MRP

[Belnakor]

It is also unusual for David. For the most part he is unflappable.

Selwood was scragging Fyfe off the play.

Oh, so square up. strangely enough that is good to see.
Pretty much what every other team does to Ryan Crowley, unfairly, which the umpires allow.
But still , like I said very unlike David Mundy.

I watched the video evidence and all I saw was something that happens every game, someone blocking someone else run - he didn't get him high or in the head, Selwood just didn't see it coming so down he went...I hope we try and get that thrown out - he won't miss even if they find him guilty as he has a 6 year good record...Even if he had 20 extra carry over points it would be worth trying to get it thrown out I reckon...the game is getting to soft!

 

[gaskin]

He'd still miss wouldn't he? The early plea is what brings it down from a week. I didn't think the good behaviour record came into effect if you challenge and lose.

 

[Nickos66]

Is that the same inference with the Nick Suban charge in the Grand Final ?

No idea. I don't even know what he was suspended for.

You mean the fishhooking he gave Sammy Mitchell?

Pretty dirty tactic that couldn't accomplish anything that might impact the contest. It was just stupid.

Agree. When was it ever illegal for a player to do that. Literally the perfect bump. That stuff should be allowed. It's how taggers should be dealt with as long as it's within the rules. None of those soft bs free given against Crowley, Macaffer etc in the last few weeks.

I honestly have no idea.

I fail to see what this is reported for. Clarke has the ball. They are next to the mark and Mundy bumps Selwood. It is within 5m of the ball and Selwood should be expecting contact. Another totally bizarre report on actioms that occur regularly every game.

I think if we challenge and lose (as there is no fairness we probably will) he still gets his good behaviour bonus and 93 points and a reprimand.

Summed up the MRP in those two words.

 

[gaskin]

It is within 5m of the ball and Selwood should be expecting contact..

The ball is not in open play though. The umpire had called time off. That is half the problem IMO.

 

[clogged]

It means the MRP didn't agree with the penalty set out by their formula and decided to send it to the tribunal for a lesser penalty

So essentially they wanted to avoid a repeat of the stupid Fyfe penalty.

****wits.

 

[muzzington]

Can't believe it, thought I knew David Mundy then he goes and does that.

 

[caterina]

The reaction to the Fyfe penalty now has the MRP second guessing themselves, so the process is (if possible) even worse than before the Fyfe decision.
On one hand, how was what Mundy did reckless, it was clearly intentional yet if they grade it intentional they have to suspend him for a week even with his reductions for pleas etc.
But on the other hand how was the Glass hit on Wingard the same impact as Mundy's on Selwood? If that was low, why isn't Mundy insufficient force? Selwood crumpling like a cheap Chinese car is hardly a valid gauge of force.

 

[Docker82]

Incident not even worth a free kick IMO. Another massive blunder by the incapable morons at the MRP.

 

[samFFC]

At least he can play this week...

 

[332docker]

He'd still miss wouldn't he? The early plea is what brings it down from a week. I didn't think the good behaviour record came into effect if you challenge and lose.

No got to be over 100points to miss a week.
He has good record which gets him down to not miss a week, but get 95 points to carryover for any future offence (he has had none last 6 years)

Early acceptance gives him 25% discount which reduces his carryover points to 75 odd points...he will have carryover points regardless, but will play against port even if he challenges and losses!

Given he is essentially a clean player that rarely attracts MRP attention I'd risk the extra 25 carry over points to get him off completely and show them they are plain idiots!

 

[themidlandmaster]

What on earth is he reported for? All I saw on the video is him pushing a bloke over?

 

[pokerspiv]

Punched Selwood in the guts behind play.

 

[scon]

I agree with what you've said cat and they've referred Jack Viney's hit straight to the tribunal;Lynch ended up with a broken jaw so it's going to be pretty interesting.

 

[yoong]

Low impact is Darren Glass' whacked on Wingard , who is down for minutes, then had to go hospital for a scan.
Mundy needed to stomp on the duck's chest to even out the low impact charge IMO.

Mundy might as well challenge the charge. 75 points and 90 points is not really a big difference. If he got charged again with anything he'll probably cop an extra week anyway (seem like 125 points is the minimum nowadays).
Based on the vision its a soft bump. Bad call from MRP.

 

[Frank J Moose]

The ball is not in open play though. The umpire had called time off. That is half the problem IMO.

I just looked at it again. I think the ump is waving play on as it happens behind the ump. Touch and go.

Richmond get pilloried for not looking after Cotchin. We look after Fyfe and get reported.

Had the umpires played holding against Selwood it would never have happened.

 

[clogged]

It's not a derby unless a Selwood gets punched.

 

[Admiral Byng]

What on earth is he reported for? All I saw on the video is him pushing a bloke over?

You're not allowed to do that anymore it seems, that's too rough.

 

[Outshined]

Well worth the 70 points.

Good to see our other midfielders getting stuck into Selwood at every opportunity too.

 

[Big Animal]

Just watched the replay. There is no good reason why Darling should not have been reported and given weeks off. Any further back and that could have resulted in a serious neck injury
