. At no point did Fyfe make contact high and he only had eyes for the ball.

was a free kick at most. Should not go for this

Hi guys, hope you don't mind the intrusion.

Just wanted to say I don't know why he had to be booked during the game. If it's truly an incident surely they pick it up as part of the review during the week.

Feel like being reported plays on his mind, and potentially others, and if this gets thrown out (which I hope it does), you've been penalised for nothing. In a close game when it involves the best player, these sort of things have a material impact; and it doesn't have to.

Once again, sorry for dropping in. All the best for the rest of the year

I think you've made a great point actually. Not that we should be relying on Fyfe to win us a game but it definitely can affect the player's mindset. I hate the hyperbole surrounding it now. It will get so much attention when it doesn't deserve any at all. Now it'll be an anxious wait for Freo, Fyfe and us supporters for no reason.

 

[Off Tap]

Free kick play on.

I'll give up watching footy if they rub him out.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

I actually felt being at the game when this happened it turned the game subconsciously
Yeah we fckd ourselves with shitty decision making but the crowd lifted because they were smug that he'd been reported and freo were rattled to see the report. Also felt fyfes output also dropped off

 

[imperial_oz]

Clearly not a reportable incident. Not even worth a free kick considering what happens toPav and Walters every week without comment or free kick.

That said, I'd be betting that Freo have already send an email to the MRP pleading guilty to something, anything.......

 

[Wizard]

Doubt it'll matter with the way he's going at the moment.

I Think there's still some ailments bothering him.

Wiz,

Why play him if he is not right?

 

[332docker]

I'd be happy to see him rested rd23

Wiz,

Your guess is as good as mine mate, thought he was very average today.

Non existent after the report.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Only an issue because it is Fyfe. Free kick only.

 

[Nodgey]

I think the umpire reported hom only to appease the whining Norf players. Will be thrown out.
