Does he have a case to answer his hit on that prick Jack Riewoldt? If the MRP is anything to go by he could get 2 weeks or it could be thrown out. Thoughts?

Forgot about that. Was very worried at the time considering it was off the ball. I'd say he goes just based on precedent of off the ball hits. Also think wheoever hit Selwood off the ball has a case to answer as well.
Half the time they base it not on the "at the time vision" but the vision of how the player copes with it. Softy Riewoldt was on the ground for a while feeling sorry for himself so Schofield will probably get weeks. Don't like it, but that's how the MRP does things now.

Would have to heavily rely on the word out of Richmond
Bit harsh on Riewoldt as he was vomiting as he was making his way off the field. No idea whether Schofield will get a week or two for it though.

Interestingly enough waters hit a good sheppard early on, im sure its fine if its anyone but waters. First thought - shouldn't have taken the reprimand.
I'm expecting to see Schofield cop a week but Jackson get off.
Jackson's was a bump, alone the act doesnt usually draw much attention but if the player targetted is injured then the responsibility falls onto the player who infringed. See, Conca in round 1(?) this year.
The punch to the guts with a bit of force to it is usually more of an automatic penalty.

would have carryover points for his trip of murphy last year.
Guaranteed to miss a week, likely two.
If they call it low impact, he'll get 1 with a plea, if it's medium - he';ll cop 2.
The fact Riewoldt left his lunch on the turf suggests the MRP might make it medium.
Waters also might be looked at for his square up on Jackson

Yep spot on, a reprimand to a week will be about right

2 weeks. Similar to Ballantyne on Chappy.
Why is he a prick?

Shame it comes down to the outcome rather than the incident. I made comments about the Lindsay Thomas incident in another board last week that the AFL views these things as "bad for business".

Read somewhere Waters might come under scrutiny for his hit on Jackson as well.
I would say no case to answer usually but he was done for something similar on Grimes already this year

Why? Jackson and Waters were within 5 metres of the ball, and it was not a high bump, so how could it not be considered legitimate? I thought it was a beauty from the vice captain.
Surely not.

Why? Because what we all know and expect football is irrelevant in the MRP's eyes.
The tiger player had the ball - so it couldn't be deemed a shepherd.
As such the player being bumped has to have been reasonably expected to receive contact - which Riewoldt wouldn't have been.
Jackson will go for his hit on Scooter, and I think Beau will probably get a week (when you factor in his carryover) for his square up.
Do I like it? Not really, will it happen - yup!
FWIW - people actually need to understand the mechanics of the MRP - simply throwing out "that incident looks like a week" as it truly doesn't matter.
Joel Selwood will be getting 2 weeks minimum for his hit on Raines, when it was barely a tap.
Schoey (with a guilty plea) will get 1 week with 64 carryover points if his tummy tap is deemed light impact - Based on a Level 2 strike of 125 points plus his carryover of 93.75.
He will get 2 weeks and 39 carryover if it is medium impact - based on a Level 3 strike of 225 points plus carryover.
I was just complaining about no one remonstrating with Jackson then BAM! Beau lines up that beautiful hit

Trengove also knocked the guy out from memory so I think Schofield should be ok on this one
Should be fine, the guy's hip hit the ground first anyway so not sure how that is a sling tackle...
The clash with Reiwoldt may be cause for concern though
