The Report/MRP Thread

[FreeTK]

What Yeo did (the shove) happens 70/80 or more times per game. The difference being his is claimed to have slipped high (to be tested tonight I think).

Guys grapple and push around contests all the time - it allows them space to win clearances. sometimes free kicks go against you (see Sheed on the weekend), other times an obscure 'strike' gets plucked out. But both of those charges (Yeo & Sheed) are in preference to our team not fighting for every inch of space.

What Gaff did (and Gov earlier this year, although it wasn't related to trying to get separation) are obviously in a different category, but a few fines here and there for playing hard (not throwing punches, but things line NN's suspension a couple of years back for a tackle, Sheed's fine etc which are essentially acts in going after the ball or player with it - that have slightly crossed the line) are the price we need to pay.

As long as players know that punches, headbutting etc are crossing the line (I think Simpson has made that pretty clear) then I don't think he'll be fussed about a few fines and the odd suspension here and there (even if it is frustrating) - provided they are directly related to winning the ball. Telling our players to be more gentle with our opponents would be the wrong approach IMO.

**** off.

No one said be gentle.

All I am saying it is don't push, shove or punch someone in a way that you may come in to contact with their head.

He got off the Shiel one as well right? Both incidents fell the player he hit.
Yeoy might be gone though. Since Gaff it's any intentional contact to the head. Hopefully will argue most of the force hit his chest and slid up

Yeah only diff with the Shiel one was the Christian actually charged him. He got off from the tribunal on that one. But the North one Christian deemed it insufficient force from the get go.

Much more force much more intent. MRO was right for a change.

Let's keep it simple like that

 

[The Dodger]

But the Gold Coast guy Gov hit wasn't treated for anything right?

Was Wayne Henwood, the Melbourne bloke. A bit like the prelim... #amiright

 

[ConcreteWaters]

He's hung up because he can't believe he has to waste time on this bullsh%$#

 

[DanWCE]

Did he turn it off and on again?

The only technical issue is old mate seeing something that doesnt exist

 

[squashface]

Amazing how I could have a 6 hour Zoom drinking session with my mates on my half broken HP laptop but old mate Wayne can't even stay connected to a Tribunal
