MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[manureid]

Again the AFL showing how little they care about any kind of consistency and fairness. Farcical competition

little David's Port won't kick up a fuss in fact we'd argue being suspended in a match simulation is "pretty tough".

Same could be said for the Adelaide Crows Customers & Media!

This time last year SPP was flagged as a Dog & a Piece of Shit for his bump on Keene.

Hypocrites….

 

[Doctor Feel]

I think they wanted a penalty for ginby but had no rule to do it under.

Yep, & Keane had possession of the ball, so did Rankine. And neither were first gamers. Funny, where are those AFL tribunal sleaze buckets & their zeal for protecting players heads now?

 

[GremioPower]

It’s just as dirty

No. It’s not. It is WAY dirtier.

The AFL's rough conduct ruling is vague enough to fit it in.

There's even an example in the tribunal guidelines for rough conduct that talks about pushing an opponent in to a fast moving player. And that impact can be judged based on that collision, instead of the impact of the push itself.

Its just like the Maynard one, where the AFL simply doesn't want to apply its own rules.

AFL25: AFL drops the ball after top draft pick Sam Lalor is left with concussion, fractured jaw

No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor was left concussed and with a fractured jaw after an ugly incident against West Coast, but the man who pushed him in the back escaped punishment of any kind. The AFL got this decision wrong.

Waiting for a Ports player to be the sacrificial exemplar...

 

[Handyandy]

How about the big tunnel on jones by thilthorpe that sent him off for an extended rest & HIA in last year’s showdown. No free, umpires thought it fine apparently & so did the match review panel. Oh it’s ok to almost break a blokes neck & KO him.
They wonder why no kids play or follow the game

 

[shewho]

These pushes resulting in concussions are reportable now as “Rough Conduct”. It’s defined very broadly as conduct “unreasonable in the circumstances’.

I’m not sure why Ginbey wasn’t reported. The two more recent are also reportable but the MRO has tied himself in knots. There will likely be a rule clarification when, in reality, the clarification should be that:

1. The MRO is incompetent
2. He is inconsistent when it comes to clubs he had an association with, when it comes to big clubs (Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, West Coast) and when it comes to small clubs (which includes Port)

He ought to be removed and replaced.

 

[Grave Danger]

Well, none of the push in the back causing injury cases drew the ire of the MRO during the pre-season, but I bet the 'brains trust' have been working on something for the next time...

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Waiting for a Ports player to be the sacrificial exemplar...

Edmund doesn't bring it up, but on All Access Matthew Lloyd actually brought up Jordon Sweet on Michito Owens.

Where he actually said he'd give Sweet 2-3 games. Ginbey even more games and Curtin a fine.

I mean the first two events sure, but Owens tried to lay a cheap shot on Bergman and hurt himself in the process.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Mind you Ray Chamberlain on AFL360 thought Ginbey's was terrible, Curtin not even a free kick against. Sicily questionable.

And he didn't like Jordon Sweet's either because Sweet wasn't competing for the ball at all. But I'd still question whether Sweet even pushed Owens. Sweet looks like more a slight arm across to lay a small block on Owens.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I expected to open this and see the AFL had suspended Sweet.

Sweet pushed Owens because Owens blocked his run at the ball.

Suspension threat for pushing rivals amid spate of injuries

The AFL is keeping a close eye on the sudden spate of injuries.

[MrMeaner]

The fact that Michael Christian is still the MRO just undermines any integrity there might have been in the system.

Walsh accepts one-match ban

Xavier Walsh has accepted a one-match ban.

www.portadelaidefc.com.au

Port Adelaide defender Xavier Walsh has accepted a one-match ban imposed by the SANFL Match Review Panel.

During Sunday’s SANFL pre-season game at Alberton, Walsh was cited for careless conduct on Norwood's Tristan Binder. The second-quarter incident was graded high contact with medium impact.

Walsh will be unavailable for Port Adelaide's Round 1 clash on Friday, 28 March.

 

[RossFC]

Need to see the footage again, but I don't think he even got him high.

 

[Cold Sober]

Hit on Ridley hovers on a 'King Hit'.
Lynch bit late but harmless.
Archer straight out careless, needs to be pulled into line but, 3 weeks is excessive.
Swans one didn't seem to be much in it but they've accepted 3. [maybe it was Coll.]

Sorry boys, wrong sight i think.

Must admit after he broke Harry Grant’s jaw (and somehow avoided a ban) in the last game of the ‘24 season, thought there was some justice.
