MRP / Trib. Steele gets 2 weeks

[Seedsfan]

Because protecting players from concussion is taking it too far

They may as well go play netball then. In a few years they will ban flying for a mark as you may hit someones head and then the game will be dead.
Players should always be able to brace for contact like Steele did.

You know the game is in a horrible place when you get one week for punching someone in the throat off the ball and two for that.

Why?

You may as well just watch rugby.

Two weeks?
Yep, done, take it.
Move on.

ps Mr SideB please learn from this, it's costing you good games for a discipline lapse. Just not worth it.

I blame Bucks for getting Steele suspended. Damn you Buckley!!

What did Stringer get for punching that bloke in the jaw?

A handshake.

I do every week. So you think it is right you get twice as much for a bump like that as you for punching someone off the ball?

 

[didaksrightfoot]

Yep, 1 or 2 weeks is right.

It's unfortunate, because in these type of situations when everythings happening in traffic, anyone who's played sport knows your first instinct is to brace for contact - which is what I think is happening in at least half of these cases that come up before the MRP... but when you do that and make contact with the head, you will face a suspension (And I'm not particularly opposed to that). That has been set, the players know it - you aren't gonna get off it by arguing that it's unintentional.

What off the ball punch are you referring to? Hall got 8 for an off the ball punch.

Zorko the other week. Medical reports should never come into it, if you punch someone off the ball you should always get more than an accidental high bump

Jeez the "everyone is out to get Collingwood" stuff you go on with all the time sounds so ridiculous.

And you Bloody winging about is also Ridiculous

Someone still in a Foul Mode

No Dave, it was a shit act. If that was an opposition player, we'd be screaming for 5 weeks.

He os lucky to get 2. It was deliberate, high and put his player out for the whole game.

No one would ever push for 5 weeks

 

[ThexderX]

Should have been 21 weeks.....at least we might have someone who plays near an opponent for the next 2 weeks.

We might also have someone kick it more than a little 8 metre grubby half volley.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Oh well, two weeks is lenient concidering he has priors. Take it and we'll see you against the dee's Steele!!

 

[lethalburns]

needs to get this out of his game. Go for the f'ing ball or TACKLE

 

[Rusty22]

lol deserved 3-4, take it and run we'll see you round 4 steele

 

[Smoky]

2 weeks is harsh.

Our game has become soft.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

One of the more brain-dead acts you'll see, deserved his two quite easily.

So you say Steele is a Dirty Player because of that?

You should not said in the 1st place

2 is standard for that and probably lucky he didn't get 3 given Hannebery had concussion issues. Not great from one of our most experienced leaders. Swan and Sidebottom leaves a big hole in our midfield quality and experience for the next game.

Don't worry, I have been reliably informed that we have one of the best midfields in the AFL.
