MRP / Trib. Issues from today?

[BEEG]

Young won't play next week anyway

 

[Apex36]

I was blindsided because of my seats, but what you've described sounds identical to Zeibell's suspension the other year.

As soon as you jump into a bump you're gonna have a bad time...

Except it wasn't a bump.

 

[Wooljay]

Anyone have any vision of it? Loved seeing it on the ground, and he probably will be resting either way, so totally worth it to smash Chappy.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I seem to recall the ball being in dispute at the time of these bumps, as in, in the process of going for the ball there was a collision. I could be wrong on the Young one, but I'm pretty confident on Frost.

 

[MeisterBot]

Frost will be fine, I think. He let up at the end, could've really poleaxed Heppell but didn't.

Young might be in trouble, but I don't think it will really matter. He's probably going to miss next week through injury anyway.

 

[Kilmo]

The Young bump on Chappy should be interesting actually because although Young did leave the ground to bump....SO did Chappy. The fact that Chappy came off second best this time was coincidental, they both were intent on making contact with each other.

This is applying logic to the MRP aka not how it works.

 

[DuckToaster]

I think they'll let the Young bump go as the MRP don't like players staying down hoping to milk a free kick.

I'm confused. What part of his body made contact with Chapman? Because unless the contact was front on it's considered a bump even if the balls in dispute.

I still haven't seen footage so I'm genuinely interested and can't imagine Young would open himself up with Chapman coming at him.

I found footage of the Chapman hit, I turned it into a .GIF

Both were attempting to grab the ball, both jumped. Neither were attempting to actually initiate contact with each other, just both going hard at the ball.
The contact, although heavy, was completely incidental. Young always had eyes for the ball, so he really shouldn't be reported. Hell, he didn't even get a free paid against him.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah, that gif confirms what I suspected. Neither player should be even so much as cited. Possibly not even looked at. Both had eyes for the ball which was in dispute.

That isn't even a bump! Did he even turn his body? Chapman has basically just run into him!

0 weeks.

 

[blaze036]

Anyone else notice Chappy stays down a LONG time after bumps...?

Slow mo replay shows no head contact here yet same reaction.

 

[MAGPIE2013]

the young bump is negligent at best, that is if it is even looked at by the mrp. The frost one was just a plain ripper, nothing there

 

[HFF]

Frost's bump really set the tone for the game when we were coming. If he gets a week, it will be the best week off he will ever get. I have no issues with his bump.

Young's certainly caught Chappy and will be looked at but you know what, for that split second and moments afterwards, Youngy sent Chappy back to 2008 where he reminded him at who was BOG in the first half of that GF. Was another bump that stated our intent on the ball and the man.

 

[obleex]

Fingers crossed both Frost and Young have nothing to worry about.

Did anyone see Sidebottom stick a leg out and nearly trip someone early on? Surprised it hasn't been mentioned by anyone yet.

Only Young is in trouble, left the ground and hit someone in the head hopefully only 1 week

Chapman left the ground as well.

 

[blaze036]

Chapman left the ground as well.

I don't think that has much relevance though

The current MRP guidelines are if you hit someone in the head you will probably miss weeks.

Pretty sure Frost got Heppell in the body

"Alright Paul, you can get up now. They kicked a goal."

I can't see that Young would be in any strife for this. He's left the ground in an attempt to gather the ball and moves upwards more than towards Chapman. Thanks for making that gif BoyOh, shows the incident really clearly.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Young got a corkie and with a bye after the Carlton game it wont matter too much if hes suspended. It would have been worth it in fact to clean up Chappy, one of Essendons few good news stories of the year.

 

[DuckToaster]

I made the gif just so I could watch Chapman run into the brick wall known as Clinton over and over again.

If you initiate contact and hit the head then you get weeks. There is no evidence Young was doing anything except attempt to get the ball. Contact was purely incidental. Will not get weeks.

The fact Young mate contact with the ball before he made contact with Chapman will count in his favour.
