Richards on Mitchell

[Maddo11]

What do we think?
could be anywhere from 2 down to 1 or 4 weeks for mine.
discuss

 

[hawkman]

I thought it was elbow more than bump which would make it intentional. 3 down to 2 for me

 

[BF Tiger]

According to most Hawk fans this is great news for Mitchell... he now gets to deliver a free corkie for being picked on.

 

[ScoobySnacks]

Barely even a mention of it by the Channel 7 crew. They replayed Mitchell's knee at every possible opportunity last week. Utter BS

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Let me put my tinfoil hat on...
Nah, 1 down to 0

 

[Aeon05]

Yeah Mitchells knee was shown and discussed for 30 minutes last week, this hasnt had a mention at all.
Will get the usual Sydney treatment of 1 week however it should be 3-4 before the early plea

 

[bumsonseats]

2 down to 1.....less the Sydney discount.....free to play next week

 

[BG32]

Did a good job on the dog. Let him off

 

[The A Team Van]

How about the bolts? I think they're in real trouble, got way more screen time than the elbow, and that's what counts for the mrp isn't it?

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

What we do know is Mitch will just get on with it and not bitch and moan like a whiny little girl like others!

 

[Boxhead_31]

Did Mitchell leave the field or was even attended to by any runners?
Insufficient force to warrant a report

The reasons that Mitchell's knee was discussed were because;
- it was the second time this year
- he was given the benefit of the doubt the first time, so there would obviously be a lot of discussion as to whether it was deliberate, is it reportable etc.

Richard's is a clear case of high contact in a bump. Definitely suspendable, plenty of other case where players have been suspended. There's not much to talk about and I don't think anyone who doesn't wear tin-foil thinks he will get off scot free.

He stuck the elbow out a little bit, so he might be in a bit more trouble than with a regular high bump. The impact was probably just medium. I don't think Mitchell was cut or groggy after it. I reckon the "potential to cause injury" might lift the impact to high though, but medium is probably about right based on the damage.

So, 2 down to 1 as it was in an attempted bump rather than a strike.

Mitchell had the ball in his hands. Tackling was probably the only option. Very intentional bump with the 'shoulder?' Or 'elbow?'

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

None. I feel sorry for them

 

[HawthornHawk]

Parker's kick to Birchall's groin was well disguised

I want to see the potential to cause injury clause , just like the hodge and Lewis reports. The victims also did not leave the field.

[blue harvest]

Lol, I don't know what he'll get because I've only seen one replay and it looked like it was filmed from the Harbour Bridge.

Did Teddy flap his arms around and point at himself?

 

[SA HAWK]

2 down to 1 seems fair.

Richard's isn't a dirty player.

Selwood copped a similar bump from Gibson last week and wasn't even reviewed by MRP just as a guide

 

[Tyrone Time]

Jetta on Punky???

 

[The King!]

2 for not doing a better job, he got up

 

[DrEvil_]

Insufficient force.

 

[bugalugs213]

Let him play so he can be on the field when Kennedy kicks 12.

Agree. Interesting not a hint of it at offal.com, mustn't have happened! Interesting to see how the various media shows handle it during the week.
