$10k in $10 million or whatever it is.
If you want to contest, you contest. Im sure its Clarko being unhappy about the earlier 50m penalty, not this particular incident.
Another reason why the system is bad. With the crap the MRP serves up you should be able to contest for free.
Because the guy with the ball is infringed upon first through high contact means that in these cases HTB is irrelevant. My point is that the guy with the ball has to be tackled/dispossessed legally.
And when the guy with the ball gets illegally tripped the referee pays a penalty. Just like if illegal high contact is made. If the ump thinks a player is feigning high contact he had the right to call play-on.
But it is NOT deemed prior opportunity. It never has been. So the tackler needs to adjust or the rule needs to change. Until then your point is invalid.
The high contact isn't first though is it? The guy with the ball is tackled, does a few twisty manoeuvres with his body, then the high contact occurs. Incidental high contact that we were told last year the AFL had instructive the umpires to stop paying.
Yeah, illegally tripped. Versus deliberately tripped over the tacklers leg.
It is not just for "feigning high contact" that the umpire has the right to call play on. it is for the tackled player CAUSING the high contact. Selwood and others are not feigning high contact. They are causing it by their actions after being tackled. The mystery is why they are not being called play on when the AFL had indicated that was their intention last year. I believe that less of them have been paid, but it is pretty clear the umpires are still not implementing what the AFL had told us was the new interpretation.
The rule/interpretation has been changed. Last year. The problem now is the implementation and interpretation of the rule. The rule could be further improved by making it prior opportunity too, but just enforcing the interpretation change from last year and calling play on would be a damn good start.

Did a classic Selwood on Selwood , i thought it was great for him to get some back .
It is not hatred but i despise players who give it then sook like a girl when someone gives it back .
You should be blaming the umps/law makers and not the player(s). This is not a problem with Selwood.

I could never figure out how Trump got elected.
From reading this thread I think I now have a better understanding of how it happened.

Not even sure Henderson saw him. Dangerfield just went lower to win the ball
Except it was a crows player last year slamming selwood into the deck.
Old hitman Henderson at it again....
Rubbish.
If it wasn’t
A) A hawthorn player
B) Selwood
That player would get more weeks.
Deliberate knees to the head. Like F me, what more do you want? Would be 3-4 if not for A and or B.
Hawthorn leniency strikes again!

So he accepted the ban?
What’s the storey with people bringing up Sicily and dog in the same sentence. I am offended as when I hear the word dog I automatically think loyalty, consistent temperament, positive vibes ..... I love my little staffy. Happy to have a player like Sicily that plays close to the edge. This time he crossed it so be it.
Hodge and Lewis gone , hello Sicily and Hardwick! It’s a brutal game and most of the past premiership teams had a player or two with a bit of mongrel. Sicily will ruffle a few feathers and improve the peripheral vision of opposition players
good.

But how does Caddy get one for an errant open hand (that did make contact ) but can easily be defended part of the play.
And Siciliy gets the same penalty for off the ball dropping the knee deliberately into the head of player laying on the ground - dog act.
If I was Caddy and Tigers fans id be pissed off. Sicily is a dog act and the kind of s**t the AFL want out of the game.
Caddy is in play, errant for sure but unintentional and at best careless and accidental. Yet the same penalty? WTF.

Caddy incredibly stiff. Trying to swat the ball, makes incidental contact to the face, and he's facing time on the sidelines. I thought the whole point of the revamped MRP was to punish non-football acts (knees, punches, etc), and give a bit more leniency to the other blokes playing fairly?
Just when I started to have a decent opinion of the Hawthorn Football Club their 'unsociable' true colours come to the fore once again. It figures that you when you have an angry Coward Punch midget as your coach that he'd school their next bunch players really well in the dirty aspects of the game; continuing on the thuggish tradition of Lethal, Dermott, Dipper, etc...

Yeh and what about your choir boy coach and his mate Mal Michael ramming into a player coming of the field with a busted shoulder? Hypocrite much?
Just following ex-Collingwood coach Leigh Matthews example?
Not much you can do when someone grabs you around the ankles and doesnt let go.
If you fall backwards you risk ankle and knee damage, if you go forward you can give the idiot a knee in the head and make him reconsider the illegal tactic.
If the umpire paid holding the man or tripping it would have never got to this
