Tribunal System...

[donAthon]

Wellingham 3 weeks.. When I saw this i thought 5 or more non-debatable.

Hocking 2 weeks?? Crameri 3 weeks?

I don't understand..

 

[Dwight Schrute]

They stupid... They very stupid.

 

[emblurr]

It's simple. For the lower end offences they use this.

If they are higher end they use this.

 

[daz17]

Wellingham got 5.
But due to a good record it got reduced to 3 with an early plea.

Also Crameri got 2 weeks.
3 consecutive 2 week bump suspensions.
Davey, Crameri and now Hocking.

 

[yaco55]

Crameri's and Davey's original penalties were three weeks.

 

[donAthon]

The bombers aren't having a good run with suspensions Regardless of Wellinghams good record and early plea I don't agree with him getting 3 weeks I think he deserved a lot more than that.

 

[Pweter]

The MRP has been done to death.

My only hope is that the AFL is listening to the supporters and media to understand that it is seriously tarnishing the game. It either needs a major overhaul or needs to be abolished.

If only the players and coaches were allowed to comment on it, they'd be getting stuck in too but the AFL has muzzled them for fear of a financial hit should they criticise anything.

 

[Slattery_20]

All of our suspensions have been just about spot on IMHO.

Wellingham's pretty lucky.
Waters incredibly (literally, you can't believe it) so.

Agree.

At least with all Waters' injury troubles he misses games that he should've probably been suspended for.

 

[Eleven 38]

The existing good record part is a load of crap, because you get loading for bad record, it should be one or the other....

 

[Slattery_20]

Shuey got weeks for hitting Thomas? Should be a medal IMHO. Just about the most hittable player in the league.

The only way he was getting more was if they directed it straight to the tribunal. I personally would have preferred that because I believe he deserved a heavy suspension.

 

[Slattery_20]

If they gave him intentional, there's no reduction for the plea (pretty sure).
And if they don't call that hit intentional, then they'll never call anything.

 

[Mercurial89]

Hockings was graded as intentional wasnt it?

 

[DonsRule]

Hockings was graded as intentional wasnt it?

Yes. Intentional - Body contact - Low.

 

[George Washington]

Yes. Intentional - Body contact - Low.

The joke is, how often does intentional, low impact body contact occur in our sport?

 

[daffo]

Hocking's could of easily been 3 so 2 was ok. Crameri was a tad unlucky, Davey got what he deserved as well.

Wellingham did get 5 so I think that was also fair.
If we stop doing stupid things we won't get suspended.

 

[DonsRule]

The joke is, how often does intentional, low impact body contact occur in our sport?

All the time, I do think it was soft, since it was more Hayes was caught unaware, than the bump itself. I think it was stilly to do that far off the ball though.

 

[Howard Moon]

Intentonal low body impact = a tackle. Joke.

anyhow I don't rate the 5 year good behaviour thing either...

If i ever murder anybody i'll be sure to ask the judge to be lenient because i havent murdered anyone else in the past 5 years.

A crimes a crime! Wellinghams act is up there as bad as it gets.. no eyes for the ball, only wanted to hurt, opponent vulunerbale , smashed his jaw, knocked out...

simpson will be out for atleast 6......

wellingham did the crime... do the time!
