Jack Redpath suspended for 3 matches

[BrisDog]

So you would like to see afl players with a track record of throwing punches run straight through an innocent Toby Greene.
Thank christ all supporters dont support thuggery on the field.

Yes I would like to see that.

Also - 'innocent' Toby Greene = oxymoron.

 

[MJ_Dogs]

Both soft. If you can't see the difference just because one is a fist you must be trolling.

Fist to face. Palm to shoulder. That is the difference. Christ. Being a GWS fan you're obviously on the books of the AFL and subscribe to the same delusion

 

[catpremier 07]

3 weeks for that, im in the camp if i didn't love my team so much i wouldn't watch a game anymore, absolute farce.

 

[Pea Nut]

Goes to show how right the AFL had it before they went and made all the changes to rules again.

Both are strikes . Both are soft. See the connection or do you need your bias taken away.

 

[VL3OJ]

So let me get this absolutely correct. You get to play next week if you kick a bloke in the head but you get two or three weeks off if you slap him on the head. Makes complete sense then!

Hopefully the MRP can piss off at the end of the season. They are custodians of the game and have let everyone down. There needs to be more common sense approach where the risk and "look of the game" is taken into account.

AFL supporters should be able to view an event and have a good chance of getting the result correct 90% of the time.

There were a heap of happy supporters when tom hawkins got 2 for what was a push to the face so now we have to put up with this s**t.

Delusional

 

[Smartest Brain]

Ah the dogs delusional hypocritical tears are sweet.

Until every one stops and realizes the game has gone soft and to stop the softening it will only get worse. Stop complaining what others got in punishment and just call soft what it is, soft.
If another team hits someone from your team and it's soft, stop crying about it. This redpath hit was soft, Davis didn't act well either. Just like Greene's incidents are nothing. If you want the game harder then stop being blinded by your bias.

 

[jack_black16]

It's what you get when you judo chop someone to the face.

 

[tigernsw]

Why was the MRP brought in anyway? It just complicates things as very few incidents are black and white.

The stupidity of the people running the game is beyond belief.

Get rid of the MRP, get rid of the stupid guidelines they follow and have a judiciary judge each incident at face value. (Just like it once was)

Finally, make it 100% transparent - as fans we deserve that.

Broadcast each hearing live on AFL.com. Plenty will watch.
Don't these morons running the show want eyeballs and interest on the game?
They brought in the MRP because they're lazy and want to make it simple. But all it has done is piss of the fans! Idiotic Gill.

 

[Smartest Brain]

It's what you get when you judo chop someone to the face.

A soft strike is still soft, even if intentional, even if high, even with a fist, even with a hammer. Soft is soft and should be punished appropriately, ie. not much.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

The public have been crying out to the AFL to do something about divers and floppers for long enough. It used to cost teams a free kick, it is now costing players games. It's a disgrace, and the AFL need to act on these players before it really gets out of hand.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

This is a disgrace. 3 weeks for that. We've lost the plot

 

[westie]

Take it to the High Court Doggies and teach the AFL a lesson. Crowd funding will get the job done and you can count me in.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

That's the worst suspension this year, 3 matches!

I mean I know he had the record from recently but surely some bloody context could be given since it was open palmed. If they wanted to suspend for 1 week to reinforce that crap still crosses the line then fine but 2 or 3 matches for whats less than a proper jump punch is ridiculous.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Idiotic Gill.

Tautology.

 

[Jack Gun Cyril Stun]

if a prison created its own unsanctioned department of justice and then appointed ex prisoners to the jury, answering to no one, how much justice do you expect?
.

Haha...probably a boatload more consistent and logical justice than the MRP!

 

[Boxhead_31]

For an open hand push to the neck... that's just wrong.

Thoughts?

It's time the MRP take into account the fact that Davis is a serial diver when grading impact to him by players

 

[Suma Magic]

He got 1 week for a bad record and 2 for this.

Normally this is 1 with an early plea.

Still should have got zero. But let's not pretend that he got 3 for just this.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Dogs turn to cop it in the ort this week.
Who's turn next week.

We know one thing it won't be the Giants

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

So dogs supporters think love taps should just be that?

That's why you wanted Toby banned for that too right? I've seen more force with a feather landing on a pillow. Both are a joke, fine at best.

get ****ed , and support a real team you glory hunter wannabe

 

[Boxhead_31]

How many games is he going to miss? That is what he got.

 

[Whiskers]

Crazy stuff by the AFL.

Lost their marbles.

Oh now you can see the light?
Congratulations on arriving at destination 'AFL has lost it's marbles'
Took you a while.

 

[OhhDeledio]

What a bloody disgrace that that gets you 3 weeks. The whole system is f****d and it is run by complete knob heads
