I've seen taggers do more to Sloane in a quarter of footy, than Tex's "hit".
Tex gets a fine.
Taggers get the accolades.
WTF?!

What made you take a print screen of it?

Adelaide are top of the ladder. Expect us to come under extra scrutiny and the umpiring bias to get worse. Victorians don't want a crows premiership.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surely got to challenge this as worst case scenario is a bigger fine.

It's a joke they have even fined him.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

The MRP have gone completely insane if that's all they've got to go on. 2nd fine in 2 weeks, will that count against him for future misdemeanours does anyone know?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Compare to Martin who got a fine for a thump to the face...

From an earlier page:

Tex's fine last week was for misconduct, which is a fixed financial offence. I.e. assuming he pleads/is found guilty of striking Lewis, it will be his first low level classifiable offence - so still a bit of breathing room before getting a game.

Cos it smelt strange when the rumours started. I wondered if they were going to quietly change the "match day report" after the fact - and they did.

I'm intrigued as to why it didn't come out sooner.

From an earlier page:

Ok ta. I thought it would be something like that. Still sucks though particularly considering that Dusty might've got off due to the lack of video with his incident. Where's the evidence of what Tex did? I haven't seen it yet.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Are you suggesting that Melbourne made a complaint? Or someone brought it to the MRP's attention?

Wouldn't be the first time a false doctors report was used by Melbourne in recent weeks.

 

[Thetrader15]

How many weeks did Lewis get?

Scroll back to page 4, video clip of "Monday Wash Up".

0.0

He has to appeal this on principal . Appears nothing in it.

 

[WAG]

WTF? This happens 50 times in a game. Absolutely nothing in it!

 

[Pugsley]

Time to show some backbone towards the VFL and take them on. This is utter bullshit but lets have a drug cheat present the Norm Smith medal

 

[Golumless]

Hopefully it does!! One more fine and he misses a week. Our luck he gets fined and misses a major final. Time to stop the little love taps.

Nope, keep it up but encourage a bit more subtlety with it. Like middle of a melee isn't the best time for it.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, you appeal that. No way that holds up as it's such a nothing thing, and easily could find worse things to happen as a precedent

Maybe not on the mobile app, but was definitely there about lunch time when I saw it on the website.

 

[treeman]

Is there any chance we will appeal?
When will we know by?

Thats fahour!

What's your stance on the fridge / pantry controversy?

Pantry, obviously.

If Tex gets another fine then misses a game, what happens after the 4th fine?

Does the penalty remain at 1 match for every fine offence for the rest of the year or does it reset once you've served suspension?

As I think has been established now this is only his 1st fine for these purposes. But yeh you get a game for the 3rd and each subsequent low-level classifiable offence. So Charlie Cameron for example couldn't get himself suspended for a meaningless game and wipe the slate clean.

Is there any chance we will appeal?

Wouldn't have thought so.
