MRP / Trib. McPharlin Incident

[Mockcockpit]

McPhee off scott free as well

flipping suck it everyone

But, but, but McPhee was throwing haymakers apparently. Sydney cavalry to arrive soon to throw the rest of the toys out of the pram.

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

no ballantyne sitation either .... even though he was belting everything and everyone in site

 

[Seppo]

McPhee and Lower have been fined for engaging a melee.
McPharlin with 70 points for his...

 

[docker_champ29]

Shaw should be fined. As the fight broke out he just used it as an excuse to attack Ballantyne.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Got a reprimand with good behaviour

Would have got a reprimand with or without good behaviour!

Guilty plea would bring it below 100 points anyway

The good behaviour just reduces the carryover points by about 23

Contact between West Coast's Josh Kennedy and Fremantle's Brett Peake from the third quarter of Saturday's game was assessed

according to the mrp peake is still a docker! How do proffesionals make such easy mistakes?

lololololololol

*deep breath*

lololololol

good last goal by Peake as well

 

[Notorious_29]

Very lucky, have seen less go for weeks. The MRP really is a lucky dip these days.

Anyone remember the accidental front on bump that rubbed MJ out for 4 weeks at the start of the season a few years ago? This kinda reminded me of it. Same lack of intent, just plain accidental. Man, the MRP is a joke.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

That was a BS call that one

he was the player the AFL/MRP decided to make an example of for the new bump rules when a player has their head over the ball

No way would that get 4 weeks now, he was protecting the ball and it was just unlucky he cleaned up Grover as well. He wasn't looking so maybe he'd get 1 or 2, but the bump was there to protect the ball and whoever was going for the ball (McPharlin I think would have got there)

 

[hoss]

Big loss - Luke will get 2 weeks for that. He has been pretty lucky in recent years - was lucky not to go for his hit on Brown in rd 1 so I giess you could say this is karma.

Karma ey? You must be feeling a bit disappointed with the verdict.

 

[strobe00]

Is it just me or is weird that if you unintentionally knock someone's head with a shoulder / elbow you're in trouble but if you unintentionally launch into the back of someone's head with a knee at full tilt (Mayne) or accidently kick someone skwar in the nuts, it's not even looked at?

I see your point. I guess the difference is intent. With a bump you're deliberately trying to hit a guy. With a mark you're trying to use him as a step ladder.

But if you watch the vision Mayne only hits Mattner in the back of the head because Rhys Shaw tries to bump Mayne off his line after Mayne has taken off for the mark. Brings Mayne's knee out of it's original line and straight into the back of poor old Mattner's head.

And Pav's case was just horrible luck.

Was it wrong for my initial reaction to be whether Mayne's kneecap was intact??

The stupidity of your posting gives you away.

At least try to be discreet in your trolling in future.

 

[Dockernut]

relax

he was offered a reprimand due to his good 5 year record.

just heard the news on sen online radio (stuck in Paris)

Whoot! Whoot!
