Roast The result against St Kilda should be void

Can I get my money back?

I mentioned this to a mate last week and we were both puzzled that he wasn't given an auto 1 week for his third fine. Thought it wasn't a thing anymore until read about Cotch being on the edge of missing a week due to his two fines already this year now.

Sorry to intrude but the question isn't an unreasonable one. However, despite the OP wishing for the misconduct charge to be treated as classifiable, it wasn't.

Here is what I posted in the League thread which became the MRP thread which is back in the League thread (and we reckon the rules committee changes its mind all the time).

I couldn't see anything in the Tribunal Booklet that clearly states that 3x misconduct charges would mean a suspension.

CLASSIFIABLE OFFENCES
Striking
Kicking
Kneeing
Stomping
Charging
Rough conduct
Forceful front-on contact
Headbutt or contact using head
Eye-gouging / unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region
Unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the face
Unreasonable or unnecessary contact with an injured player
Scratching
Tripping

FIXED FINANCIAL OFFENCES BASE SANCTION (EARLY GUILTY PLEA SANCTION IN BRACKETS) FIRST OFFENCE SECOND OFFENCE THIRD & SUBSEQUENT OFFENCES
I won't list them all and as the 1st MRP statement just generally reads Misconduct (which isn't in the list on its own), but:
Any other act of misconduct that is not a Classifiable Offence or Direct Tribunal Offence The financial sanction for a first, second, third or subsequent act of misconduct will be determined by the MRP in its absolute discretion.

And further:
(C) MISCONDUCT Misconduct has a wide meaning and generally is any conduct which would be regarded as unacceptable or unsportsmanlike by other participants in the match or where it had the effect or potential to prejudice the reputation of any person, club or the AFL or to bring the game of football into disrepute. Serious misconduct offences will be referred directly to the Tribunal. However any other act of misconduct will be subject to a Fixed Financial Sanction to be determined by the MRP

Should be more threads like this, especially after we lose.

this thread is hilarious. Love Richmond and good to see you guys have a sense of humour

Forget voiding the result (will never happen and would not be a just outcome), but how the hell does something like this happen? No-one's keeping track?

Sports administration is still in the dark ages and apprentices have to carry around a little book with the winners they've ridden so the scales clerk can ensure they're carrying correct weight

Don't worry about it , we won the Flag anyhoo

In hindsight St Kilda probably gave us the right royal kick in the pants we needed.

Thanks St Kilda!

No, we were destined to win the flag from the moment Hoos declared us to beat the Cats in round 21

And I was right...but in my excitement I panicked and picked us 3 weeks early!

I knew we'd beat them, lol.

In hindsight Saints fans would be more upset about that match.

Just like those years we beat the Hawks and Swans in their premiership years... I often said if we can beat them why can't we do better come September? Saints would be asking the same thing this year.

Under no circumstances, will you win Oz Lotto tonight.

There you are. I'll take 5% in used fivers. Brown paper bag is fine.

I thank them too , I wonder if any correlation can be got from that to us then going on later in the year to kick pretty good scores for a team I would have said struggled to kick a ton often enough , even the matches we won.

155 , 122 , 91 , 103 & 108 of our last 5

Because Nick got a complete 100% emotional buy in by every player on the team, and Nick himself played one of the games of his career ... all for his sister. Well done to him. Was all about that one game.

If the fundraiser continues, hopefully Jack can continue the tradition.
