Mumford could be cited by MR panel

[forwardflanker]

He is not an injured player though - would be different if he started the game and then got hurt and Mumford then had a go.
Dawes started the game so as I said - he is fit to play
Based on your opinion of the rule what did stokes and lonergan get for testing out hodges ribs in 08
How about west coast players testing Cyril's shoulder out time and time again in rd 23

Mumford is fine and will play

Yeah fair point.

I don't think you can bring up examples from 2008 when the AFL has significantly hardened their stance on these issues in the past 3-4 years.

Steve Johnson on Hannebery was deemed as insufficient force in regards to the 'interfering with an injured player' crap.

Selwood copped it for the injured player thing and Baker had some time added for hitting Steve Johnson's broken finger.

That's interesting a would of thought that misconduct would make force irrelevant. Guess I was wrong.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Load of horseshit.

 

[The Dodger]

I think they look at if the player knew he had an injury before that game. So as Dawes was advertised to be sore think they may count against Mumford.
As poster said earlier though, it is getting tiresome with the media setting the agenda for the MRP. It's starting to feel like the MRP don't go through hours of footage looking for the contact but just go off what the media make a big deal about. And once something "has to be looked at" well its like it has to be graded which starts the making of the mountain out if the mole hill.

Darcy dobbing players in.

It is the MRP. Thinking just makes it harder.

 

[piesaregreat]

Why is anyone surprised the the media build s**t up and the MRP react to it?
MRP has been a pub chook raffle all year.
So Mumford either no case to answer or three weeks. Toss a coin

 

[strategy]

The ABC radio after the Hawks v Crows match actually said its a Mumford indiscretion on Cloke .

 

[RizzoTheRat]

Wouldn't be a Swans GF without some sort of MRP controversy.

 

[market]

Just bullshit...I would be spewing (as we all would) if this was one of our team at risk.

 

[Tedeski]

Three of the four GFs we've played in since 1945 have been preceded with this type of situation.

Water off a duck's back.

If he plays he plays.

If Teddy plays he plays.

If we're meant to win we will!

 

[The King!]

Just decide one way or another asap

 

[hawkman]

Does he have any points hanging over his head? If he does there will be no charge, if he has no points it will be arranged to fall under a week. You need to kill someone to be suspended for a Grand Final

 

[the distributer]

Maybe the Umps think they didn't have enough influence on the Hawks-Crows game and are looking to heck the GF up.

 

[Masto]

The Melbourne media are meant to be on South Melbourne's side. Please stop sabotaging South Melbourne.

 

[Plugger35]

If they let Hall off in 2005 for a blatant strike against Maguire off the ball by claiming it was 'in play' then I can't see Mumford getting rubbed out for anything less than first degree murder.

 

[the_interloper]

Does anyone actually like Darcy? I reckon he's a flog of the highest order!

 

[hotham]

The one saving grace for Mumford is that he doesn't play for North Melbourne,
Otherwise;
It wouldn't matter if there is no video footage
It wouldn't matter if Daws was or was not injured
It would look at the medical report from Collingwood as entirely accurate
It wouldn't matter to the MRP about alternatives / no alternatives, carry over points

if all else fails Judge Jones would use his 'conspicious fairness 'and suspend Mumford is he 'sees fit'

Mumford will play for the Swans in the GF

You seem awfully mad.

That was the worse decision ever. f it was a Saint on a Swan he would of got weeks.

One bad decision, get over it.

That's an understatement

 

[hotham]

Zeibell and Harvey actually equal two bad decisions. I'll still feel the same in two years time.

 

[Obeanie1]

Eddie just showed it on fox during the post match wrap.

Shows Mumford and Dawes standing behind the goals and Mumford tries to knock Dawes knee - the tap on the ricter scale .5.

Absolutely no different from every "test" a player gets when they play. If your out there then your fit

If the MRP wanted to make a point just give him a reprimand but let him play, sends a subtle but firm message to the players that there are limits to what lengths you should go to win a game of footy.

Targeting players injuries has been going on forever and I don't agree with the "if you out there your fair game". A player can play with a mending factured cheek bone but purposely going out to target that area is unacceptable.

Just like pulling someone's arm back and twisting it when they've had shoulder problems.

Moronic stuff IMO. You areout there to beat a football opponent in a football game, not win a fight by deliberatley hurting someone.

Ziebell yes.

But for Harvey you can't hit a bloke off the ball, deserved what he got.
