Schammer - 1 Week?

[DRDGroup]

I just heard on 6PR Schammer has got 1 week suspension even with a early guilty plea?

Is this true? If it is then this is bloody ridiculous!!!

 

[Lach72]

If that's true they have to challenge it.
If that's a week, Murphy should get 2 for the 'smack' in the gob.

Byron Schammer, Fremantle, has been charged with a Level Two striking offence against Marc Murphy, Carlton, during the fourth quarter of the Round Seven match between Fremantle and Carlton, played at Gold Coast Stadium on Saturday May 9, 2009.

In summary, his carry-over demerit points from within the last 12 months means that his one-game sanction cannot be reduced with an early plea.

The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has 70.31 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 195.31 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent, to 146.48 points and a one-match sanction.

What a load of shit

Is there any footage of this? What a ****ing joke.

It was a silly punch by Schammer, always at risk of a suspension if the tribunal felt like picking up on it, especially with his prior record.

Can't get 2 weeks, so might as well challenge.

There was hardly anything in it. Pissweak.

Pathetic suspension, the club has to challenge this.

Schammer has really stood up this year, would be a huge hole with the players already out if he was to be rubbed out for a week as well.

 

[Alfonz]

They should challenge the "low impact" category, it was well below that. Not Schammer's fault that Murphy is a pussy.

 

[DRDGroup]

F$#ckn Unbelievable!!! What about Murphy then on his hit on Haselby and then on Schammer? What have these clowns got against us? Ba#&*****!

 

[SupersonicDocker]

Star treatment for Murphy.

This reminds me of crowley's "savage" knee on ablett last year in the anzac game.

However i believe a challenge is certainly viable from the footage. Murphy certainly milked it and tried helped make it look worse than it was. Sadly though i am dumbfounded how his original jab to the face was let go?

But hey that was further proof on why Murphy wont carry his team anywhere anytime soon. Real champions don't fall down...

 

[dominguez]

We'll definately challenge since there's no risk of 2 weeks but hard to say what aspect we can argue with. It was intentional, low impact and to the body.

Exactly, the way the MRP classified the incident does seem to fit. There was really nothing in the hit, but it was intentional which is the key part.

Hopefully they'll challenge it and win, but it was stupid from Schammer particularly with points hanging over his head.

 

[Haydos]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Schammer retaliating to a similar punch that was initially thrown by Murphy? And Murphy's actually looked like it made contact to Schammers jaw which Schammer then pointed to while on the mark.

Doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

 

[anti.]

weak as, freo will challenge and win.

if marc murphy didnt fall down like a bitch then nothing ever would've happened.

 

[Clay Davis]

Everyone knows Carlton is full of sooky mummy's boys.

Judd - ditched captaincy of a premiership winning team to return to mum
Stevens - left a team on the verge of winning a premiership to return to mum
Warnock - sooked about not being good enough and returned to mum
Muprhy - gave up playing with star midfielders so he could stay at home with mum.

Never win a premiership with that lot.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Lolwut?

 

[HigginsHawk]

Take the week! No I really mean it, please take the week.

 

[sumavich]

John Prior will get him off !!
He got tranquiliser boy off for beating some kid up at his sister's party, he can get anybody off !!
Go get 'em JP !!
Tequila's been one of our best lately, we need him !!

 

[loopa]

unfreakinbelievable!!!
fingers crossed he gets off. With Scham out, I think the Hawks will win

 

[L_J_T]

That's a joke that, Murphy started it and then copped a little gut punch and fell down like a little bitch. I would definitely challenge it as he is a vital part of your team.

Agree anti. The fact his Murphy is a little baby and couldn't handle Schammer annoying so he punched Schammer. Schammer being the hard arse he is (compared to Murphy) stood up to it and then when Murphy got his back he falls over like a little Bitch!!

If schammer is reported fine, but atleast report Murphy for doing the same thing/starting the fight.

Yep, murphy also hit hase a few minutes before in a similar manner to the schammer incident, surely both should get rubbed out or neither.

Agree 100%

If he gets a week, that would mean that three out of our four arguably best midfielders are out in successive weeks.

Surely we will challenge...

 

[Nodgey]

Ridiculous and soft as butter.

Perhaps we can argue negligent/reckless instead of intentional? I have no idea how this tribunal system works TBH, but "intentional" is at the worse end of the scale. Maybe "reckless" could downgrade it to a reprimand?

Or what about the Montagna defense? We could argue there was insufficient force to warrant a "strike".

I suspect though that after Nick Stevens got suspended after the Bunbury game, Carlton won't be in any mood to do us any favours here.

and further contact between Carlton's Murphy and Fremantle's Schammer was also reviewed and did not constitute a reportable offence

BS!
