MRP / Trib. Isaac Heeney - High contact on Jimmy Webster

[The Mares Leg]

So only bloods players can draw blood? And in Cripps case, only Blues players can put others in Hospital and still be deemed Brownlow winners?

Plugger won a Brownlow with you. Go away.

 

[The Mares Leg]

Based on Heeney admitting he brought his arm back to break the hold, can't see it being over turned.

It was an unusual situation. 50/50

 

[HirdsTheWord]

longer the deliberation the more chance of bullshittery occurring.

’s suspension has been upheld. He will miss this week’s game against North Melbourne and is ineligible for the 2024 Brownlow Medal.

 

[nylexbandit]

Ridiculous outcome

 

[largebus]

Sorry Isaac, no Big Vic discount for you.
At the end of the day that's more powerful than the Brownlow discount.

 

[TheWeapon]

Smoke and mirrors for maximum TV time, they'll appeal it again

 

[The Mares Leg]

Or considered analysis.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Ridiculous outcome

nah

 

[justlookingaround]

Holy shit. Did not deserve a week for that at all.

 

[Elixuh]

Heeney must be leading Bont, Daicos and Crippa, he he he. What a terrible outcome. Shouldn't have been a suspension.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

 

[justlookingaround]

Shocked to be sitting here.

Feel good about your weak self?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Thats actually hilarious and a bit sad

 

[Underarm]

Putting aside the comedy distractions like the Bushranger and Underarm- it's taken two pages for the discussion to arrive back at my point, posted 2 pages back.

It’s all in the wording of the directive - it says something like - ‘will USUALLY result in a grading of intentional’

I would argue this is not ‘usual’

- The tackling player CONTRIBUTED by slipping and this brought his head down to waist height

- the tackling player was actually ‘hanging on’ and Heeney’s clear intent was to clear the tackle, not strike the player

-Heeney was not watching the tackling player at poc.

- Contact was with the back of the hand and his nose was NOT the 1st POC.

There is simply no way the mechanics of this accident fall into the USUAL actions this rule was drawn up to prevent.

He’ll get off and we can all enjoy watching these poisonous bomber flogs calling for a lynching , burn up in the flames of their own straw arguments.

Turns out it wasn't so unusual after all.

 

[JasRulz63]

guy broke rule.

guy gets suspended.

simple as that.

Guy not named Cripps.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

lol how can anyone, even sydney fans, legitimately argue that turning and deliberately punching someone in the face, causing a bloody nose, isn't worthy of at least a week. he's honestly lucky it wasn't more than one

you lot are seriously taking the piss haha

 

[Maddo11]

Heeney confirmed not a good bloke

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Guy not named Cripps.

Cripps should have got done also.

Thats irrelevant to the fact Heeney broke a rule in the game.

 

[The Mares Leg]

guy broke rule.

guy gets suspended.

simple as that.

Guy has no dog in fight but yarps loudly

Guy prays he’ll get suspended to make him feel good.

Suspension occurs, guy seeks kudos.

Now that is ‘simple’.

he didn't deliberately do it.

But he still did it.

just another neutral who likes seeing justice done.

I accepted Peter Wright got suspended, you should do the same.

 

[eddiesmith]

Shock horror, Carlton tribunal rubs out contender to Cripps…

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Of course they will say 'look we are not afraid to rub out a browlow favourite'.

As long as he doesn't play for a vic team .

Clearly looks like he was trying to stop his jumper being pulled while leading and carelessly got him high .

Not like he jumped off the ground and KOed him
