MRP Round 21

[arkie]

Geelong forward James Podsiadly has copped a two match ban for his head high bump on Bryce Gibbs in their match against Carlton on Friday night.

Podisadly was charged with a level two bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence and must accept the penalty even with an early guilty plea because of carry over points.

The incident was evaluated to be negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points) accumulating 250 demerit points and a two match sanction.

Did Waters get reported for that bump or not?

No. It was looked at though.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Waters did not leave the ground in his bumping action and it was the view of the panel the North Melbourne player should have expected contact in this situation. It was therefore ruled that Waters’ actions did not constitute a reportable offence.[/FONT]

And they also mentioned not enough force??? For rough conduct or whatever.

I think the North's player thought it was pretty forcefull.

I was fairly boozed and so am happy to be proven wrong by video evidence - but the Leroy thing happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and looked like he missed him totally.

Woooo Hoooooo! No Anvil vs the Hawks. This is bigger news than the stupid election!

umpire owes waters a free kick - no high contact no free

Medium impact. I'm guessing Liam Picken never touched anyone except with a feather duster then? Joke.

 

[alfy!]

How does Hunt get a week, that is almost as bad as Mumford's suspension.

Did he cop anything for that? His hit was pretty similar to Leroy's

Nope, It was deemed Low impact so he got off with a reprimand. Yet somehow Pods copped medium

 

[giantsully]

Paul Bevan's charge - which was for an absolute ripper tackle on Griffen - is assessed as "low impact" and "body contact". I'm sorry? You can be charged with low impact body contact in AFL now?

Seriously, this is getting out of control.

How did they decide to rate it high contact when Waite landed on his back

Ha! That's pretty sad isn't it.

He copped a reprimand due to low impact, which is a joke when you compare it to Pods. Far more force involved, and he went through with the roundarm, whereas Pods actually made a reasonable attempt to pull up.

Lack of consistency from the MRP as usual.

very odd that one, Hunt has basically let Waite go before Waite hits the ground, if he really wanted to hurt him he could have.

Good to see the Swans are fighting this for the good of the code - not to mention Bevo's reputation - how do you hold your head high when you've been done for "low impact body impact"?
