MRP / Trib. Naitanui: Free to Play

[The Falcon Strike]

Gets a reprimand

I'm assuming Negligent, Low and High Contact - 125 down to 93.75 with a plea


Goddard and Armitage also cleared

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Even the reprimand was over the top.

Good result anyway.

 

[pantskyle]

Should have been thrown out. Dumb report.

 

[BradWCE]

Good news that he didn't get suspended because you never know what the MRP will decide. Bad news is that if he does something minor like that again he'll get suspended which is ridiculous. No idea why but Mark Robinson on Game Day was sure Naitanui would get a week.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Great decision

Well thats simple. "Robbo" is a first class pole smoker.

 

[WCEforeverman]

Phew.

I was worried where the dart would land this week.

 

[BradWCE]

Well thats simple. "Robbo" is a first class pole smoker.

Yeah that would be about right. In other MRP news Brad Ottens got 1 week down from 3 because of his good record.

 

[new breed]

Hope these rulings dont change Nata's game style , with points hanging over his head another slight misjudgement could put him out of a final

 

[Prem87]

Sweetttt

 

[Makka]

Great news for NicNat! Shame he now has points hanging over his head but we'll need him for the game this week. Another big test!

They expire after 12 months which is good!!

 

[Byron_Clanger]

NicNat given a reprimand for failing to vanish when Hunt was over the ball, what a joke

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Load of crap he even got a penalty but at least he is free to play. Also Ottens only got a week which sucked too

 

[Max zero]

Good result anyway.

Armitage wasn't even reprimanded. MRP is a joke.

 

[BOND 007]

The whole system is a joke. Ottens gets 1 week for a elbow to the back of a players head who didnt know he was coming and the whole thing was 80 metres behind the play. Whether Ottens had a good record or not is irrelevent, what he did is EXACTLY the type of thing the AFL should be taking a hard line on, should they want Mrs Jones to let Johnny go and play AFL.

Realistically Ottens should have been given a 5 week penalty with 2 off for good behaviour and told if the thuggish behaviour is repeated then his penalty will be 10 weeks next time he fronts up with no reduction.

This approach might get rid of idiots like Campbell Brown

Dumb report, all political. The geelong player effectively jumped in front of Nic from behind another team mate. What next???

 

[Forward Press]

I don't think you understand why the tribunal moved to things like low/medium/high impact etc rather than the arbitrary doling out of weeks depending on how they felt that night.

There are a few failings with the system as it is, yes, but it is far better than the completely discretionary nature of the previous tribunal system. I like the ability for us after the match to look at:

1 - Force above/below that required to constitute a reportable offence - if above, proceed to step 2, if below no action
2 - High/medium/low impact - 3/2/1 grading
3 - Intentional/reckless/negligent - 3/2/1 grading
4 - Was it to the head or neck? If so, 2, if not, 0
5 - Do your sums, taking off 25% for an early guilty plea and/or good record, adding 25% for a bad record
6 - ???
7 - Profit

 

[Double the Fist]

Nic Nats 2 illeagal charges on Swift was a disgrace. 10 weeks I reckon. MINIMUM!

 

[Smeg Head]

MRP is a damn farce anyway. All the stupid weak off the ball stuff should cop a huge extra loading, thats what really looks bad in games, not two players going hard at the ball with one getting down lower.

 

[free at last]

NicNat given a reprimand for failing to vanish when Hunt was over the ball, what a joke

would've been a bigger joke if nicnat had been rubbed out.

 

[larrikin]

Great decision

Disagree

Well thats simple. "Robbo" is a first class pole smoker.

But he did get a week? So, he was on the money! He didn't say he should get a week, he said he would!

Why should players not get a discount for good behaviour? Similarly, why should they not get more for bad behaviour? A player that has a brain fart and does something shit should get less of a penalty than a player that does is consistently for the lulz.

Robbo said he was sure Naitanui would be suspended but he wasn't.
