So Goddard is given 2 for his fairy bump, but Conca is allowed to elbow a player in the back of the head when he's not watching and gets the same?

Go **** yourselves.

 

[Beerfish]

Is anybody really surprised?

 

[eth-dog]

When you look it from the perspective of punishing the team...

 

[Halftimehero]

Stevie J copping a week is seriously gonna **** my supercoach for 1st week of the finals, desperately need Buddy back this week.

Why was no action taken from the lindsay thomas dive?

Unless your Leroy Jetta.

If anyone has bothered to watch the AFL Charged video or whatever.

Basically they say in regards to Murphy's elbow to Crowley, IF Crowley had gone to ground Murphy would of been charged but he didn't so it wasn't.

So if Winderlich's elbow on Cornes (I think) had failed to floor him then Winderlich would not of been suspended.

What a joke of a system

Yep Caro.

It's Essendon keeping people away from games............

 

[Doss]

Essendon's fault for making Marc Murphy frustrated at the state of the game, so much so that he lashed out.

Chain of causation, you see. Learn it. Oh, and grow up!

The lack of punitive action towards elbowing incidents in the last couple of seasons is a big worry. It is one of the most dangerous parts of the body that can cause some serious damage to others if used with genuine malice. Yet of all the ****ing incidents either treated with kid gloves or simply ignored by the MRP, they pull out Winderlich's the other week.

It's been like this forever. If you embellish (ie dive after contact) you don't get done, but if you just basically lie (ie grab the head after body contact) you can get done. that's a pretty big loophole obviously. in jetta's case he was done for not failing backwards but for grabbing his head straight afterwards.

conca could have got about 6 weeks and I would have been fine with it. just a totally disgraceful act and really disappointing it wasn't sent to the tribunal. thought Merrett would have got off when I saw it. Don't think I've seen the rest.

there's also a second problem, in that it has a lower base penalty than it should. even when punished, I often think they should get more than they have

also the monday charge video is bad. don't bother listening to what they say. Schmook in particular is hopeless (or at least was). Joel Bowden tomorrow is who you wanna care about

ftr, I think Murphy should have gone, as it's a fair wind up

I guess if they are consistent, would like to see these made example of though.

Because it was a correctly paid free kick - Nothing to see here.

Merrett one was 1 and half steps after Pedersen marked the ball - It's irrelevant for the MRP to argue that Merrett struck the ball - You can mark the ball have it in your hands ( keep it in your hands ) and get hit after five steps following the MRP's logic - I have no idea how Merrett got off. And that's making allowances for contact in amrking contests.

Says Garry Lyon:

"Stop blaming the last five years, Melbourne players."

But you engineered the last 5 years, you asshat.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He really ripped Melbourne a new one on FC cant say i blame him.

 

[Doss]

Garry Lyon has a bit of Mr Teflon about him in regards to Melbourne, I reckon.

Does anyone know why monfries was getting booed on Sunday night? Didn't think he'd done anything to Collingwood...but I might be wrong!
